Face it head on. Delay and avoidance is painful.
Face it head on ready to either defeat it or die trying
I usually avoid it if it annoys me to the point where I'm just done arguing and have nothing to say anymore. But I'll talk about it for a bit at first.

I try to face it head on. Relationships are about growing with one another. Learning how to efficiently solve conflict and understand one another is a major part of maintaining a successful relationship.
Mostly head on. I'm not usually one to shy away from it. But when my emotions are tied into it sometimes I don't confront conflict right away. Mostly because I want to think about what to say and the best way to approach it
I try to avoid it
I try to avoid conflict but I have a lot of trouble hiding the things that bother me. I like to deal with problems as they arise. I have trust issues with him and I think about what he's done to me in the past every single day and it's really hard to let go and forgive him so as much as I don't want to I bring it up regularly. I guess I like to hear him say how sorry he is or that he won't ever hurt me again for reassurance ya know? otherwise it eats me up inside.
Avoid it.
Haha I'm the cause of a lot of it because of my jealousy. Plus I'm way too sarcastic and I find things that don't make sense so in return I argue
I used to avoid it but I've seen the long term damage that, that can do. Now, we talk about it and work through it. Most of the conflicts we've had have been because of misunderstanding the person. The more you talk, the more information you gather which often leads to better understanding.
I love that about us.

face it head on
I try to avoid it, but Doug won't let me. We'll talk that shit out.
Warrior punquin is avoidant in mindset, but unquestionably has the skills and experience to weather life's nastier blows.
I can totally testify that!
