As well as leaving important issues in your marriage unresolved, the silent treatment may make
your spouse feel worthless, unloved, hurt, confused, frustrated, angry, and unimportant.
In such marriages, one
spouse likely
feels betrayed, vulnerable,
worthless, angry, and possibly depressed; the other
spouse may
feel guilty about ending the marriage and yet angry about the relentless blame and clinging behavior of his or her
spouse.
