From The Silent Killer of Relationships by Crystal Jackson
That kind of quiet breaks down relationships. My ex didn’t have to worry about me leaving when we were in the middle of a heated exchange. He should have worried when I fell silent and stopped talking about it. When I got to that point, I was so far beyond finding a way to fix what was broken because I had already assessed the damage and decided it was irreparable. I left amid the silence, not the fighting.
