Cold War is a taboo in all relationships, and in long-distance relationships, its destructive power will directly double. When couples in the same city argue and have a cold war, a hug can resolve most of the conflicts; Once a long-distance relationship starts a cold war, without offline comfort and timely ice breaking, minor conflicts will quickly ferment and estrangement will continue to deepen. Many long-distance relationships are lost in meaningless cold wars time and time again.
The harm of long-distance cold war far exceeds that of ordinary love. Online communication itself lacks emotional warmth, with cold and easily misunderstood text; During the Cold War, there was zero communication between the two sides, and suspicion was infinitely amplified, making it easy for both sides to imagine various negative images; Long term lack of contact can quickly dilute each other’s emotional dependence. Two people who were originally close gradually adapt to life without each other, and their relationship naturally comes to an end.
Through research, it has been found that if a long-distance relationship experiences a cold war for more than 24 hours, the probability of breaking up increases by 70%. Many couples compete during a cold war, waiting for the other person to bow down and admit their mistake, insisting on a winner or loser. However, long-distance relationships have an extremely low tolerance rate, and there are no offline channels to resolve the accumulation of conflicts. The more arguments accumulate, the faster the two people’s patience and love are consumed, and ultimately it is completely irreparable.
Advice for long-distance couples: When arguing, you can stay calm, but never have a cold war overnight. When emotions are high, communication can be paused to calm down, but an ice breaking time must be agreed upon; After the argument, let go of the concept of winning or losing and take the initiative to communicate the problem. Long distance relationships are never about who is more stubborn, but who knows how to cherish them better. Rejecting a vicious cold war is a compulsory course for long-term long-distance relationships.
