Episode Synopsis

Stonewalling is a negative communication behavior where one partner withdraws from the conversation, shuts down emotionally, or refuses to engage. It often looks like giving the silent treatment, avoiding eye contact or physically leaving the room during an argument. While sometimes a temporary need for space is healthy, habitual stonewalling can create emotional distance, misunderstandings and frustration in relationships.
