That really depends on what they have done to make me angry. In the case of my two ex-husbands...a lifetime.
I have a quick, fiery temper, but my anger is generally short lived. There are people who once angered me greatly, such that I have no desire for them in my life any longer, but that anger has faded to either sadness, disgust or indifference. Those are people I may exchange a few words with at funerals, but otherwise I do not speak to them.
It depends on the reason why I am angry with them. If the reason is false accusation after 1970, I may never talk to them again.
it can take years even a lifetime.
My ex-husband feels the same way about me. But I am so over it that seeing him doesn't bother me a bit.
Same here, I just can't be bothered.
I sure wouldn't want to piss you off. I have seen you in action.
When I'm angry with someone, the silence is generally to preserve civility. There have been a few times where I've had to walk away from an argument for a few hours or a day because I don't want to say something I'll regret or make the fight worse. I don't stay angry, though. If the silence continues after that, I see the person or the relationship as something toxic and I cut myself off from it. In those cases, I don't talk to them because I'm indifferent. It has nothing to do with anger.
Great comment.
Until I cannot avoid it anymore or the other person dies.
Okay, perhaps I understated it a bit. :)
Am I the only one? Everyone so far is so CIVIL.
When I am mad? You need to stay away for good. Until I am not mad. Sometimes that takes hours. Sometimes. Weeks. Sometimes years. Sometimes for good.
If I have broken all contact, that´s it.
Anywhere from 15 minutes (the kids) to a lifetime (ex husband) actually not really angry with him anymore he's just dead to me.
