Is it possible for you live without talking with your family members?

Hi sureka! Wait for a day or two, when her anger melts down, she will realise her mistake and will talk to you.

I don't think I can stand it for a long time dear. Misunderstanding between family members is normal- but without talking for a long time I guess is hard to do. I hope everything will be settled soon between you and your MIL

Right now my daughter isn't talking to me. I think she's pms'ing! There is no reason for it. I guess I have to live with it.

Living in the same house and not talking is terrible. Time will take care of that and since you are want to break the silence it will happen but slowly. My sis-in-law and her married daughter stay in the same house but they do not talk. My sis-in-law has a separate entrance to her bedroom. She goes to the kitchen when the daughter is sleeping with her children. She goes out in the evenings and does some social work. This is going on for atleast 2 years now. Both are stubborn.

It is always good to talk or communicate. Talking will help solve problems and ease tensions. When talk is not happening, tension will build and it could erupt like a volcano.

so everything is not right till now on your side. I usually don do that even if i am angry or upset with anyone still i talk to them. Your MIL is very stubborn it seems. Why don't you take the help of your husband to solve the problem.

Most family problems comes from the terrible silence between members of the same family, because the problem does not require you to silence, for everyone must communicate between each other in order to solve their problems and in order to continue together in life.

It's possible to live without talking to someone at all, but that's just insane. No man is an island, as they say, and that's true. You always need someone to talk to at least. You have to patch things up with your family so that your bond will get stronger. Every family has their trial, and this is one of them. If you figure out how you can fix this, I'm sure your relationship with your family will go nearer to being unbreakable.

hi there, it looks like your query is very timely on my part. honestly, for the past months, i am not talking to one of my family members. at first, its like a whole new world to live but as days goes by, i get used to it. and now, i am comfortable with the set-up.

No way! Life is so short that I can't live without talking to my family members or friends. But I had a few moments of not talking, very short time. After a quarrel I think the link between people becomes stronger because each becomes aware of their mistakes. So a little quarrel is fruitful.

Surekha beti Just remove this 'INLAW' from MIL; SIL see the magic, quarrel between 'saas' and 'bahu' is common not only in india but around the world.. In top families too like the Gandhi's and Neheru's

Well, I would have no problem not talking to a family member. Look, if they did something to me and never came to me to apologize, then I would have no use for them. But if you take a closer look, I would never stop talking to my immediate family like my parents or my brother.

hi surekha, We have few relatives who are like that but I don't care about it at least they will not invade our life, well about your situation is kinda hard but in time you and her will be fine you know what sometimes I told my friends that I should have a guy who is orphan so there will be no in laws happy mylotting

Hope your problem is solved now, such things between bahus and MIL is so common, the bahu forgets one day she will be a MIL and the MIL forgets one day she was a bahu.. Well i will feel sad if my family members stop talking to me, though such things never happened

I am use to living without contact with my family for very long periods of time. I sometimes get lonely but the feeling always passes. Most of my family has already passed on, I do have my children. I have one child who just moved out on her own and she is not keeping in close contact and that bothers me somebut I understand that she needs her space. I try to live and let live. Over time things and communications seem to even themselves out, I just have to be patient and wait. I hope your situation will improve too.

Well, you can live even if you don't talk to your family anymore. But look at the broadest thing you can do to your family. Even do you can live without them...it's not good to forsake them. Because you still need them when there's a time you suffer from hardship...

Hi Surekharathi staying in the same house with my relatives not talking to each other hmmm is quite hard. It will make me feel so uncomfortable. Though i don't talk much atleast greet and talk when is necessary. Thanks for the discussion.....!

I have went with not talking to family because they treat me so bad. It's not easy but I will no longer be treated that way. I am a good person who does not do anything but help everyone. So, I will not stand for it anymore. If they don't want to talk to me anymore or be in my life than so be it... That is their problem, not mine. I am done with being walked all over and put down. It is tough sometimes but it is more stressful having them in my life...

Yes it is possible for me not to talk to family members but it did not happen since I live on my own and have my own house and family (= kids). To be honest I do not understand what you mean by MIL. I think it's kind of childish if adults are not talking to eachother or family members living in the same house are not. Everybody has the right of his/her own opinon and especially family should understand and respect that. Ignoring your family because you don't like their opinion or point of view is childish behaviour. It's good to take some distance after some arguments to get some rest, make up your mind or get over some hurt feelings. BTW it's not always said that not talking is a sign of being angry. There are times to talk and times one should know when to be quit.

Often people know that you love them they just time work things. Unfortunately everyone has boundaries and may feel like they are being crossed. Give it some time and have faith. Great Topic!
