How do I handle getting the silent treatment from my boyfriend?
When my boyfriend gets in a snit, he gives me the silent treatment for days. When I ask what is wrong, I get nothing: no reply, no phone call. If he does reply, it is something very sarcastic and hurtful. He never admits he is wrong and never apologizes.

<p>&nbsp;This sounds very hurtful for you to be on the receiving end of this. You can ask yourself " what am I learning from the way I am being treated? " &nbsp;and consider whether or not this is in fact either (1) &nbsp;A message or value that you agree with and believe will strengthen your relationship and help you to grow as a person or (2) &nbsp;A message or value that is damaging to the relationship or &nbsp;to your view of your self and others. &nbsp;Once you've considered that and come to your own conclusion, you will likely know what you need to do. &nbsp;If you're still stuck, you may want to consider seeing an individual therapist for yourself &nbsp;to process your feelings about the relationship or a couples therapist with your partner to work on improving your communication with each other.&nbsp;</p>
