3. Don’t forget that silence is golden.
This is really hard for anyone, but especially for women. We are wired to be expressive and when we force ourselves not to be, bad things happen. However, there is a real power in not giving someone the time of day.
Remaining silent is effective in person, but even more so when it comes to texts. Completely icing him out may allow him to take a step back, think about what’s down, and prompt an apology.
Remember: Sometimes, not contributing to an argument is actually a contribution in itself (I know that’s an oxymoron, but it works, I promise).
