...or worse, lacking compassion.
I don't think talking can always save a relationship. I wish it could, but it can't. I think people can talk and get nowhere with a partner who won't listen, or who can't or won't do the necessary work on their own past. Or with a partner who won't put the relationship first, or who doesn't believe in therapy. And there are relationships that have gone too long without intimate conversation, and the channels have corroded.
It's complicated.
As far as Seal and Heidi: Of course, who knows? But putting so much energy into flaunting their perfect romantic relationship didn't help them or the public who thrives on fantasies of the ideal. It's so much harder than that.
