We talk things through together, trying to understand each other, and hopefully learn & mature from each new experience.
we talk it out. it also helps us to know each other deeply. and make our relationship stronger :)
If we do have any conflict, we usually talk it out rght then and
I drive him crazy by wanting to get it sorted straight away and put it to bed, it usually takes him a while to open up but he does eventually and we always apologise or say sorry as early as possible
I try to talk it out but he thinks I'm putting him down, etc. even when I'm really trying to handle it without conflict he says I'm attacking him...errr it's frustrating!
Just talk it out. As long as its not something big like one cheating on the other, just talk it out or go for a walk together and talk it out.
Talk it through
We usually talk. If I'm frustrated I usually just stop talking. But then because I can't keep things bottled up for too long I just let it all out. Once I do I feel better. Can't say the same for the one on the receiving end.
I yell, he yells, but we trying not to yell so much. We realize that it is unproductive.
We don't have fights or argue. The only fights we have are with her mom.
by holding hands
I used to just tell and argue with him. Now I'm learning conflict resolution techniques to deal with issues instead of being barbaric. It's a learning process. I don't know how to control my temper too well
Conflicts are (wo)man-made elements that are successfully resolved when both agree to resolve it. In our situation when they arise, I find a way to solve it by addressing with my wife headon. There are no secrets and all feels are shared to it is easy to talk it out
I had a very direct style when in conflict. It would not work as my wife was not used to conflict where the other person is being direct, border line aggressive. The way I (would like to) go about it now is more patient, wait till I learn what is really bothering her - think through it and then talk about it with her.
