Few things feel worse than being ignored by someone you care about.
The silent treatment can feel confusing and hurtful, especially when you donât know whether someone needs space or is intentionally shutting you out.
So how can you deal with the silent treatment? Whether you are the person receiving or giving the silent treatment, there are actions you can take to start a conversation that opens the door for healthier communication.
Healthy relationships arenât about never having conflict. Theyâre about working through it with honesty, kindness, and respect.
Your mental health experiences do not make you "too much" or "hard to love."
This Mental Health Awareness Month, here are some reminders for navigating mental health in your relationship. Healthy love is possible and you deserve it!

Today is May 3. The 16th anniversary of Yeardley's death.
Yeardley Love was 22 years old when she was killed by her ex-boyfriend â just weeks before she was set to graduate from the University of Virginia.
Her mother, Sharon Love, refused to let that be the end of the story. She founded One Love Foundation so that Yeardley's name would be attached to prevention â to the young people who would learn the warning signs, recognize an unhealthy relationship, and choose a different path.
We will reach more than 300,000 young people with this work this year alone. Every one of them now has tools Yeardley never had. In her memory, we educate. In her memory, we intervene early. In her memory, we protect the futures she never got to see.
Give today in honor of Yeardley to help us reach more young people with life-saving prevention education and prevent abuse before it begins.
May 3rd is 1 week away. Here's why it matters đ
Next week will mark 16 years since losing Yeardley.
For her family, friends, teammates, and all of us at One Love, that date never passes without heartfelt reflection. It is the day we remember Yardsâthe beloved daughter, sister, teammate, and friend whose life was cut short by someone who should have protected her. It is also the day that became the reason One Love exists.
It takes a village to change social norms and we are grateful you are part of ours. đ
Something new just dropped!
We partnered with @rhoback on a limited run of One Love hoodiesâdesigned for comfort, built for impact. Every piece helps us continue our work to end relationship abuse and empower young people with the tools to build healthy relationships.

The most dangerous time in an abusive relationship is during a breakup and after you have left your partner. During this period, you partner may escalate their aggression to keep you from leaving. These are just a few precautionary steps you can take to keep yourself safe. Visit One Love's Education Center at the link in our bio to download the full Breakup Planning Guide for free!
Remember, asking for help to leave a relationship that no longer makes you happy or threatens your safety is a sign of strength, and there is no weakness in leaning on the people and resources around you. đ
No one deserves to have their boundaries disrespected.
Conversations about healthy and unhealthy relationship behaviors arenât always easyâbut theyâre necessary. When we recognize the signs, trust our instincts, and support one another, we can help create safer communities for everyone. đ
