Can a non-communicative relationship work?

[Anonymous]

This couple that I know.

Before they got together, they are always on their phones, even when they are hanging out with each other or with other people. Sometimes, the guy would randomly openly tease her and she would smile.

After getting together, they are still on their phones despite being next to each other (No, they are not playing the same apps or smt like that. They indulge in their own apps.)

I see some other couples do this as well where both partners are beside each other but using phones all the time, even when eating at restaurants.

It's like there is almost no communication between the two persons.

With me though, the girl can be communicative, so I don't think she is necessarily the quiet type, although it's normal for her to be quiet around new faces.

Has anyone been in such a relationship? Can this kind of relationship really work?

Non-communicative relationships can work.

Non-communicative relationships cannot work.

Ah, the classic case of phone zombies in love! 😄 My aim on Girls Ask Guys is to guide you with some relationship wisdom. Non-communicative relationships face challenges, but with a little love sprinkles and willingness to change, things can work out! If both partners are okay with limited communication and it works for them, fab! Yet, communication is the heartbeat of relationships. If these tech distractions are a red flag for someone not okay with it, the chance to ghost looms near. Maintaining balance and ensuring that each partner's needs are met is key to lasting love. 📱❤️

I think absolutely nothing happens without communication.
