By looking at issues from each others point of view...and then buying toys! :-D


I wish we did better in this department. Usually we get defensive and end up having an argument and saying hurtful things we don't mean to each other. And once it's said you can't unsay it.


It depended if it something that one of us is about to lose it we just walk away right then then later talk about.. But if its really nothing we always talk about right there


I lose my cool but together were really good at working our issues out. It always helps when he shows a physical gesture. I try and think of what I like him to do when I'm irritated and imply that in confronting the issue at hand. Overall when we both step back were really good at talking things out.


Control is hard!!! Anger control!!


We talk it out. Sometimes it sucks, sometime we get angry, but in the end we're better off for it.


Communicate


Not very well



I suck at handling it! I yell which isn't fair or mature


with a hug


Not well. I wish I could communicate better. He deserves that from me...
I'm not to good at it. I get mean sometimes and I hate that part of me that gets angry.

That depends I guess on what the conflict is about but most times as long as we both listen and understand each other then we can discuss and resolve whatever is bothering us but then they are days that we seem to go for the jugular and no matter what is said it brings no ease until it starts to go bad and ending it comes up which mind you neither one of us really wants but that doesn't stop us till we are ready to come to our senses


I wished my fiance would just talk about our recent argument last night. She says in the morning she will but I've heard that b4. She's said she thinks it would be better if we took a break but yet she still has me here!?!? We even had a sitter 2nite and I was offered to go with the boys but chose to wait on her to get done shopping!!! Any suggestions?

I try to talk it out but if she is being irrational, I just run away and hide until either things calm down or she realizes that I am right…
