Been there done that, talking and communicating are everything in a relationship. Whether it's with just friends or romantic interest.

True . Talking to a brick wall , means there's no flexibility , nothing's going to improve - ever .

I found that out the hard way. After being married for 30 years, I was complacent and assumed everything was fine and that it would stay that way indefinitely. It didn't, and now I'm divorced, though it took a while to come to that.

I mean, if there ARE concerning things about the relationship and no one is talking about them, there isn’t much of a relationship. Certainly not a healthy one.
