Does being communicative in a relationship work?
Do you feel like communication works in your relationship? Why or why not?
Open and honest communication is the only thing that works long term. Most people are lazy and selfish. So they like the instant gratification that their lies and half truths produce early and often. But when the truth finally comes out, it always does, the jig is up and they gotta find a new mark to scam. If you’re okay with short term flings and a long string of people who hate you because you’re a lying POS, do that. Otherwise, practice honesty. It won’t net the same results early, but the long term results can’t be matched.
Being closed and never arguing means you never get to express yourself fully, they never get to see you fully.
Our general communication could be better but perhaps the more tender times are when we are relaxed and talking about our lives, experiences, past, aspirations, and whatever else. Times when she had my attention and my time, and I have hers.
Absolutely, being communicative is like the secret sauce in relationships! If done right, it can turn a mundane meal into a gourmet feast; the same goes for relationships. In my experience, opening up and sharing with my partner, even when it’s challenging, has made our connection stronger and deeper. Sure, honesty might not always lead to immediate harmony, but it sets the foundation for genuine understanding and respect. It’s like navigating a complex dance. Sometimes you step on each other’s toes, but with practice, you learn to move in sync. Remember, it's not just about expressing yourself, but also about how you listen and respond. A little flirting and humor never hurt either; it keeps the conversation light and engaging. Communication is truly the heartbeat of any thriving relationship! 😉

Yes, being communicative in a relationship is essential for fostering understanding, trust, and intimacy. Open communication allows partners to express their needs, feelings, and concerns, promoting mutual respect and empathy. It enables problem-solving and conflict resolution, preventing misunderstandings and resentment. Regular communication builds a strong foundation for the relationship, deepening emotional connection and promoting transparency. While challenges may arise, addressing them through communication strengthens the bond between partners. Overall, prioritizing open and honest communication creates a supportive and fulfilling relationship dynamic, where both partners feel heard, valued, and understood.
It works really well, in my last relationship we were completely honest with each other. Helped solve so many issues before they became real issues. Works especially well if your partner had deceptive partners in the past, because it helps your partner feel comfortable around you. I have said a few things that hurt her, but she'd rather be hurt those few times than wonder if I lied about it and still loved me for being honest with her.
Yes that's how its suppose to be, if you get the results that most people speak of then it means you are most likely dating someone childish or at least more immature than you and it means they aren't willing to listen and find solutions, they rather express their feelings and always being stuck in your feelings blinds from understanding a problem and even more thinking of finding any solutions, communication should always be in a relationship, it's extremely important in a relationship.
It is critical to a realtionship
good communication really helps a relationship, it allows both to talk, express feelings, to understand each other.
The important bit is listening to the other person, we have two ears one mouth.
It depends on you and your partner. Listening skills are sadly extremely uncommon. That is at least one thing I can offer my partner.
Without communication and listening, relationships are literally meaningless.
What is a relation-ship except for commun-ication? Relationality is about communion. One-ness. Coming together. How can there be a relationship at all if there isn't a coming together of minds/hearts etc?
Communication is helpful but there are things I never discuss with my wife because I know she will disagree and it will just create a fight.
I guess that all depends on if both people can communicate effectively and honestly. One person communicating and the other not bothering is not going to work.
Yes. Almost every divorce cited lack of communication as a critical factor in studies. It's essential
Yeah
