I try to discuss it then, but steer away from an argument


I usually make jokes about it till it goes away


Really depends on the situation. I used to completely blow up and yell, but now I've taken to taking to calmly talking it out.


I try to actively fight against the urge to have an answer for everything but open communication is very important in our relationship. Sometimes its just knowing what they are thinking that explains what they say or do so its very important that I try to make it easy on her to let me know what she is feeling.


I tend to let things build up until they explode, and then I scream and cry and get very angry. And since i always seem to end up with conflict-avoidant partners, that makes thing tough because he would rather that we never discuss hard or painful things. Been trying to change my response to be calmer & less volatile.


we never fight c;


Open communication


We try to keep our conversation logical and non-cutting. I can't remember a time where there was ever name calling or pointless hurtful comments made during an argument. When there is conflict, I think we fall back to the foundation of our relationship. It's based on love and true concern for each other.


What I think I do may not always be what she thinks I do. I think for the most part we do get through talking. It just takes us a couple sessions of saying things over and over a few different ways before we understand. We actually don't yell, name call, or fight but do get frustrated at not being understood. I'm really proud that we can actually talk.


Talk it out! Calmly and adultly, if at all possible. :)
