Hey r/dating_advice!
I hope you’re all having a fantastic day. Today, I wanted to discuss a common communication problem in relationships: stonewalling. For those who may not be familiar, stonewalling is when one person in a relationship withdraws or shuts down emotionally, often during a conflict or argument. This can create feelings of frustration and isolation for both partners, and if left unaddressed, can lead to the breakdown of the relationship. M(29) and am currently trying to find a way to stop stonewalling myself as it is negatively effecting my relationships
I’ve heard that some people have managed to overcome their stonewalling tendencies and improve their relationships as a result. I’m curious to know more about the experiences of those who have successfully addressed this issue. If you’re a former stonewaller, I’d love to hear your story!
What was your personal journey like in recognizing and addressing your stonewalling tendencies?
What specific strategies or techniques did you use to stop stonewalling and improve communication with your partner?
How has overcoming stonewalling impacted your relationship(s) overall?
Do you have any advice for people currently struggling with stonewalling or those who are in a relationship with a stonewaller?
If you’re not a former stonewaller, but have been in a relationship with one or have advice to share, please feel free to contribute as well. Your experiences and insights could be incredibly valuable for others in similar situations!
Thank you in advance for sharing your stories and advice. Let’s all work together to promote healthier communication and stronger relationships! 🌟
