Question by Space Chicken: Is giving “the cold shoulder” or “the silent treatment” emotional abuse?
In an otherwise loving relationship, just shutting someone out for hours because of something they said… Is this an immature coping response? Or is it a healthy response? I like to talk things out then and there, but I understand people need time to cool down, as not everyone is as calm as myself. Is there a difference between calming down and the silent treatment. Is it an improper way to treat someone you respect?

If it goes on for more that two days, then it’s time to leave. People need time to cool down, but the problem will need to be solved eventually.
