I go quiet, but not to punish my husband, but to try to keep the discussion/ argument from getting any worse. I guess if I don't say any more to him, he might calm down. I don't think a day goes by when I don't do this. I think it might be one of my coping things. For example today I put on a skirt, shirt, jacket that matched the skirt, a pair of tights, and flat shoes. My husband was making a big deal about what I had on, saying I was dressed up, but I like to ware dresses, and skirts every now and then. So when he first brought it up I told him I like to ware a skirt once and awhile. When he brought it up again, and for the rest of the day, when he brought it up, I just didn't say anything.
