After a disagreement in a relationship, silence can stretch longer than intended, leaving both partners wondering who should make the first move. Should it be the person at fault, the more emotionally mature partner or simply whoever is ready to restore peace?
WEEKEND HOPE spoke with some individuals on the issue.
Excerpts:
There is no strict rule about who should initiate peace move first after a misunderstanding. It’s about maturity and responsibility. If you know you messed up, it’s stronger to reach out first or the person who recognises the need for reconciliation, or feels ready to communicate calmly should text first.
