What does silent treatment look like? When my partner ignores me for days after an argument, is that the silent treatment? How can I distinguish between needing space and being given the silent treatment, and what's the best way to address it?

Hi Dear. Thank you for the question. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. Silent treatment is when someone avoids you and stays cold to you. It's a passive aggressive response. What your partner does is silent treatment. We can say that, but that isn't healthy. Best way to address would be ask your partner that this letting him know that this reaction of his is affecting you and coming together to talk it out rather than avoiding. You both can find some neutral hobbies that you both are interested and spend quality time. Also have a talk day whenever possible to express yourself. Hope it's helpful.

I am a first year student. I had an ex who was abusive to me. coincidentally we got admission in the same college. I see him everyday and he is happy and ignores me. but online he was showing few signs of missing me like using my name for his spotify profile and making playlists,putting a story on my birthday etc. I feel like I'm stuck. everytime I see or hear something about him I get anxiety attack. I can't breathe. I can't focus on my studies at all. what should I do?
I'm really sorry you're going through this. It’s completely normal to feel anxious when faced with reminders of a painful past, but it's important to prioritize your mental health. It might help to set boundaries and focus on self-care. I'd encourage you to join my live sessions from 10-12 in morning and 9-12 at night. You don’t have to face this alone—feel free to reach out to me, and we can work through this together.

"I need to talk to my partner about not wanting to live together, but I'm worried about how they might react. What’s the best way to approach this conversation?"
Anonymous4d
Having a conversation about not wanting to live together can be challenging, but honesty is key. Start by choosing a calm, private setting where you both feel comfortable. Clearly express your feelings, focusing on your reasons rather than placing blame. For example, you might explain that you value your independence or need more time to strengthen the relationship before taking that step. Encourage an open dialogue, allowing your partner to share their thoughts and feelings too. It’s important to listen actively and be empathetic, as this decision may be disappointing for them. Ultimately, approaching the conversation with respect and understanding can help both of you navigate this sensitive topic more effectively.

Is Divorce rate higher if you live together first?
Anonymous4d
Research suggests that couples who cohabit before marriage may have a higher divorce rate compared to those who do not. Factors like relationship stability, communication, and commitment play significant roles. Cohabiting can sometimes lead to a more casual approach to marriage, which might influence long-term outcomes. However, this is a complex issue and can vary based on individual circumstances and cultural factors.

I filed for my divorce recently and since the day my husband has said that he doesn’t want to live with me, life has been extremely tough. His words keep ringing in my head. I genuinely want to ask my fellow ladies, how do i move on?? How can i stop thinking abt all the memories that we made??
Hi beautiful soul, harsh words can make you overthink. The reactions that you got from your husband were inevitable. But you need composure in life. Let us come together in my live session at night from 10 to 11 and from 12 to 01 to get more clarity.

I fought with my husband for the first time after our marriage. We tied the knot a month ago and now i have no clue how to get back after the fight. He doesn’t think he is wrong nor do i feel that i was wrong. How can i repair the relationship and sought the fight??
Hey don’t shy away from fights. Having arguments is okay and completely fine. Always remember that it’s the argument or topic which you fought upon was difficult and not the relationship. Calmly address your feelings and thoughts to your partner and your partner as well to do the same. Remember that it’s not ‘You vs Me’ but ‘You both as a Couple vs the Problem’.

Hey guys. I've always been in a toxic household and wanted to leave just as soon as I can. I couldn't go out for my studies as they didn't allow me but now when I'm in a stable and loving relationship I'm thinking of getting into a live in. Now the thing is my parents aren't allowing it and my boyfriend is pestering me. What do I do now.???
Why is your boyfriend pestering you for it? You should first consider everything and then go for it. And try to persuade your parents more(ik its hard with strict parents,can totally relate)
Hey there, Getting pressured by both sides can certainly be uncomfortable and challenging to deal with, but it's also your decision about your life so try to analyse the pros and cons of either step you wish you take and understand what might be good for you. It can certainly be uncomfortable to get out of your comfort zone, but if it benefits you in the future, then it might even be worth it :)

What does one do if the husband cheats on you

You should leave him. File a divorce.

you should just walk away and get to live your life on your own terms.

My husband has cheated on me. I have also forgiven. He stayed there for a few months now. But now again he avoids me. He is not interested in having sex with me. Neither does it give me any financial or emotional sleep. I don't understand what to do. He told me once that he was not interested in me. Abhi says yes but as always only with excuses. But she had feelings for having an affair. What should I do? But if I leave, if I leave you, I have a child.. I have a daughter.
Anonymous24d
hy sandy1290 though i dont have right to speak in your personal matter but i still want to say it that if their is no love ,no affection no respect an you knows it well just because of your daughter how much you will suffer .this is yoyr life if he can live his life by hurting you than why you cant live with your daughter alone. please think about your self take a hard step it will give little pain to u but in future you can breath happily stay happy an can live better with your daughter.
Hi.. hope you are well! I can understand the kind of pain and mental conflict you are going through. Before taking any decision you need to make yourself feel mentally and emotionally strong. If you are able to have a peace of mind then you can think carefully and support your daughter. Being financially independent is also a key. Please focus on these areas. Post this you will see that you are able to make better life choices.
