I was having a conversation with someone who said that the main problem with their marriage is that there was a lack of communication. I’ve heard that many times, and I would like to know how that can affect the relationship, to the point where someone cheats or divorces? Have you ever felt that there was a lack of communication in your relationship and what did you do to improve this issue?
How does a lack of communication effect the relationship to divorce? Because they never do anything to fix the communication problem. To have a succesful relationship, you HAVE to communicate, even when its hard, difficult, embarrassing, or something you know the other person will be unhappy about.
So, what ends up happening is that each partner is seeing the other partner doing things and behaving in different ways, but no one wants to talk about it because they are afraid someone’s feelings will get hurt, or it will make them mad. And then that one example builds up to be 10 examples, to 100 examples, to 1000 examples. And after so long, there are just so many hurt feelings, or misunderstandings, but no one ever tried to communicate about it.. that it turns into resentment and unhappiness.
There is a lack of communication right now in my relationship. Its hard to deal with. And basically I am just trying to be open about my feelings, and letting him know that he can tell me his. Ultimately, i am a fan of going to a counselor that can help us communicate, but we dont have the money for it right now.
Yes, there HAS been a lak of communication in my former marriage. Led to the later divorce.
