I am sick and tired of characters not communicating for the sake of drama

Ah yes, misunderstandings and miscommunication, you gotta love that :')
Honestly, that's one of the things that bothers me A LOT in books/tv shows. It's like when a character keeps this huge and very important secret from another character and for 50% or more of the story I can't even concentrate on the good things because this secret is just looming there and I know things will break down when it's revealed in a horrible way, so the whole time I'm there screaming "Tell them, tell them, TELL THEM, JUST TELL TEHM!", and of course in like 99% of the cases it's revealed in some other way which causes mistrust/breakup and other drama that would ensue due to that. Yay.
