She Said She Didn’t Understand the Silent Treatment

Summary

My wife said she didn’t understand the “silent treatment,” yet in three years of marriage, she never once tried to make up with me.

The first time she did it, I was proud. We ignored each other for seven days straight.

The seventh time, I started to panic. I tried everything I could think of, but she wouldn't break.

By the eleventh time, I had learned to swallow my own emotions. I would apologize before Sophia even had to say a word.

I thought she was just born cold, that no one could ever warm her heart.
