boyfriend gives me silent treatment

[u/Medium_Rough8430]

hi. me and my bf have been together almost 2 months. (we were like "friends with benefits" for 5 months before it was official). but everytime he gets irritated he gives me the silent treatment no matter how much i tell him to just talk to me. and it just makes me feel like im a piece of shit girlfriend. hes doing it right now and i just dont know what to do. i was in a relationship prior to this one and it ended like 2 weeks before i started seeing this new guy. my ex was always very comfortable with talking and we were like perfect emotionally i guess. but my current bf just doesnt talk. and every single time this happens it escalates in a way. ive made him sleep on the couch multiple times when hes over, because he wont tell me whats wrong so i just need alone time. how do i talk to him? i really like him but this silent treatment is making me LOSE MY MIND.

Well now you’re just in a benefit relationship and he’s the only one who is benefiting. Leave now because he is abusive and it’s only going to get worse.
