“What Does It Mean When a Woman Goes Silent? Men and women experience silence differently. When a man is silent, he is usually processing his emotions—anger, frustration, or disappointment—trying to manage them so he doesn’t hurt the woman he loves.

“Her gaze turned distant. 'Have you ever heard of the arsenic eaters?' Alex blinked, confused. 'No?' 'They would ingest a little bit of arsenic every day. It made their skin clear and their eyes bright and they felt wonderful. And all the while they were just drinking poison.'

“Energy vampires prey on others because they are in pain, and their behavior is a disguised cry for help.

While you can offer help to an energy vampire, it is ultimately their responsibility to sort our their struggles.”

“Acknowledgment remained absent long-term. She would push to the point of sickness through drinking and activities that made recovery more difficult. She would refuse to rest, often requiring extended recovery, would acknowledge the issue briefly, then forget and repeat it.”

“The thing about marriages, bad ones especially, is the utter disregard with which the couple and those around them treat the cracks when they first emerge. Like tectonic plates that crush and grind against each other under the surface of the earth, the damage does not happen on one sunny morning when the earthquake hits. When a couple splits, it is the result of an inevitable break that has been brewing for years without respite.”
