Verbal withdrawal results in you not communicating as well as you used to. Examples are:
- You or your partner don’t want to talk about your day anymore.
- You or your partner no longer share thoughts and feelings about life and desires anymore.
- You find that you sit around the dinner table looking out the window rather than talking.
- You feel like you have nothing to talk about with each other anymore.
- You or your partner stops disclosing information for fear of ridicule, blame, or anger.
