It may seem a bit harsh at first glance, but ultmately this is pretty standard relationship advice... advice I wholeheartedly agree with.
I've read a lot of relationship books over the years, and they all basically say the same thing with regards to stonewalling. If you can't get past it even with a serious effort, it's a strong sign that the relationship is already dead... or perhaps it was never alive to begin with.
How can you claim to care about someone if you refuse to let them communicate what's important to them? If you decline to relate, you decline the relationship.
