It seemed funny that one day I would go to bed in her arms and the next not feel anything, like a switch had gone off. But no, that wasn’t honest either. This had been building for a long time. Our silences were getting longer. Our arguments more frequent. How do you stay with someone when there are no dreams to build? No purpose to accomplish? No meaning? No meaning –that was the monster that drove us away from one another in the end. Always. .Steven L. Peck
About This Quote
When you have been in a relationship for a long period of time, it can feel as if the two people involved have stopped communicating with each other. However, in reality, silence is a sign that the two people are in a good place. If they were in a bad place, they would not be able to stay silent with each other for weeks or months on end. The two people in the relationship are communicating and simply need to do so with words rather than actions. They are getting to know each other better every time they talk, and when there is nothing else to say, they will simply let words lapse.
