How To Deal With Conflict In a relationship, it is important to be able to determine what types of problems you are avoiding and to deal with them, a very big part of #ConsciousCoupling. No one enjoys dealing with any type of conflict but knowing the steps of how to do so successfully lifts a lot of the angst. For starters, you need to recognize that conflict only causes frustration and anger and if you let it build and build it will explode and cause more problems. When you become frustrated there are multiple ways people tend to deal with it; some express physical or verbal outbursts, some deny the anger and let it continue to build, and those who know better learn to acknowledge the anger and work to resolve the issue.
The next step of dealing with conflict is to be a conscious couple and begin to work through the problem. This is done so by telling your partner how you feel and why you are angry without trying to hurt their feelings. You need to understand that most problems become worse when one person puts all the blame on the other. You must listen to your partner's point of view because there are two sides to every story.
It is important to remember that everything must be talked through - brushing parts of the problem off is just a way of avoiding talking about the issue and therefore you aren't truly resolving the problem.
Be prepared to forgive your partner for their mistakes and remember that they aren't completely to blame. Ignoring a problem in a relationship means that you are ignoring the signs that something isn't working and therefore you're just making the problem worse. #ConsciousCoupling implies that you and your partner remember that conflict is an inevitable and healthy part of a normal functioning relationship. |
