About This Quote

When you think of unspoken truce, it can mean different things. It can mean you feel guilty for not saying something yet you don’t want to tell your partner about it. It can also mean that you are willing to compromise on something important, like religion or politics. This quote discusses how grumpiness can become a unspoken truce.

You know that there will be no more arguing on the subject of God that you won’t say anything about it. Although, many couples do argue about religion even when they don’t want to, they are still willing to make an unspoken truce on it.
