I tackle it head on like I'm sacking a quarterback. I felt like I had to beat around the bush with my ex & I hate that. I'm probably too eager to get issues of conflict into the open because I want to fix it, work on it, understand it. I'm now a fixer. I want to do things right this time.


Avoid it!


Normally face it head on. My husband would avoid and this is why we're great together. If he were a hot head too, we would be in big trouble!!


Face it head on, unresolved issues remain unresolved until they are resolved. So I like to deal w them as they come up and not let it accumulate.


i hate conflict- i avoid it if its going to be painful


Always face it head on but my boyfriend trys to avoid it at all costs


I'm head-on, he's avoident. We have to work at discussing things in a manner that makes both of us comfortable but we manage.


Head on and if I'm ignored or feel like I'm not being taken seriously I leave.


Try to avoid conflict as there are many more things more important than arguing


Definitely face it head on, especially If it's something big, it's not going to go away.. I'm not much for confrontation but like to easily work things out.


I've made a life of avoiding conflict however, my wife has taught me that sometimes you need to stand up for yourself. it's still very tough, but i'm trying to get better at that with her help.
I'm sorry i've been such a jerk this week. Thank you for being so understanding and forgiving. Thanks for getting me yogun fruz and for finding me socks and taking the old ones off when I was being a big sandy vagina. You're simply amazing. BFF . ;)

I avoid it, but there are times where that doesn't work and we have a discussion.


I look for the best time to do it, but I tend to face it head on.


AVOID


i used to avoid conflict with my past relationships but since we have been dating i have decided to face it because i believe little problems that are not solved immediately can turn into your worse nightmare.
