I don't advise getting involved with men who lack the ability to communicate during conflict.

Thank you so much for this amazing heart felt video ❤

When my boyfriend leaves during conflict, it makes me feel so hurt, like he doesn't care. It makes me push him away to protect myself, its a hard thing for me to control.

I have realised if its a hard thing for me to control pushing him away when I feel hurt....then of course he can equally have a hard time trying to control not leaving when he can't cope with conflict!!

Its just a matter of understanding each others feelings/needs and how we can help each other.

Every Channel has their own spin on this subject about after a fight men going silent..but your help here was so heartfelt and real. Down to the point and true to the core. I hear the Spirit coming through your advice and thank God for leading me your way tonight. We all need a good helpful word at times there is nobody to ask.

OR he could just be a selfish asshole that is wasting your time and you'll never hear from him again but doesn't have the balls or the integrity to actually end it. It all looks pretty much exactly the same and that's why dating these days is an absolute nightmare.

I would rather take a long walk and pray quietly than lash out

In a long term relationship this is the truth

Sean, this is great!

Many, like my self, never grew up with a father or a man to teach us this stuff. Thank you for stepping up. Definitely needed to hear this. Perfect timing!

I’m so happy I came across your video. This is speaking to me. Having such a hard time dealing with my man because he’s shut down on me currently and it’s been some weeks. I’m really struggling because I don’t know where to go from here. Your video definitely is helping me cope. Thank you ❤️

an explanation is right on target! Bruh I get ssooo angry when my bf shuts down! For the smallest things, even when I'm calm he still shut down. I'm about tired of it tho it's been like this for years!!! Yet he HATES when I don't answer his questions so he'll repeat over n over expecting an answer n I refuse to give him one. 😤

You just described exactly the way I feel when I shut down. I do so often. It is not safe for me to speak to my partner when there is a conflict as he always frantically escalates it so I just unplug.

I first want to say thank you because this is very helpful information. Im currently going through this situation right now, and it’s very painful to be on the receiving end of the “shut down”. My question is, though I understand giving him the space to sort through whatever he’s internally going through, but at what cost to the one who’s having to go through it? When does it become too much/too long? Wouldn’t it be better to start normalizing the concept of men being able to talk to you/get it out so the healing for BOTH can began and the relationship can be repaired sooner? Then what becomes of the woman who feels emotionally drained and/or self esteem has been butchered afterwards as a result of the freeze-out? Seems to me more damage can be potentially done.
