Communication definitely is key and opens a lot of doors in your relationship some of which you never knew even existed. Remember the first time you met someone you got an attraction to and how you could talk for hours non stop? That is the bedrock of forming relationships. When you see something you don’t like, tell them. Same goes for something you like; complimenting does more than just put a smile on the face of your partner, it actually does help create a pleasant atmosphere for it to thrive on. If you feel uncomfortable about something, talk to your partner. Once whatever went wrong is properly discussed, whatever ice was freezing up the relationship immediately breaks. 

Some people don’t talk, they see something they disagree with or something that is literally wrong and keep it to themselves and then their attitude towards you changes and you’re wondering why; something a Nigerian would refer to as “carry me for mind”. 

 If by communicating your feelings to the other person they don’t take it well, then the relationship isn’t worth it after all. When you don’t talk it out, and be like: “okay, she did this, he did this... so I’m going to do this... ” without talking it out, that’s where the toxicity begins!!! 

Awkward silences, stealing weird glances, the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable and so will the relationship. I’m sure you get the idea.
