What is cause/effect on the lack of communication in a relationship..?

In any relationship that involves two or more people, communication is most essential in determining the success of that relationship. However, lack of communication in a relationship could contribute to some negative effects to those involved, due to several causes/effect.

The causes could be many: an inability to communicate; not being in touch with one's own feelings; feeling too vulnerable or ashamed to express one's feelings (afraid of giving another that power over them), etc. The effect is that the individuals feel distanced from and wary of each other. There's a growing lack of trust and greater resentment. Each person's self-esteem might diminish because of it. Round robin arguments may ensue. Anger, hurt and sadness all around for everyone.

    Immaturity, lack of self confidence, abuse in the past , not educated, fear of reprisal and confrontation could cause lack of communication.
    The effects are living in fear, wondering all the time what the other is thinking, self doubt, coming to conclusions that may not be true, jealousy, hurt, unhappiness, loss of self esteem, self loathing, cheating, depression and alcohol and drug use, loneliness, self abuse…..

    Could be Fear! Nerves! Shock! Or just might be the fact that when there are more than two people in a relationship…it has become a threesome and might be a bit awkward!?

    The lack of respect will always be the cause for incomunication. This leads to people who will sit on their thoughts and let things go the way they do and even after the effect has gone sometimes still keep to themselves because they don't feel there is any sense to trying to say anything.
