Have you been in a relationship where every time you have a conflict, even a small one, the other person just shuts downs and doesn’t want to talk? How do you deal with that? This video is based on a viewer question. Her situation was she had a boyfriend who didn’t talk much, especially when she wanted to talk about their relationship. When she tried to press him on it, he gets angry. His anger made her withdraw and silently deal with her pain.

I discuss in this video how the first step was to determine if her boyfriend’s lack of talking was because he was a poor communicator. I discussed ways she could help him talk more by asking opened ended questions.

I also address the possibility of him giving her the silent treatment. I discuss what that means and how do deal with people who do that.
