- If you're dealing with a narcissist, you know that their silent treatment can be incredibly frustrating. In this video, we'll give you some effective ways to counter the narcissist's silent treatment.
Dr. David Clarke will discuss ways on how to deal with their anger and how to stay strong in the face of silence from the narc. By learning how to deal with the narcissist's silent treatment, you'll be able to get through the tough times together!
The best thing to do, I think, is to go silent yourself. Don't answer the phone, don't text, email, call, or speak. Sssiiillleeennnccceee!
I did this when I filed for divorce for almost a month. He started talking to me once he received the divorce papers. He had the audacity telling me he gave me time to get over my anger after her manhandled me and was caught being with a younger woman. Narcs never take accountability.
I so wish I knew this information before now. During the silent treatment, I cried, I apologized....
My former husband did this all the time. At first, I would say, what did I do this time? After a couple years, I just ignored him. Marriage obviously died. Divorced last year. David is correct, I moved and never missed him. I felt freedom.
When my narc decides to give me the silent treatment, it's the blissful quietness that I embrace. Otherwise, he's constantly yakking at me, whining at me, or telling me everything I'm doing wrong when he's home.
With the last silent treatment that happened months before I finally told him I was done and filing divorce, here are some of my tricks when I knew I needed to focus on myself and not seek his attention anymore, ever again:
I was my husband's co-worker for 7 years before I became his wife. I knew nothing about narcissism. I remember one ocassion at the job he stoped talking to me for a month, I never knew why. I am sorry to say I dated him anyways! Now we are separated because I left, not divorced yet and he is giving me the I am so hurt silent treatment. I pray for the day I do not care anymore.
