1. Emotional calm and self-protection: Men often choose a cold war after an argument to give themselves time to calm their intense emotions and avoid making words or actions that harm the relationship between the two parties when they are angry or emotionally high. This is a self-protection mechanism that temporarily withdraws from the conflict environment to avoid further emotional harm and verbal conflict.
2. A cooling off period for seeking solutions: During the Cold War, men may have been contemplating the root causes of problems and attempting to find solutions from a more objective and rational perspective. They hope to communicate with their partners in a more mature and effective way after their emotions have stabilized, rather than making hasty decisions or responses when they are emotionally agitated.
3. Expressing dissatisfaction and expecting the other party to take the initiative: Sometimes, cold war is also a way for men to express dissatisfaction. They may feel that their opinions or feelings are being ignored during arguments, so they choose to remain silent to attract the other party's attention, hoping that their partner can actively detect and try to repair the relationship. At the same time, this may also be a test to see if the other party is willing to take a proactive step towards a harmonious relationship.
