Is it possible to live with your partner without communicating?

Because it’s not worth talking to him about anything. There is nothing there.

There are people that have lived together without talking much.

Yet talking isn't the only way to communicate with your partner.

Some have lived so long together that body language is their method of communication.

Think about how any pet communicates. It's mostly body language. I bet, if you have a pet, you know when it's afraid. And just how afraid it is.
@DeWayfarer I think that if she clarifies she is talking about a negative situation.

@PoetryNEmotion yes, yet often they already know what the reason is.

They should leave in that case. I know my mother was a talker. Dad didn't want to deal with it.

So mom divorced him.

Both made assumptions of the other. It's ironic though they always lived within a few miles of the other.

I took care of both until they passed away. They were as different as night and day.
@DeWayfarer Sometimes opposites are not good for one another. I find that mostly people partner with those who have the qualities the other wishes one had. So a quiet person finds an outgoing person. Sometimes they cannot adjust. It is just the way relationships go. You try. You either like or do not like. Cripes. I am still dating. If I find suitable ones. Have a good weekend. I am on nights.

@PoetryNEmotion I agree with you. I am a quiet person and my husband is very talkative. I think you're correct when you say that sometimes opposites are not good for one another. I married at 19 and 37 yrs.later we're still married but I'm not so sure that we were ever compatible. I don't know 😕
@DemureDeb Many people get together when young. Over the years people change. They fo not always grow together. It is not unusual. How msny prople who have been together ten years or twenty or thirty actually love one another? Few I will bet. Many stay together because of the length of years in the same dpace. I ask you is this kind of unhappy, unsatisfying union healthy? Is it toxic? It is the devil you know. I divorced him after 3 decades. So happy now. No more toxicity. No more each day in hell. No more crying myself to sleep on the edge of the bed. He is still s mess and toxic only with domeone else. I am singlr. Still searching for a partner. But happy. No fear of anger. No uncertainty. Happy. I deserve real lasting love. Respect. So do you.
