JAKARTA - Many couples are confused about how to manage emotions and solve problems. Finally, we both took silent action. Silence is considered more dangerous than cheating. Silence with each other can be a bad sign for the relationship. Silence can also be a weapon to punish a partner.

It may seem casual, but you should know that keeping quiet is dangerous for relationships.

Hold each other's feelings

The habit of being silent makes your partner harbor feelings. When upset, angry, there is a problem, so get used to being quiet and then just make up. Even though these unspoken problems can pile up and explode at a later date.

Holding on to your feelings makes you feel uncomfortable. You may become suspicious, underestimate, make assumptions, and think negatively.

You and your partner didn't learn to communicate well

In a healthy relationship, partners will communicate well. You and your partner realize that communication is important to resolve conflicts and both become better partners.

When you are used to being silent, you and your partner both do not develop and create problems after problems that are never resolved. The emotions that exist are not well vented and this will certainly lead to great anger in the future.

Eliminate intimacy

Silent action that is allowed to linger will eliminate the intimacy in the relationship. Maybe you and your partner are both confused, there are feelings and problems that haven't been resolved, but come back to make up as if nothing happened. This confusion ultimately makes you and your partner feel far away and can't make out anymore.

Relationships won't last long

The couple who both like to launch this silent action can be sure that the relationship will not last long. Even if it can last long, it will be far from harmonious. The reason is, communication itself is the key to a long-term relationship.
