When a person shuts down in the relationship it only causes more problems. Shutting down isn't the mature or proper way to handle any problem or issue. If you love who you're with, communication is necessary. Sometimes people shut down because it's what they're used to doing because they don't like confrontation. Sometimes people shut down out of fear. Sometimes people are too insecure to talk about how they feel. Regardless the reason, shutting down will always open the door to new and sometimes worse issues. Don't do it!
