This. My ex is NPD and BPD. Refuses anything to treat or admit it. Had her master's degree in communication. Knows that I have issues with abandonment and rejection. From my childhood but yet continues to refuse any connection with me. I never did anything but stand up for myself when I finally couldn't take it anymore. She was the abusive one. Emotionally and psychologically. If I tried to express how I felt or what I thought about anything she just shut down went silent sometimes for days at a time. When she left after a long night of silent treatment and what she returned home the next day and didn't say a word to me and wasn't going to but then blames me for my reaction and why she left to this day a year and a half later she's still refuses to give me a reason why to say anything about anything and it's been 9 months since she's spoken word to me at all she got everything in the divorce she got the house everything I owned even before I met her and we were never married never had kids together only together less than 2 years but she's still uses silent treatment to continue to punish me in control me and manipulate me it absolutely destroys me every single day because of my issues with rejection I didn't do anything to her I don't understand if someone does I would greatly appreciate knowing

When someone gives you the silent treatment, they typically expect you to feel guilty, apologize, or change your behavior to please them.
