The silent battle theory between couples occurs these days very often, whether it is right or wrong. It is not healthy, Period. It creates a dysfunctional environment where resentment builds up, and the emotional connection between partners diminishes. Instead of addressing the issues, couples remain silent, hoping the other person will understand their frustrations without any communication. (Imaginary deal)
However, today, and remarkably, couples tend to master this behavior. I found it extraordinary to project such a thing to someone who deserves to sit and talk. Why don’t we talk anymore? Is it because life is getting busier? Or do you think other life factors help place us away from facing our struggles? We cannot ignore the elephant in the room! Can we?
In the world of silent battles, there are two main categories. First, there's the " Vanish" type. This is when one person gets so fed up with the argument that they magically disappear. Poof! They're gone, leaving their partner wondering if they've been abducted by aliens or swallowed by a giant sofa; you tried so hard to get him/her back in, then when he/she comes back (walks like a peacock) and expect you to say sorry without getting into the topic itself.
The second kind is when the “peacock” and his/ her partner perform ( the Sailing Ships ). Both exist in the same space but are invisible to each other. You may think they are Jellyfish, but they are not. They are just two big ships sailing quietly in the middle of a dark ocean in slow motion; I believe it is dull cargo ships and there for a purpose.
But do you see how toxic this treatment is? Do you see that this battle can’t help improving a relationship? Conversations can be fun unless some creativity approaches one of them finds its path to launch the subject in peace!
You can use words to express your feelings, share your thoughts, and even crack a few jokes along the way. It's like a verbal dance party. It may end with a happy ending! Just Saying.
