Hi mylotters, What would you say about a couple who don`t talk with each other? For me it will caused you two into a fight and conflicts.. because talking about your differing points of view, even having lively discussions, helps love to grow through a better understanding. When you encounter fights and conflicts in your relationship better talk with one another.

Those couples who don't talk with each other when there are conflicts or problems will end up very easily. Anything that came to your relationship even it is happiness, problems, or anything you couples must talk. It is very important to a relationship that both communicate even in worst happenings.

for me i think arguing is better than fighting with each other.because if you both argue on something the end point would be both of you agreeing in something but if you fight you both might get hurt each others feeling and might also hurt each other physically which is not healthy for a relationship

One thing special about my wife is that when we have an arguement, we both have our say, then it's on with our life. Whe should a differecce of opinion upset a life long relationship? It doesn't make sense! My first wife wouldn't speak for days! Time is too valuable for that.

Sometimes the reason they don't talk is that they want to avoid more bigger fights or they avoid to prolong the fights because they don't know what is the meaning of give and take and understanding and to listen to one another. I hope my future relationship will not be like that. I wish my partner to be more understanding than me,and any conflicts should be solved within the end of the day. It is not good to prolong the problems since is can affect your relationship and it can grow to more bigger problems.

I think that no matter who you are or who your partner is there will always be a difference of opinion.We find it hard to find time to talk to each other and yes sometimes this can cause problems,but just like everything else we always make up as soon as we have had an argument.I think that every relationship would have this problem at some point in the relationship.

Yes, and you should make sure that the problem is solved before you go to bed. Never go to bed angry. It is not a good thing. TATA.

I don't think so.Its better to shut up rather than having a fiery talks between two people that could not mix with each other.One should be more soft heartened and try to improve the relationship.

If you have to avoid a fight or conflict then your in the wrong relationship. Take at look at the big picture and see what you want from this relationship. What does the other person want from this relationship? A view or an opinion is exactly that an opinion. A person should be able to voice it with fearing conflict. There are more deeper issues with in oneself that needs to be addressed. Maybe you should evaluate your relationship and see if it is what you or the other person wants? Every person has disagreements with their partners but most are not avoiding out of fear that it will lead to a fight. Each person should have the respect of the other partner to listen to what they have to say. The same goes for other partner. Then maybe they come to a compromise where they are both happy. Usually there is a deeper or underlying issue than the argument or conflict at hand. Some resentment from the past makes you feel better to be in control or right at all cost. What are the precursors? Are you afraid of your partner when they get mad? are you afraid that they may leave you? Are you afraid that physical harm will come to you? Will you be degraded and so on....Only you will know this answer and only you can find answer that you can live with safely. This is a form of abusive behavior since you are being controlled by not wanting to engage in voicing your opinion. How healthy is that for you and your family setting when your not able to talk to one another? Is that a real relationship or a facade for others to see? Seek a professional to help you sort out your wants, needs, or just to bounce it off someone who does not know you. You never know what you will find out about yourself or why you handle things the way you do. I used to be passive (blinders on and kept my mouth shut) and went with the flow. Now I am assertive and stand for what I believe in even if its a different view. Take care.
