Now, you’ve got two lovers ignoring each other instead of making each other happy. If you’re playing games like this in your romantic relationships, it’ll usually encourage the other person to do the same. This isn’t the key to a healthy relationship at all. If a man’s wife is withholding sex, he might try to ignore her to get what he wants.īut, if you think it’s right to punish someone you love, you’ve got the wrong idea of what true love is. So, if a guy’s crush isn’t responding well to his attention, he might try playing hard to get instead. The psychology of ignoring someone you love surrounds the idea of ‘punishing’ behavior that we don’t like. If it’s ‘true love’, this guy would surely struggle to ignore you for any significant amount of time. Although it’s a somewhat effective strategy to change the behavior of the person you love, the silent treatment certainly isn’t a clear sign of affection.
