<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

My fiance was abused as a child and takes things so personally. And I get that. But he treats his adult children SO much better than he treats me. He would never say to them the things that he says to me. And of course he would never give them the silent treatment.

I know what a good romantic relationship is like because I had one for many years. My late husband died 11 years ago. And I was in an abusive relationship 
after my husband died.  This relationship (with my fiance) is definitely better. Our good times are wonderful. But our fights are horrible. 

Thank you for answering. This obviously sucks on new years eve.
<bot>: (1) Is giving someone the silent treatment ever the right thing and/or (2) how do you deal with it if it happens to you?
