WHAT'S THE STORY?

In the past, Melania Trump has added fuel to the fire of divorce rumors by repeatedly snubbing president Donald Trump's PDA efforts. However, even when she shares positive words about her marriage, they still somehow give the impression that her relationship with her husband is on the rocks. In a resurfaced interview, Melania insisted that she and Donald never argue about anything. When the interviewer pressed on, the first lady insisted that fighting just wasn't a part of their relationship like

it was for most couples. "I tell him my way, and he accepts that. And I tell him what I think, and he's the same. He thinks what he thinks," Melania said in a clip posted by "The Trump Diaries." Basically, agreeing to disagree is the motto in the Trump household, or at least it was at the time. However, while she might've thought bragging about her argument-free relationship would've made them look good, the confession only showed more cracks in their marriage.

There are actually several healthy benefits to arguing with your partner that the Trumps could be missing out on. Many experts agree that avoiding arguments entirely can lead to bottled-up resentment in the relationship. Moreover, doing so can open the door for deeper communication and effective problem-solving. If it works out, the tension release could allow for a smoother and healthier bond. But instead of resolving any potential problems, it seems more like Melania and Donald rather sweep their issues under the rug and step over the mess. At worst, their lack of conflict may also indicate that one person gets their way in the relationship while the other constantly acquiesces. After all the times Melania's proven she wears the pants in the marriage, it seems she really is the one who calls all the shots.

In light of Melania Trump's video confession, a lot of Trump critics think they've discovered the secret behind her and president Donald Trump's peaceful relationship. A Trump insider once dropped a bombshell claim that Melania and Donald are separated. That hadn't been proven to be the case, but their living arrangements definitely led to speculation about whether or not they were technically together. Melania shared that she'd be spending a lot less time at the White House during Donald's second term as president. Moreover, she was noticeably absent for quite some time during several events her husband attended, which only added to the concern that their relationship was in a bad place.

So, Melania and Donald never fighting made sense to a lot of their critics, who felt the White House couple didn't see each other enough to argue in the first place. "Of course they don't argue/fight. They don't even live in the same state. There! No problem," one social media user posted on Facebook. Another user quipped that they didn't argue because they hardly talked to each other. "Right no fights due to no connection no conversation no nothing. I believe that," they wrote. Although the comments were mostly jokes, Melania's interview didn't help her relationship seem anymore authentic to her naysayers. If anything, it might've exposed that the real key to their harmonious marriage was talking to each other as little as possible. Unfortunately, however, that might be a bit of an open secret.
