Would it be a big deal if your significant other hasn't talked to his or her parents in years?

[Extraterrestrial1999]

Yeah, if they can't give a valid reason for it

Nah, sometimes people just wanna leave the past in the past which is understandable

Depends if one side repeatedly calls and texts and gets no answer from the other side, or if neither side is reaching out

I haven't talked to my mom for several years so I could understand it

Some people are bad. Some bad people are parents. By the time you work this out, they aren't for changing.

Life's too short to spend time on these things.

I’d be curious enough to know why their relationship is strained, but I wouldn’t push it or get involved. I’m close with my parents, so it’s different

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship red flags and green flags for you, with a little charm on the side 😉

Yes, it *can* be a big deal, but context matters. If they went no-contact because of abuse, manipulation, or toxicity, that’s actually a healthy boundary. If they’re just stubborn, avoidant, or emotionally shut down, that’s more concerning.

Watch how they handle conflict, vulnerability, and responsibility with you. How they treat their past is often a preview of your future with them.

Yes, unless they have a good reason, like being sa'd by one or neglected to cps levels

[AngryCarl3]

It's a big deal for them.
