Marriages and relationships fail for different reasons. I realize that is only your opinion, and I respect yours, just like I hope you respect mine...which is totally opposite of yours. I just simply could not/would not be able to maintain a relationship where my SO couldn't communicate on the same level...we just would not be compatible.
Yes, words are useless without actions, on the other hand, sometimes actions are harder for some individuals to intepret rather than words.
Rick,
gotta agree with ya on this one....at some point in time two people in a relationship do have a responsibility to each other to let the other know on what ground they stand on!!! Having a hard time tryin to figure out why great communicators think that non-communication will work in this case...I'm guessin that the great relationship opinionators may have this one wrong...
