I'm better about realizing my way isn't always the right way, and I can usually see that whatever it is, he didn't mean to make mad. Remembering that helps a ton. Also being able to say "I'm not mad at you, but I'm super frustrated at the situation" helps to not target the person.
Often when we have a conflicting issue it leads to us explaining our reasons for why we want whatever it is. Being understanding and not having to always be the one who's right can prevent it from becoming an argument
Sometimes well and then other times not so well. Sometimes I shut down and just won't say anything because I feel like I'm not being heard or i get sick of repeating myself about the same situations. Other times I try not to say anything until I have calmed down so I won't say the wrong thing and can come into the situation with a sound mind. It has gotten a lot better though.
I talk my @$$ off until we're exhausted, we are both on the same page, or agree to disagree.
I try to talk it out, but sometimes that doesn't work so I just wait until we're both calmed down to talk.
I dont know that we've had a real serious conflict. If something troubles me I speak my piece, so I can get it out and move on. I think we resolve with respect mostly
Listen...and then talk...in that order...
WITH LOVE AN UNDERSTANDIN
Yeah what she said..... Right below me
We try to talk about the problem but sometimes I get so frustrated by constant rejection from my partner that I shut down. I think out conflicts could be better resolve if he tried to put himself in my shoes to understand where I am coming from; because he mainly just focuses on himself and how he is right all the time. Sometimes am wrong too but I try to explain my position.
We talk it out, and compromise to find a solution.
I normally shut down and keep to myself and then out of nowhere explode. Something I really need to work on.
by positioning myself in his position
I'm vocal so imma say something
Not very well. I try communication but usually get frustrated when I'm constantly shut down so I tend to shut down too
