True. I agree with you. I don't even like doing all the silence stuff. My parents projected that habit onto me, and I kinda like did it to my partner too. But what's different is that, my partner and I communicates the problem because we are "both willing" to fix the problem. Unlike my parents, especially my dad, he'll ignore you till you be the one to kneel down on his feet and beg for his forgiveness. (ironically because he too should say sorry to me too.)

Thanks for the advice. I'll try my best.
