Communication issues.

I wasn't open. Or they weren't open.

And open doesn't mean like sharing whatever is on your mind. Like telling her that her sister is like a tiny bit hotter. Open is like, "Hey Im upset today because of work and want to be alone for a few hours."

Those who get it become excellent partners.

I think. I dunno. My wife and I have been together for 15 years now.

That's me right now. Went through a breakup because, in hindsight, I wasn't properly communicating my needs. We still get along very well which makes me think it could have worked out.
