working hard and finding a style that can work for both of us and trying to be patient, understanding, and kind while in the heat of conflict simultaneously getting buttons pushed...and at some point aware that I haven't been close to as patient, understanding, and kind as I know I'm capable of being...she deserves my best self...um...next question
The term caveman bashing rocks comes to mind.
Communicate we talk it out and always fix it for the most part
If a problem arises we confront it right then and there, we never go to bed angry and always make sure the problem has been solved
Holding it in till I explode because he avoids conflict. So much worse in the long run.
I handle conflict by talking it out and trying my best to see all sides of the situation. I don't like to argue either I like to just work it out and fall back if necessary to keep the peace.
I beat the pussy up, up, up
Compromise
head on (I'm an Aries)
We don't ever seem to resolve anything. He says i bottle things up then explode but i dont really he just ignores me till i explode. Im a get it out while its fresh kinda girl. If we can fight it out right then and there its over but he doesn't get it and walks away n lets me fester in my anger i guess he hopes it will go away but it only gets worse!
Talk it out
Climb the tree and wait 'til it's over.
By putting myself in his shoes and respecting the fact that we are two separate people with our own mind
Not very well.... But you know that already. It's something I am constantly working on. I usually try to avoid conflict. But if I have conflict I tend to get defensive or shut down. I'm working on my communication skills.
Holding it in till i eventually explode ... and so I don't have a damn panic attack and hope it works out later and not just by avoiding it. I think we could use some counseling cause me talking is useless as far as I can tell .. Until someone else tells him something's wrong he won't do a thing
