How do you handle disagreements or conflicts in a relationship?

Ah man, relationship fights can be tough. For example with my girl, I try to stay calm and remember it's me and her against the problem, not each other.

If we start arguing, I'll take a breather first so I can listen without getting defensive. Let her vent how she feels without interrupting. Even if I don't agree, I make sure she knows I'm hearing her out.

Once we've both cooled off, that's when we can talk it through. I'll say what's on my mind too, but focus on "I feel" statements instead of accusations so she doesn't clam up.

Compromise is key. We try to find the middle ground even if it's not exactly what either of us wanted. And apologizing when you're in the wrong goes a long way.

If things get heated, a timeout might help so tensions don't boil over. Then we come back to it later when our heads are clearer.

Communicating and being respectful is important to work through conflicts together instead of butting heads. Fights are inevitable sometimes, but how you handle them is what really matters in the end.

I talk less and don't create an argument out of a difference in opinion. I hate conflicts and arguments.

They happen...

If I can't do anything about the disagreement itself I try to learn from it. So a calm conversation after with a focus on understanding what we both felt and why. And then gathering the ideas how yo not make the same disagreement in the future.

Communication is the key.

Know my boundaries. I do everything I can to resolve the issue. But as I said I know my boundaries. If It crosses that line I cut it off like a gangrenous limb and never look back.👍

Talk them out in a calm, mature manner.
