I think neglect can do more damage to a relationship than the most vicious comments.
We all know a familial relationship who say horrendous things to each other but make up and laugh about it.
I think that relationship is stronger than the friendship that splinters when one moves away and doesn’t message any more, to instigate conversation or reply.
As physio’s may put it – is it a rupture or a tear?
