When you stop talking or start talking past each other, things can go south fast. Silence can create a gap between partners, making it hard for either one to speak up, leading to a lack of communication (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.relationshipsnsw.org.au\/blog\/communication-issues-in-relationships\/\" target=\"_blank\">Relationships Australia<\/a>).
