subject: Is Your Ex Girlfriend Giving You The Silent Treatment? This Is What You Need To Do [print this page] I've got to admit, like most guys, I am not really that fond of getting the silent treatment from a woman. It can be a very disheartening experience to want to openly communicate with a woman, only to find that she would rather give you that long silence that makes you feel self conscious and like a total buffoon for assuming that you would be able to break the ice with her and get some kind of a warm response. It doesn't just feel disheartening if you want her back, it also feels that way if you just wanted to remain on amicable terms with her. If your ex girlfriend is giving you the silent treatment and you are feeling bewildered by it all, then you might want to get some advice on what you can and should do.
I'd say that one of the things that you definitely should do is to assume that it is possible that she is going to do that to you. I think that some guys get frustrated just because they think that their ex girlfriend wants to have open communication and then when they realize that this is not the case, it comes as kind of a shock to them. That is one thing that you can do right away that will at least prepare you for having to deal with an ex girlfriend acting that way with you.
You also want to understand that just because you want things to be a certain way, it does not mean that she does. You may want to remain on amicable terms and she would rather just cut all ties to you. Or, you may want to patch things up with her and she may want to date someone else and that means that she would just rather not have to deal with you.
Women also tend to use the silent treatment as a way of punishing a guy, so it might be something that you did or something that she perceives you did that is causing her to shut down when you come around. The easy fix for that may be just a simple apology, or it may be just in giving her some time to cool down. Whatever you do, do not allow the fact that your ex girlfriend is not openly communicating with you make you feel like you have to try and force her to speak to you. If it is space that she wants, give it to her. If it is time that she needs, give that to her as well.
