Avoid. Trying to learn to face it. Fortunately my partner is definitely from the "face it" school of thought. :)
Him: If I have an issue with her I let her know....If she has an issue with me...I am ok with sitting down and hearing her out.
Her: I may wait for a time for when he is receptive before I tell him my concerns however there have been times that I wait too long and blow up....not good!

I face it head on, regardless what the problem is i do not quit until I get answers. If i didn't care of my relationship and to make it better, I would have just ignored it and let myself be treated wrongfully and a fool. I deserve to be told the truth, be treated with full respect and not be mistreated as if i was not important enough to not solve a problem, where two adults can solve an issue to make a relationship stronger
I face it head on
I usually avoid it, but I have seen how damaging that can be. Now I'm trying to face it head on and look for solutions.
Conflict should be faced head on but with a quiet and gentle spirit, with the capacity to listen; not just hear. And the willingness to communicate in a way that does not blame or degrade the other. Use conflict that arises as an instrument to learn to Love your wife more and allow her to learn how to Love you.
I prefer to avoid it. But, if necessary, I generally do more listening than talking or defending.
I like to just get stuff sorted out so we can all move on and not waste time - so head on for sure.
Depends on the subject at hand.
I try to avoid conflict at all costs but it always has a way of finding me. Once I'm pushed to the edge i retaliate and it isnt pretty.
If its family we talk out conflict same with my bf but if it's a stranger I avoid it
Face it head on
Wish that I could avoid conflicts... I'm definitely a face-it-ahead kind of person
Head on. For everything. We talk it through, sometimes I yell, but there's nothing we won't discuss.
avoid it like the plague - which is one of the many reasons I married my spouse. she faces it head on like a linebacker.
