A lot of people never had positive role models when it comes to sharing their feelings.

When I started dating my now wife, she would sometimes ignore me for a week if we got into a disagreement, just because she couldn't tell me what's bothering her and be real with her own emotions.

She's grown a lot since then and when there's inevitably a new argument we can resolve it very quickly now.

Communication is important, but it's something you have to learn.
