Combating the "Silent Treatment"

[Anonymous User]

If any of you have received the silent treatment by your SO or spouse, what did you do to combat/refute it?

I heard of the idea where when your SO/spouse decides to give you the silent treatment, go with it. Then when it's dinner time, just ask, "What do you want for dinner?" If he/she's silent, just say, "Alright, I'll take that as 'nothing'." If it isn't dinner time, just go make a cake or something delicious and say, "You want some?" Again, if he/she's silent, just say, "Alright, I'll take that as a 'no'."

I haven't had an SO, but I find this tactic to be rather silly and childish so I'd love to hear what you do to refute it.

I am a talker and he has been more of a listener. I think that is a best combination. No. I have not come across a situation where there has been perfect silence.
