9 Harmful Ways Silent Treatment Can Damage Your Relationship

  1. Negative impact on intimacy

For partners to connect on an intimate level, they need to allow themselves to be vulnerable and to build an emotional closeness first. The absence of dialogue prevents couples from connecting on an emotional level and building an unbreakable bond based on trust, respect and understanding.

Intimacy is built through open communication, support and empathy. If these three factors are hindered by the silent treatment, then partners will not be able to create an emotional connection. This, over time, will cause an erosion of their relationship, caused by feelings of isolation and detachment.

The solution? Accept that silent treatment is not an efficient way to solve any conflict and realize its negative consequences on a couple’s dynamics.
