My husband has pulled that one for 4 decades. He says he does it because he doesn't want to "get into it" or "doesn't want to start an argument." What he doesn't understand, even after all these many years, is that the lack of communication is what fuels the fire. Open, calm, dialogue - each person genuinely listening to the other and using healthy communication skills, would stop the ongoing hurt.
imo, someone who does the silent thing is either game-playing or is just too lazy to bother learning how to properly and effectively communicate. i.e., they don't care that much.
