Lack of communication in relationships has unfortunately led to rise in suicide and violent incidents. This occurs when a couple fails to communicate when an issue arises., and one of them loses interest in the other but fails to communicate this fact.
For instance, one partner may loose interest in the relationship and instead of communicating, they neglect the arising issue by benefiting from perks such as dates and gifts while withholding the truth about their feelings.
While neglecting that your partner still has feelings for you, he or she remains emotionally invested until they witness you entering a new relationship, which greatly affects them.
