Sometimes Silence doesn't mean Rejection rather "I Am CONFIDENT He Loves Me"

I know half of you might agree and half may disagree.
It's been a common thing that "communication in every relationship means a lot"
to keep the bond stronger.
Somehow I have discovered that "silence doesn't always mean rejection or ignoring"
rather it means...CONFIDENCE.
CONFIDENT that he/she is not missing but busy with other things.
But in his/her mind, thought and every dream you know you are there with him/her always.
Anyway, I don't know much about relationship I am not an expert.
I maybe talking and writing about it every second of every minute but experience is still the best basis either for conclusion or generalization.
Maybe your thoughts on this matter will help for a better understanding guys.
I am please to hear it from you
Have a great day everyone

I think the other way, silence is the silent agreement, or agreeing silently. In many cases also, No is considered as Yes, only thing, we need to give a 'push' to make the No to Yes.
Again, it is a fact that we cannot be always be together and as it is life we may be running here and there to make the life better. Also, the moments that we really missing will be trying to 'be together' through a mental business. At many times, we may be so far way, or in a distanant place, or busy doing something or engaged with something or whatever it is, we may be in much contact with the loved one through the mental connections. Though they are far way, we feel their presence so close to us.
Even we can see some people murmers or speaks alone, and if someone notices or we ask, they may say that no.. no.. nothing... etc. In fact they were in a connecting mood with someone else who are not around. Simply say, dreaming their presence.
So, its life and we do a lots things which we can't even understand. There are something we love, though we and they hate, and we may hate while otheres seems loving. Everything is a business of our mind, which decides atctually what it is. Sometime what even we speak also may not be true, but the mind speak ourself only could be the truth...

Honestly what shall I say
Seems you know more than I thought you would write and share with us.
That is one thing I have learned about silence.
It's not mis-communication or missing the other person.
But, it's the confidence that somehow deep within his/her mind and heart there's a special room where he/she kept you- forever.

Hmmm I'm not an expert too, but I believe this is true. Specially long distance relationship as long there is a trust in a relationship they is confidence, how matter they are miles apart they are still with each other.

Journey of love between a compatible male-female couple seeks fruition at the earliest. If there is a delay from any side, it must be explained with apologies. Else, it may be just a unilateral love, going to be proved a mirage ultimately.

hello ram,
A mirage- seems so right.
But for a heart that keeps holding on,even a mirage is enough to fill its heart happiness and contentment.
To dream of it somehow breaking all the rules- is there any law does a foolish heart look up to?

I agree that sometimes silence does not always mean a rejection but sometimes it convey a reassurance. Another romantic person in the house.
Observing silence can be vital to a relationship as it gives both parties the chance to recollect things, maintain composure, have a fresh idea and also to further avoid telling bad things that may aggravate an issue.
Respecting the personal space can be one of the most important ingredient to have a successful relationship.
Also, I find it exciting decoding the things my partner is thinking or her feelings. I don't have that talent but, I dig on the clues and that make our relationship exciting. Thanks

hello mikyung,
Respecting the personal space can be one of the most important ingredient to have a successful relationship.
I agree space is the best way to show respect each others feeling.
A little space and distance give each other sometime to realize each differences and where to have a fresh start and what odd things must end.
Have a great day

It depends on when the silence comes about some people are just like that, it is difficult for them to express how they feel but you understand that they love you but if the person was not silent and after sometime then you should be scared but if you know that they are busy then don't mind

Yes, that depends on how much you know each other.

no experience is not the best for making conclusions about everybody in the world. It is only a good indicator of your own life and how it is going. Research which involves thousands of couples is the best way to make these assertions in psychology and yes I am an expert I am a psychologist.
you don't understand the full meaning of communication, communication is not only verbal which you are referring too. If a couple truly understanding each other on every level, you don't have to talk all the time.
there is nonverable communication which involves actions etc.
A husband for example who stays late after work may not have to call his wife every day and tell her he is staying late she knows and that is a good communication between them.
However, sometimes respect falls into play, some wives would like there husband to call and say don't make supper for me I ate at work, or don't cook tonight because I will be coming home too late.
That is courtesy and respect.
The same with a woman she may leave the house and not tell her husband where she is going and he knows she is okay and coming home. But again some couples might want verbal communication and for the wife to say honey I am going over to Mary's house for a couple of hours, or I am going to market and will be home soon. Again that is courtesy and respect.

silence is bad when you know you are hurting the other person by being silent. Sometimes people use that in a fight. The one person does not talk to the other one for days. This is not good communication in a marriage.
Another way silence is not good is when one person wants something but does not tell the other person what it is and then is made at that person because that person didn;t do what he or she wanted.
Imagine a women who wants her husband to put his dirty clothes in the hamper. She never tells him but she gets mad at him because he does not do it. He doesn't know why she is mad at him and asks her and she say nothing.
There is no communication in this relationship either.
On the other hand, imagine a husband that never really says I love you to his wife, but he takes her out to dinner and he buys her flowers, and expensive perfume and clothes. This woman knows she is loved she is secure and she does not have to hear the words so much.

