Speaking treatment
Giving them the silent treatment is a fairly common way that wives all over the world signal their disapproval with whatever their husbands have done wrong this week. Bypassing anger to radiating disappointment and frustration, it can be very effective.
Worse, in this husband’s opinion, is the speaking treatment. I’m guessing here, but I assume that the speaking treatment involves explaining to her husband, at great length, exactly what he’d done wrong, what he should have done instead, and why it was such a big deal.
