Many of you have met this kind of problems. If you come into conflict with your boyfriend or girlfriend, what kind of way do you choose to ease off contradiction skillfully?? If I have met this problem, I always choose to escape,not because of my willing but due to I don't know which way would be better. I know the importance is to communicate,but if the guy does not cooperate at all. I know many of you have a lot of experience dealing with this. How do you solve to give both an out?? Thank you

Do we need skills to be able to solve problems with in a relationship...? for me i would not say that skills are not really required. what we need is to build a relationship with love, understanding, faithfulness, loyalty and trust. when you quarrel communication is very important. when one is angry, the other must be quiet first. otherwise when both have outbursts there would be no peace! i mean when two persons trying to get their point at the same time.. who would listen aand understand and explain later... so for me... just communication... and understanding...

Thank you for that. I should have considered it to be natural. More communication and more understanding.

Hi miweikang, The one thing tht works for me is to set it aside first. It can even mean that you two are not going to talk for a day LOL. Once you feel better and not hotheaded then you can ask your oartner to talk it over again. Identify the cause of the conflict and its effect. After that try to avoid the cause or the issues that may cause that conflict again. Of course there are times that even one single mistake and the two of you goes into conflict again. But as much as possible dont much your partner's anger with your own rage. One of you must give to the other.

I think you should keep your relationship above your self interests and you partners. It doesn't mean that you should submit to everything. Its like, you both should have a clear understanding of what's best for the relationship. This may not be always possible, as there will always be a conflict of interest on many things. Do mould yourself according to the situation in hand. Be firm when u need to, listen to your partners view, discuss pros and cons, and if other person is right then accept it.

I have found that there are some conflicts that can not be resolved no matter how hard you try. So, I've decided to allow my boyfriend to vent his frustrations at or about me, with little or no interruption from me. While he is venting, he realizes what he is saying and sometimes, not always, determines on his own his error. There have been many times where he expresses his aggravations about something I have said or done and I allow him to talk without interruption. Then, when he takes a minute, I will attempt to explain my situation. He acts like he does not accept it only to find later, possibly a day or two later, that he realizes my situation and will either apologize or say he was wrong. There is really no right or wrong way to handle relationship conflict because everyone is different. You have to determine what works best for you. Bottom line? If he/she is arguing with you, yelling, venting, etc, rather than try to correct them when they are done, look at them in the eyes and quietly say "I love you"...if you truly do. Since you were arguing, they usually do not have a response. Good luck.

If you have true love, you will discover that it's good even when it's bad. After all who else would hang in through all those tough times to help you change. You are there to help them change as well. The important thing is always leave no doubt of your unconditional love for them. No matter who wins the quarrel. There is no life without them. Communication is key in all relationships. Always be clear. Life is about learning and growing as people. Your partner is part of that. If you never quarrel, you probably have the wrong one.

If the conflict was due a certain mistake committed by any of both parties, asking for forgiveness can be part of the solution. Happy mylotting!!!

Naturally it is dependent on the problems at hand. But friend if you value your relationship the only option is to discuss and weed out the problems. Escaping or brushing down under the carpet only leads to yet a bigger burden the next time another situation comes arises.

i usually talks so much when im having conflict with my boyfriend/husband,but recently i found out that it will be much easier if il shut up and let the heat subside before i talk to him again..you know heating things up would not resolve any problem..and never talk when you're both angry coz you'll be making the best speech of your life.. just try to be rational and calm..
