How often do you have misunderstandings? How do you deal with them? Who says SORRY first, is it always you or the one who was wrong?

misunderstandings is always there in a relationship, family, friends, kids specially if you communicate... its just how you handle it... for me I say sorry first even if i know im not the who's wrong.. i want peaceful life and dont want argument all the time.. after i say sorry and when misunderstanding subsides already thats the time i will take my partner about what happened and in a mellow way i will try to talk things over what happened... sometimes we have to learn to humble ourselves and learn to say sorry even if we know were not wrong :)

We probably have misunderstandings at least once a week. It's usually something stupid that one or the other said. I usually have to be the bigger person and make the first step to making things better. I know there in no changing that it's just the way he is!

we do have a lot of missunderstandings.. and its always the one who is wrong who says sorry..and sometime it takes a day before we realise we are wrong.. to be frank its sometimes very difficult to say who is wrong.. we both may be right in our own ways.. all we need to do is talk ... no sorry is required

We don't have to many understandings, but when we do its uaually about the stupidest things. If I go off on him about something he doesn't say anything and just lets me yell, and then everything is silent. He gives me time to cool off and then when I do feel better I tell him I'm sorry. If he yells at me I engage in the arguement, I just like to have the last word in everything. I know thats not a good thing but I think its in my genes,lol. It's from my dads side, because everybody on that side of the family has to have the last word. But when I do argue with him I am usually the one with the last word, oh yea I tend to think I'm right all the time.... well most of the time I am right. He usually says sorry when he yells at me or we both apologize to each other. In the end we end up holding each other, I know it sounds cheesy, :) lol ...... but thats what happens.

My husband and I don't have misunderstanding very often, but I will adise you to what we do when that happens. Whenever we have a misuderstanding or an argument, we try our best to not raise our voices. Whenever we have a problem we literally sit down wherever we are at( at a table of course) and we work it out through calm talk. I came from a family that yelled most of the time to get they're point across, and to make other's feel bad. I believe that nothing will be solved by getting angry, and rasing your voice. The only way you can solve a problem is sitting down and working it out, its just better that way. My husband and I have almost been married for a year in may, and we try our best to make our marriage the best it can be.

I and my husband we love each other but in a tumultuous relationship. From time to time we have strong discussions and it's very difficult for me to say sorry. It's almost him that come to me to restart the good relation. We are both very impulsive but he is not so stubborn as I am :)

Oh boy do we have misunderstandings.... My husband and I come from two different countries, from two different parts of the world, and from two completely different cultures. We really do have a lot of misunderstandings and miscommunication. Because we both recognize or communication problems, we actually seem to have an easier time of apologizing to each other, and by moving away form the misunderstanding, because we know that somethings we can just never agree on or understand. On the other hand, sometimes one little thing can turn into a huge fight because of this. I think we are just as good as apologizing, and I seriously think this is the reason, why we are still married. If one of us were awful at apologizing, I really think we would have split up a long time because of the cultural differences.
