Ugh... So hard. Depends on the situation. Sometimes now just makes it worse but I know you hating waiting. And that makes it worse for you. It's one of those things that we need to and will figure out in time and make it best for the both of us. Sorry that I shut down soften and so easily.


Straight away for sure
It's horrible being angry at someone you love, plus it's so important to talk it out and resolve the issue


Depends on how I feel about it. If it's something that's upsetting to me and I know I'm gonna cry, I'd rather do it later so I can get myself together.


ASAP


preferimos resolverlo ahora


Resolve it after a while, after a short while.


I have to agree. It depends. I'm very stubborn so when I get mad I need time to cool off first. I won't keep things building up. If something bothers me I'll definitely tell you.


Now


Now
I used to avoid resolving now, but that's not healthy. I'm working on connecting during conflict and working through the issue.

I always try to resolve it asap, no matter how bad she wants to fight! I hate when she's mad at me :(


It depends on the fight. If we're really upset and things are getting overly emotional, I usually think it's best to take a break before people get irrational. But if our communication is good, I'd rather not go to sleep angry. Also, it's a huge pet peeve of mine when someone collects little things that make them angry and then wait until a fight to unload all this irrelevant crap. Please don't do that! If something is wrong or I've done something to upset you, I want to know.


Resolve it now! I hate being angry.


I would like to tackle it there and then, but I get too heated too quickly, and can't gather my thoughts, so best for me to leave for a short moment and then wrap up in that day.


Now, now till we solve


Usually now. But sometimes I'll be quiet so I can cool down so I can see if I can let it go and if not so I can be less upset when I talk about it
