Anyone can tell you that communication is the foundation of every good relationship.
But as any illiterate deaf mute, who doesn't speak sign language, will tell you it's not essential.
If, in a relationship, one or both people do not want to talk about their "feelings" it makes it harder but not impossible to tell what the other person is thinking.
You can tell what the other person is thinking by simply performing a series of experiments on them and then gage their reaction. This may cause the relationship to devolve into more of a experimenter/experimentee relationship, where the other person serves as your human lab rat. It will also probably permanently damage your relationship but apart from those side effects this method is completely safe...
Lets say for example that someone is angry with you and they won't tell you what you did to make them angry. Just wait for them to not be angryany more and then do whatever it is you think you did to make them angry again. If they get mad again then you know that makes them mad...
Also, to see how someone feels about you. You could do something nice for them. If they respond positively to it/reciprocate it, they probably think you are nice. If they do not respond at all then they are indifferent. If they respond negatively then they hate you.
Alternately if you want to know how someone feels about you you can just hack into their email account though some people consider this to be "crossing the line."
