What do you do when you have just reconciled with someone you really care about & you want to talk and clear the air but instead you get The Silent Treatment..... How it hurts! :brokenheart:

    This not something I have personally experienced but after a lifetime of observing people have a couple of guesses.

    First one is that maybe the other party would just as soon forgive and forget,in other words whatever caused the rift is painful and they want to move on and leave it in the past.

    The second possibility is that perhaps you have considered yourself reconciled but are not reading it right that they have as well.

    I guess I should at that point ask what do you mean by reconciled?
    Is it a situation where you have decided you want to communicate but they have not or does it mean you have both started talking to each other but not about what the problem that drove you apart?

    If it is the first situation then you really haven`t reconciled yet and how to do that is the question to deal with.

    Thanks, Carl! You are soooooo Spot On! From his point of view...... I have a feeling you are right! I went to one of his gigs the other night & we were Civil to each other. When he saw me, his eyes fluttered & he sucked his breath in. He looked scared. He held on to my hand & said that my hand "felt quiet...." We really didn't talk. You are sooooo right! The absence of outright hostility does not mean we have "reonciled." Gosh! This is invaluable insight! Would love to be MPF Friends! :flowerforyou:
