Annie: "You can fix this by talking to him enough."
She's correct that the silent treatment is inappropriate, because it's never appropriate. From my high school math: formally, the statement "P implies Q" is true whenever Q is a true statement, including things like "it's raining, therefore my mother was born in Germany" or "some dowagers are thistles, therefore 2+2=4." Or, in this case, "the LW did nothing wrong, therefore her husband shouldn't be giving her the silent treatment."