Sure. My husband is so confident that I will always be here that he doesn't whatever the heck he wants - whether I like it or not, with or without me. I don't think he is thinking of me - only of himself. So he goes away for a few days and I get nothing but silence. No phone calls. I am supposed to be confident that he is thinking of me? I am confident he is not.

hi jaiho I know what you mean as I found my hubby and I often sat in silence watching t.v. or reading and I found in this a true comfort as we shared a companionable silence. sure communication
'in marriage is vital but also time for companionable silence
knowing we love and are loved even in this silence.I am not an
expert either but I knew we had great communication between us
'yet when we lapsed into silence together it was still love
there for each other always.It was not rejection but rather
acceptance of each others love, confident in each other
always.

dear Hatley,
I've heard from old folks that communication doesn't always need words.
They say love can be express without uttering a single word.
It can be felt, or seen by the eyes

Hmmm somehow i am finding this theory to be true..
like my husband, i am someone who always express what i feel..what is on my mind so i do tell him i love him often while he on the other hand is thrifty when it comes to this ( and also with money lol) and i barely hear him say this..not even a text from.. but there are times when i know he does love me even if he does not say it..well most of the time i know he does love me.

In every relationship there is always a lot to learn and silence in between sometimes brings sadness.
But that depends on how and what the silence really means- till then both must understand the lesson of it.

I really like the statement that you've made here. However, I don't think that this is necessarily something that is always true. For example, I think that silence is something that is very dangerous when a relationship is new because it can be a sign of the fact that the person that you are with doesn't really have anything in common with you. When it comes to an established relationship, I do believe that there are times that silence is bliss. However, you can never have total silence in a relationship because the main key to having a successful relationship is communication.

hello dorannmwin,
I agree that it depends on the situation.
Actually it's really hard to define every emotion when it comes to love (relationship)
Silence may hurt, may help or may destroy a relationship.
It is how the concern person understand or take what does the silence means on his/her relationship.
Thanks for the appreciation and thanks for your great comment here

I feel uneasy when my husband and i are silent and are just doing our own relation specially in the evening after dinner.
He is watching TV while i am on FB while we are side by side on bed. So, just to be assured that we are not at odd or just an assurance of the fire within us, i stop with the laptop and cuddle up with him.
Thus, we would watch and talk also while simply cuddled up.

And most of the time actions speaks louder than words. A person might not speak but you know that in his/her actions shows the love he/she expresses to you. But it takes a long time to discover this in a relationship. Its takes lots of trust which can only build-up through the course of time. And when that trust is overwhelming, confidence will surely let you know that even your partner is not talking back, you know that she/he loves you more than anything else in this world.

hello FT,
Action speaks louder than words- that's one of undeniable saying.
Some agree and some don't because hearing the word sometimes is sweeter than the melody of any greatest song.
Anyway, it depends on the relationship and how they know each other.
Silence or space gives each other enough time to think what they want and what they really wish their relationship must end.
thanks and have a great day

Hello my dear jai!
I believe in that saying as it applies to both of us,me and my hubby,hehe! Hubby always tells me that I should not think of bad things against him if ever he can't chat with me as scheduled. Bad things like he is doing some monkey business,you know,hehe! I'm a jealous person before but I was able to overcome it through trust and positive thinking. Hubby does it too,I told him not to think of anything if ever I wasn't able to txt him in a day,hehe! I am just lazy to txt him then,that's why,lol! This kind of thinking applies more effectively to a long distance relationship and it's a must to all relationships to work and grow.
Take care my dear friend and missing you!

If this about a lost love, I would say that it might be true. From my own experience, I've given up this love because after breaking up I never heard from him. for long months.... I lost the feeling as I started to move on. I am sure I don't want him back anymore.
Suddenly a common friend sent me their conversation. It turns out he don't know what to tell me. I guess he's scared - he knew his fault and he admitted it.
Love is what matters - but if it's all bruised I guess it's about time to take it out from what's hurting it.

Yes, once love is gone its not that easy to start all over again.
I wonder how love become sweeter the second time around..maybe- it takes immortal love to understand

Silence in love is having various meaning. It is really hard to understand it, if we are not in real love and we can know the meaning of the silence easily if our love is sincere. Some persons afraid a lot to propose their love due to rejection, but we must be bold and express our love to our beloved ones, don't worry about the result, let be confident about your love, if it is real and true, surely your beloved one will reciprocate the same to you.
True love always have its own importance and power. The person who is in the real love have the ability to understand the meaning of the silence of their beloved person. Some persons may think that this silence is a rejection, but they are wrong. It don't mean rejection, it is having a depth meaning and our beloved persons can easily understand it with their real love.
As we know Love is a part of life and have its own power. The real power of the sincere love will connect the two person who are involved in it. Eyes are the tools which express the real love, if you don't get a proper reply from your beloved person, then check their eyes, surely you will get the reply from it. In fact eyes express the real love easily than the lips.

Hi Jaiho, silence is not rejection I believe with that, based on me I'm not used to check always my love ones, calling throu cellphones or phones when I'm far away. but it didn't mean I don't care. When we're together we don't talk much but we know we care and love each other. Well, we can apply this also to our family, kids and love ones. If we trust them... Love them even were not communicating we know that care and love is there. it depends to the attitude of the person. I don't talk much but I care deep, :)

hello sunshine,

Now you give me enough reason to believe that silence is not a killer- but another sign of hope
Yes,I do agree that it depends on each individuality.
I am also the kind of person who doesn't call or contact my loved ones constantly, but it doesn't mean I never care.
Deep inside of me, they are always there and they are never forgotten a single moment in my life.
Thanks and have a great day.
