Pause in a relationship.

August 18, 2022

Some couples, when they have difficulties in communication, use a simple method: take a break. They stop communicating or leave for a while to sort out feelings or resolve internal contradictions. What happens if a couple takes a break? What problems can be solved in this way? There are three possible options: 1. Running away from the problem. 2. Manipulation. 3. Last resort to avoid devaluation, negativity or disrespect. In this way, partners give each other time to think and calm down. Of these, only the third option makes sense, and then only as a last resort.
