3. You stonewall your S.O.
It’s emotionally exhausting to be with someone who stonewalls you after an argument.

Once you’ve calmed down, come up with a solution that makes sense to both of you. Don’t resort to the silent treatment, Fleming said.
“Too often I see couples freeze their partner out in silence for hours, even days, all because of a fight,” she said. “Slow down and figure out what happened the moment before your emotions hijacked your rational thinking.”
