On the other hand I believe she grew up in a family where nobody really talked about their feelings at all.
Either way it's killing me and the relationship. Like was said , I wish it were so easy as to just walk out .
Thanks again......

Oh, the silent treatment is almost surely passive-aggressive. In addition, your wife most probably grew up in an environment that modeled p-a behavior.
