Popular Post Kinnock Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2020 Question for people with Thai wives or girlfriends - inspired by the 'Why are Thai girls so violent' thread, which seemed to conclude that they are generally not violent (my experience too), but they are masters of the extended silent sulk. I experienced a 5 day marathon silent period, which I think may have been quietly extended as I didn't notice the first two days. I've also learned there's no point asking what's wrong, but as there's no interruption to other services there's no real need to either. But what's the longest silent treatment you've experienced, and did any TV member ever find out the cause? Please share your experiences and tips. 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chickenslegs Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) What is this "silent sulk" and how can I get it?

Popular Post KhaoYai Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2020 I can't say this would work for everyone but after the first time, which to be honest only lasted until the next morning when she just acted as if nothing had happened (quite common apparently), I decided I couldn't be doing with it. The next time I told her I was leaving, call me when you are prepared to talk. She let me pack, even walk out of the building but the phone rang 5 minutes later. 3 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Justgrazing Posted May 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2020 A week .. She stormed off the beach when we were in Cha'am .. and the sneaky cow went and took the motorbike back to the renter to cop the deposit .. So I bussed it to Patt's ignoring the txt's over the following days until a week had gone before replying 'her eventually turning up in Patt's .. Over the following fortnight she did the same twice again , throw a strop , storm off then try the txt'ing approach to get back in .. the 2nd occasion being cos I wanted the aircon at 24c and she wanted 23 and cos I kept the remote she went and slept on the floor .. like they do .. A nice peach doesn't make up for the petulance , death stares and ear bashing you get from them sometimes .. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience the length of the silent spells increases in proportion with how long you've been married, but as she wont say what you've done wrong anyway, just ignore them and they go away. I think the Thai husbands approach is to visit the 'gik' until it blows over, but that may be why most Thai marriages last about 3 weeks. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 If you think about it the "silent mood" must be a real sign of unhappiness. You can't or don't want to even talk about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post seasia Posted May 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2020 About 3 days from mine, with a few periods of between 1 and 2 days. Mentioned it to a friend of mine, his maximum was 2 weeks. Other times though my partner talks too much, mostly childish nonsense. Actually wouldnt mind 1 day on 1 day off. If only there was a switch I could turn on and off. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
