Resolving arguments with the missus
Discussion
Taking control of the couch and remote control will definitely break the silence sooner than later. For sheer spite, cancel any series-linked shows she has on sky plus and pretend not to know anything about it.
Speak loudly and jovially to friends on the phone. Just basically carry on as normal but twice as cheerfully. As if life has never been so good since she decided to shut her cake-hole. They cant wait to f
k that up by opening it again.

It may take a day or two, but the volcanic eruption that will finally surface will eventually get you an answer to your question.
Don't get sucked into the "if you loved me, you would know" bks. If she starts down that route, ignore her.
They can't be reasoned with, don't try
I doubt this will help, but not much does it seems?

Why would you want to resolve it? If someone is so childish that they refuse to speak to you on a regular basis (no matter who's fault it is) I'd be packing my bag and walking.
Tell her to grow up, and stop being an arse!

It can go for days without her speaking to me sometimes, and I seem to be the one to try and make amends 9/10 irrespective of blame or fault.

Next post from the OP: "Help, I just woke up, and I've had my scrotum sewed to the bed sheet". I should imagine that isn't too bad. The bleeding would stop quickly and after a few weeks the pain would have subsided.I am still refining the approach after about ten years together (yeah, that's a problem, not being able to remember).
Phase 1: enjoy the silence and freedom.
Phase 2: start doing considerate things (washing up, making dinner etc). Do not attempt conversation or react negatively if you don't get thanks or an apology.
Phase 3: wait for the approach, listen to her blathering on for a bit, make sympathetic noises, make up.
At no stage is it really necessary to apologise. You probably haven't done anything wrong.
Before I perfected this woman management process it would take days to resolve squabbles, and we'd end up having no idea what started it. Now I get through the whole thing in a couple of hours, usually with an apology before lights out.
