I think my fiance is a narcissist and I am at the end of my rope. He will go for days without saying anything. He just ignores me

Do you still feel confident about marriage to your fiancee?

Why are you engaged to someone who says nothing for days? Was he always like that?

From personal experience, my take on receipt of the silent treatment. It lasted three days, the first time. With my pleading, that I don't like going to bed angry, that whatever it is I can handle hearing it. It stripped me down, as I'm apt to self blame(note my depression and anxiety both not elsewhere specified and nos), it forced my hand into a walking on eggshells from there on out. It was supposedly the dust behind the tv, silly me!

Oh could be something else.,, gee... Bet you happy to be done

My dad does silent treatment. Over nothing.

He once did silent treatment with all of us my mom me my brother (we were adults it was few years ago).

He didn't like that we asked him to change the topic. He was sitting at Mother's Day brunch (plenty of people attended) and talking loudly what a lousy holiday that is and why we celebrate mothers what so special about them. My brother asked him to change the topic as it is upsetting to mothers at the table and i seconded it. He first yelled at us and then didn't speak to any of us for few months. What fun

I am very glad to be out of an unhealthy relationship. Before deciding to end it, one piece of knowledge stood out to me, was provided one parent is relatively healthy on an emotional level, and I use relatively because our brains are imperfect organs, that children stand a better chance at not repeating the patterns of dysfunction.
It's an interesting coincidence that you mentioned mother's day as a stand out memory of your father's behavior as such. I want to say the second (or third)mother's day after my mom passed, my ex maintained a couple hours of a visitation schedule. I told him that since he'd visit them, I needed a couple hours to myself. What a fiasco. Was berated, how dare I not want to be with my kids, in front of my kids. It was a fiasco. It was my first after her passing no longer on an anti depressant and I felt intensely due to not having the medication. Needed to feel my emotions for what they were.

I bring this up, because once the silence begins, it's nearly unrecoverable unless they grab their own bull by the horns and willfully address their issues and make a change...

I guess you haven't read the problem I am going through. My husband told me to leave the house. I did thinking he just needed a couple days of cooling off. I left, he didn't speak to me for a week nor would he let me come home. The only answer I was getting was that it was all my fault. To date, he still says its my fault that I hurt him so bad. I finally went home close to a month later. In the beginning he still wouldn't speak. I felt tortured. In the beginning all he kept telling me was it was all my fault. I posted my issue under "none speaking husband" I honestly think my husband is a Narcissist. I seen no signs until February. We will be married two years in June and this month made six years being together.
As I would post and people would ask me question, I would answer. Between all of the responses, they opened my eyes to things I didnt see.

What if your intentions aren't meant to be abusive? I don't go for day's being silent. If what's going to come out of my mouth is going to be cutting, why say more thing's than what's already been said?

Going on for days not talking to a person you live with is abusive.

Are you able to express that you're upset, but not in a place, in the moment to have a calm discussion?

My experience with silent treatments is that it was out of nowhere..unexpected and downright cold to be handed.
