This strange story of a couple living in Kerala, living in Sharjah, has come out. They married each other but did not talk to each other for 10 years under one roof, so that “peace remains” and there is no divorce. This silence was not only unusual, but can also be extremely dangerous from a psychological point of view.
What did the experts warns?
Dr. Nada Omar LBSIR (Mental Pick specialist, Burjil Hospital, Abu Dhabi) says that such a long -term silence often indicates deep unresolved residence and internal conflict. It becomes “Copan Coping Mechanism” – an attempt to live together without fighting, which can lead to stress, depression, domestic violence or suicide situation.
Psychologist Srividya Srinivas (Madecare Camali Clinic, Jumera) states that such relations lack emotional exhaustion, confusion, self-realization and self-value. Symptoms such as Complex PTSD (complex mental trauma) can also be revealed from a long distance, and there may also be psychological symptoms such as tiredness, sleep etc.
In addition, when the person gets emotionally isolated and there is no support from the outside, the ‘crisis state’ (crisis agitation) may come – in which emotional control can break and occur sudden violence or dangerous action.
After all, what should you keep in mind?
Silence in such relationships can also be a kind of ‘noise’ – this silence is a sign of unsuccessful dialogue, pressure, and deep pain.
Keep an eye on symptoms – such as major changes in behavior, social isolation, enlargement of addictions, stagnation or stress in public behavior. These are all “red flags”.
Therapy can help – matrimonial therapy can prove to be helpful not only for reconciliation, but also in the direction of respectable isolation or emotional improvement.
Overall, this story reminds us that “the relationship that does not have a voice may be the fastest scream”. Silence is often a sign of pain and it can be dangerous to ignore it.
