Peju had reached her breaking point. Sitting across from her best friend, she vented with frustration, “I was tired—and the neighbours were too! Alec always had an excuse to bring his loud friends over. It started with, ‘Babe, it’s just once a week,’ but now? I can’t even tell if this is still our apartment or a clubhouse for his friends.”

Married for five years, yet Alec still behaved like a carefree bachelor. “Who refuses to grow up at that age?” she asked, exasperated.

It’s a Tale Many Can Relate To

Peju’s story isn’t unique. Many people find themselves stuck in similar patterns—living with partners who seem unwilling to adapt or evolve, even after years together.

Interestingly, what these partners do might not even be wrong in a moral or spiritual sense. The real issue? Their actions make us uncomfortable. And that discomfort, left unaddressed, breeds resentment.

 

Why Communication Is Still the Real Key

Let’s be honest: many of us say we want communication, but what we really do is talk—we don’t listen. True communication, from the word “commune,” involves two people sharing and receiving feedback.

In relationships today, we often just “drop information” without waiting for a response. Over time, the listener becomes silent, used to being ignored. And then, when feedback is needed most, there’s nothing but silence.

The result? Tension builds. Resentment grows. Beautiful relationships suffer.

 

So, What Can You Do?

Face your fears and speak up. Don’t wait for things to explode. Express your needs—kindly and clearly. Imagine the worst outcome, prepare for it, but still say what you need to say.

Speak with love, not confrontation. Be intentional and gentle—just like you would when asking for money with a smile. Remember, your partner is more likely to respond positively when they don’t feel attacked.

And always choose to talk directly. It’s better they hear it from you than from someone else. Likewise, you deserve to understand their behavior, rather than assuming they’ve fallen out of love or found someone new.

Yes, the phrase “communication is key” may sound cliché—but in reality, it’s timeless.

 

When Talking Is Not Enough

If you’ve tried talking and still feel stuck, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. A counselor might be exactly what your relationship needs.

Till next time, stay loved, stay loving, and stay blessed.
