Bobbieo, you did the right thing by telling your husband what to go do with himself. It's amazing how often the silent treatment is used to manipulate people.

Emotional abuse
I lived through several years of the "silent treatemnt". My late husband would go two to three weeks without speaking to me or my daughters. I finally caught on and went out and did my own thing - left the kitchen and laundry and went back to college and work.
After one three-week period of silence he finally decided it was time to talk to me again. In all my genteel demeanor, it was in the '60s, I responded " Go blank yourself" to which he wouldn't speak to me again for another three weeks, I was happy! Maybe this is why I lived to be 80 last week. He died 22 years ago.
