My husband and I usually tell one another when we're in a bad mood and why we're quiet. We then give each other the space or support that the other needs. That's healthy communication in my experience.

The tweet is putting the burden on the partner to notice the OP's moodiness and to ask "why" without any input from OP other than acting different.

    That’s a very healthy behavior for sure.

    I added this as an edit to my previous response, but it does directly address your response so I’ll put it here too:

    “You came out swinging stating that this tweet is categorically unhealthy, and then arguing your point by reading “silent” as “bad mood” which is not in any way implied by the tweet. All the tweeter wants is a partner whose response to a change in behavior is curiosity/concern/empathy instead of anger/blame.”

    It appears to me that the entire conflict in this thread is due to the interpretation of silent as bad mood and asking why as being the point instead of the reaction being the issue.

    Edit: Does that seem like an accurate read to you?
