    If you and your partner can’t talk to each other like adults in a relationship … it won’t be a relationship for very long.

      A lot of people never had positive role models when it comes to sharing their feelings.

      When I started dating my now wife, she would sometimes ignore me for a week if we got into a disagreement, just because she couldn’t tell me what’s bothering her and be real with her own emotions.

      She’s grown a lot since then and when there’s inevitably a new argument we can resolve it very quickly now.

      Communication is important, but it’s something you have to learn.

      Not true my shitty ass marriage of mutual animosity has lasted almost two decades. So… I got that going for me.

        That’s not a relationship … that’s Stockholm syndrome

      • I’d rather be single than have that. My sister has a weird couple as friends, they’re always so hostile and sarcastic to each other, constantly arguing. Why anyone would stay willingly in a relationship like that is beyond me.

          Codependency. Lots of people can’t stand to be by themselves so they’d rather be in a terrible relationship than being alone.
