How well do you manage conflict in your personal relationships? Do you think you fight fairly? Is there anything you feel you could improve about the way you resolve conflict in your relationships?

i think i do fight fairly... when it comes to my relationship.. i am not the nagger type, i am always the "giving" and i also fairly ask for my share of the relationship but not with a fight, i guess when we are indeed very emotional we tend to lose ourselves and we tend to show the worst of us, we fight, even shout and would later on realize we were wrong in doing so. i guess for me, i always try to stay calm amidst the issues, the problems, and all.

It's good that you are able to stay calm. I can most of the time, too. But there have been times, when I have yelled. I always feel bad about it afterwards.

That's funny because by now you know how my husband and I are. We snap at each other, and may get a little mad at each other but usually it doesn't last. We are the type that just blurts it out and gets it over with. I am sure we could things better, but it works for us. We never go to bed mad at each other. If we do have more than just a couple of snaps back and forth we usually end up resolving it by the end of the argument. I hate those kind of arguments. Thank goodness we only have those a few times a year.
