How come people in relationships stop communicating with each other?

I always thought that it is important to stay on the same page in any kind of relationship, and keep th communication going. But it seems that many people make their own conclusions about partner's feelings, thoughts and ideas.How come people in relationships stop communicating with each other?
Reason being is that people come into relationships expecting, assuming, and demanding from their partners without taking the time to really know themselves as individuals first.How come people in relationships stop communicating with each other?
I think you're right. I hate to say this because it will come off as sounding sexist, but that's not my intention. But it seems as though most of the time it's women that won't sit down and talk things out. I went through four marriages, and this was the case all four times. I don't know why it is, but it seems as though all too often, women want to hold everything inside, assuming that their husbands are mind readers.Which of course they are not. From time to time they would bit*h about things, but that's not sitting down and talking. My last ex said, when she told me she wanted a divorce, and I was blindsided and told her I didn't even know anything was wrong, ';you should have known';. Should have known ? How are you supposed to know that somebody has some kind of ';perceived'; problem, if they'll never talk about it ? Why would anybody want to hold everything inside, until it's too late ? I guess I just don't get it.
Yes, too often this is a common occurance in relationships where people tend to take each other for granted and it becomes the norm of less communication. It's habitual that you stay in the relationship.


If you still want to be in the relationship you definately need to communicate and open up to each other otherwise it will be too late....
Communication is like breathing. When breathing stops suffocation is evident. Communication is the catalyst to intimacy. People stop communicating because of various ordeals. One is when a husband or wife feels their feelings are more important then their each others. In other words they have selfishly compromised their willingness to serve the other out of love. Good Luck
Sadly it happens....sometimes you get swept up in life and work too hard, work too much....forget about the things that are important and begin to take one other for granted.





Communication breakdown would have to be in my opinion, one of the biggest reasons why so many marriages fall apart and fail. When you fail to talk to one another, you lose touch of all the little things that are important, and start to become more like strangers than lovers.
this is not necessarily true, couples tend to stop communicating when they think that they already know everything about their partner which is not realistic, if you convince and understand that your partner is made of a deep personality that needs communication to be explored.
Yes you are right ,sadly most don't follow that rule and end up not even speaking at all.


Proud Brit..I don't think its to do with falling out of love but more to do with taking each other for granted , and being complacent .
This means you are growing in different ways. It is time to have a fresh date and talk to each other about it. Soul search and go back into the past and retrace the steps that got you where you are.
I think maybe sometimes they just asume everything is fine when its really not and thats when things start to mess up and by the time you know it its to late to even try

AS long as your hearts still beat as one, what's wrong with a little silience? If you really know your partners heart you don't need to talk it to death.
maybe its because they did at one point.. but one or the partner did not follow through so many times so then they give up?
When you fall out of love with someone...you don't feel like communicating with them.
