Why Stonewalling is a Major Red Flag in Dating
The Situation
"He stonewalls me for days after small disagreements"
The Brutal Truth
His stonewalling after small disagreements shows he’s avoiding conflict, lacks emotional maturity, and is manipulating the situation to keep you guessing. It’s a sign he’s emotionally unavailable and unable to communicate effectively. This isn’t about resolution; it’s about control.
