Boo! 4 Scary Noises to Avoid in Your Relationship
Don’t let communication noise lead to relationship frights.
Although this is a time when we celebrate all things scary and welcome the entities that go bump in the night, there are some noises you want to avoid because they can have a scary effect on communication in your relationship. The following are four types of communication noise that can cause the wrong kind of chills in your relationship on Halloween or any other time of the year.
The Alarming Physical Noise
This is the type of noise we put up with every single day — the construction on the street, the loud music from someone’s house, the sounds of neighborhood dogs barking — and even though we may not be the cause of the noise itself, it can make interacting with our partner extremely challenging. You can’t control physical noise, however, you can prevent it from interfering with the communication with your partner by moving into another area if possible or delaying important conversations until you have a quiet space to talk to each other.
If possible, avoid having serious discussions when you and your partner are sick.
