i TRY to come up with a solution to the problem .but sometimes i over react and im working on that baby.
Lots of talking, sometimes calmly and sometimes not. We're both working on getting better about bringing things up early, and both saying what we mean and assuming that the other person is also saying what they mean.
We talk it over & work things out.
Sometimes lovingly, sometimes maddingly, but always with mutual respect for our couplehood.
I try to handle it head-on. Ignoring it does no good, it only builds feelings of inadequacy, resentment, and hurt. I don't like it when someone expects me to read their mind, so I *try* to be respectful and do the same. However, I don't like to feel like I'm the only one trying to fix things.
Talking and talking
I try really hard to "hear" what my husband is saying and not put words in his mouth. I'm learning to be patient in our conflict moments and how to talk about things as they come up...in stead of waiting days and days for when the issue explodes. I'm learning.
Talking it out and coming to an agreement. Or we can just avoid anything that'll lead to a conflict.
I usually talk to him and spill out my feelings to him
Listening and not interrupting each other.
Minimise the causes and if that fails, apologise :-)
We try to talk it out with out either if us getting upset with one another.

Try to talk it out and find a solution to the problem. Also be an active listener so we understand each side first before we find a way to solve the problem
We talk about things first and if we see that we are both bein stubborn we give each other some time to cool off. Usually our fights don't last too long.
Usually try to talk about it. I don't communicate very well but I am trying to do better.
