Dear Ben:

I think that when two people live together, in a relationship, and one gives the other the silent treatments, repeatedly and unapologetically, and when there are no children in the relationship, the silent treatment is in itself a valid ground for divorce.

“I am about to break their daughter’s heart”- I think it is your heart that has been breaking for a long time. Her heart is angry more than it is hurt, vengeful. I suppose this is why you are “scared of what she will do”?
