Although most couples have experienced a long and awkward period of silence after a row it is unlikely to compare to a husband and wife who have not spoken for two decades - but continue to live with each other. Otou Katayama, from Nara, southern Japan, continues to live with his three children and wife, Yumi, who perseveres in making conversation with him but has only ever received a nod or a grunt in response for 20 years. The Japanese couple's silence was revealed by their 18-year-old son Yoshiki, who wrote into a TV show asking them to fix the situation as he had never heard them have a conversation.
And sure enough, a meeting was arranged between them in the park where they had their first date, as their emotional children watched on. 'Somehow it's been a while since we talked.

20 years without speaking. 18 y/o child. I guess speaking isn’t necessary if they still show affection in other ways.
Irony... no talk in 20 years but have an 18 year old son.

Old joke: Couple didn’t speak for 30 years. One morning, the husband said “The oatmeal’s too hot.” The wife nearly fainted! She said, “You don’t talk for 30 years, and THIS is what you say to me??” He replied, “Well, for 30 years everything’s been good.”

In order for the silent treatment to work, it actually has to be considered punishment by the other person. I always looked upon it as a nice break.
Maybe because the wife slept with another man and had the child he’s forced to raise
Might have known it wasn’t the woman who was silent
for twenty years.
MIght be like my sister who can’t be silent for five
minutes.
yeah i take it as relief.
Having sex with a woman is NOT showing affection to her if you are not on speaking terms with her.
It’s using her to fulfill his own desires and for his own pleasure only.
He’s one incredibly selfish and immature man and his wife enabled it.
She probably never lets him get in a word edgewise.
Good for them for working through it.
As a kid, I remember my parents going to a 50th anniversary celebration. Before they left my Mom and Dad talked about what is was going to be like because this couple had not spoken in many years. He received the guests in one room and she received in another room. Their children hosted. Rural Iowa in the 50’s where divorce simple did not happen.
A man was leaving a convenience store with his morning coffee when he noticed a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery. A black hearse was followed by a second black hearse about 50 Feet behind the first one. Behind the second hearse was a solitary man walking a dog on a leash. Behind him, a short distance back, were about 200 men walking single file.
The man couldn’t stand the curiosity. He respectfully approached the man walking the dog and said: “I am so sorry for your loss, this may be a bad time to disturb you, but I’ve never seen a funeral like this. Whose funeral is it?” “My wife’s.” ‘’What happened to her?” “She yelled at me and my dog attacked and killed her.
“He inquired further, “But who is in the second hearse?” The man answered, “My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog turned on her.”
A very poignant and touching moment of brotherhood and silence passed between the two men.
“Can I borrow the dog?” the man replied, “Get in line.”
On the plus side, the make-up sex should be amazing.
Okay, do the math hete...
