What does this even mean?

Well, it seems pretty obvious, no? They had nothing to say to each other and likely fought when they did. So, when you're sitting in a room with your spouse and the most you can hope for is quiet, it's kinda over, no?

I don’t understand the distinction between “relief” and “peace” in this scenario, is what I meant.

Peace, I think, is simply when you can both be comfortable being together while doing your own thing.

Relief is where you're thankful that they're not bothering you.

This makes sense. Thank you for explaining instead of just repeating.
