If you think you’re going to get through life without any conflict, the chances are; you’re sadly mistaken. According to a recent survey conducted by a UK-based study, couples argue a whopping 2,455 times a year on average (Source)<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> If that sounds like far too much, don’t worry, disagreements are a part of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We human beings are wired to crave social unity, (we’ve got years of evolution and our ancestors to thank for that.) When that unity becomes threatened, we have one of two responses, “Flight or Fight.”<\/strong> Flight suggests we have emotions of guilt, and therefore, we get a strong desire to flee the situation immediately (even if we haven’t actually done anything wrong). On the flip side, when we are in fight mode, we perceive the other person to be guilty, either through their attack on us or the “wrong” they have done us.<\/span><\/p>\n
It can be extremely tempting to jump to the defense or attack rather than just listen with objectivity when we believe someone is behaving irrationally to us. When you feel tension brewing, you’ll likely get a pang of negative emotion with an urge for fight or flight, this is your ego kicking in. Developing sharp emotional intelligence will help you control this natural instinct.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
In the words of\u00a0<\/span>Ryan Holiday’s The Ego is The Enemy<\/a><\/strong>, when we remove our egos from the equation, we are left with what is really us. What replaces ego is rock-hard humility, compassion, and earned confidence. Real confidence that knows that it can steer a seemly negative situation into a positive one, especially when loved ones are involved.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Any arguments with your significant other can cause emotional distress and put you both on the defense. Things can quickly escalate, and what could have been a quick blip turns into days of silent treatment. It’s important to maintain emotional control because it stops unnecessary drama and relationship breakdowns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Now you might well be thinking, that’s all well and good- but my boyfriend\/ girlfriend is screaming at me! How dare they! Below we’ve outlined some points to help you master your emotions and keep things positive:<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Any argument with your romantic partner should help strengthen you as a couple.<\/strong> Your intention should be to resolve any underlying issues you might have and not just vent or hurl abuse without purpose. Venting without positive intentions usually makes the situation worse. For the circumstances to resolve constructively, both parties need to feel as though their points of view have been understood.<\/span><\/p>\n
Unfortunately, humans often jump to conclusions, and we automatically assume we are usually right, and our partners are in the wrong. Hence taking time to listen to their side of the story feels like a fruitless pursuit. Resist these ways of thinking as this will likely lead us up a dangerous road. Giving your partner the space to express themselves will ease the stress and will improve the chances of you two making up much faster.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What we don’t have we want, and what we have we don’t want.<\/strong> It’s very human of us to get complacent with our partners, who may mean that we occasionally treat them with contempt and assume it’s up to them to let things go. This is, even more, the case when we are emotional, and nobody is in the right frame of mind for effective communication. Avoid raising your voice, name-calling, and showing other behaviors you don’t want to receive, especially from a loved one.<\/p>\n
Showing that you respect and love the person even when they are unpleasant to be around in your current circumstances, demonstrates to them that you care, you appreciate their point of view and that you desire to understand them.<\/strong> Showing a willingness to understand will dissipate tension much faster and get you both on track.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If there’s a hole in your boat – patch it as soon as you see it. Delaying the fix will cause your boat to sink faster and faster until there is no saving it. Relationships are similar. You might think that by avoiding conflict, or if you and your partner never argue, then the relationship is more stable. This, sadly, isn’t entirely the case. Often, when we are dismissive about the things that upset us, those feelings fester until one day we erupt in a fury.<\/p>\n
Negative emotions compound over time and become more toxic. Tensions will snowball over time, and this will put your relationship at risk. Facing relationship disgruntlement early on before it gets toxic is much more effective (and for that matter, far less painful) than allowing it to erode a relationship over a longer period.<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stop reminding people of their failings – most people are doing their best to evolve into a better version of themselves! Bringing up past mistakes during an argument is a sure-fire way to mess with your partner’s self-esteem and cause resentment.<\/strong><\/p>\n
As if the issue at hand isn’t problematic enough, you bring up the past to equip yourself with a list of where they’ve messed up in the past. Simply NOT constructive behavior at all. A more helpful way of counteracting an attack would be to say, “I know you’ve been working on [Insert Variable], but I still feel as though [Insert Variable].<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This leads nicely to the point above, attack one issue at a time and, if you want to resolve the problem successfully, avoid using past instances to punctuate your argument.<\/strong> If you consistently refer to the past or use other unrelated issues against your significant other, the chances are that things will never get better. Instead, your main points will drown in irrelevant and unconstructive propaganda resulting in – you guessed it –\u00a0 more things to fight about!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You’ve probably heard this before but avoid using words like “always” or “never.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Why? Because these words infer an attack on the other person’s character which will mess with their self-esteem. Also because “always” and “never” are incredibly general and unhelpful words, and they include many other unrelated topics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
As mentioned above, avoid waiting to confront your partner until things escalate; at all times, try to discuss problems calmly before they can’t be ignored. It’s super helpful to plan what you’re going to say and how you’re going to tell it before there’s a shouting match (we have plenty of scripts for this on this website, you know!) That way you are less likely to become too emotional and lash out at your partner.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Even if your partner makes a mistake of epic proportions, they’re still looking to you to understand their point of view.<\/strong> Sometimes mistakes are a necessary component of our growth and cannot be avoided (within reason). If they don’t believe you are seeking to understand them, you might win the argument, but as a result, your relationship will dissolve.<\/span><\/p>\n
Stay calm and listen to your SO’s side of things, and show your partner that at the very least you are trying to understand. Why did they make this mistake? What are the underlying issues? Once you know the position your significant other is coming from, you’ll begin to understand that they didn’t do the things they did to hurt you; instead, they did the things they did because <\/span>they<\/span><\/em>\u00a0were hurting.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Judgment is so last decade- blame your ego! Guess what – you hate it when people are too quick to judge you, so offer your partner the benefit of the doubt (unless you plan to end the relationship anyway). It might be challenging to stay away from finding fault and blaming your partner, especially when the root of the problem is actually them. <\/span><\/p>\n
However, excessively reprimanding your partner will produce <\/span>additional strains on your fragile relationship and prolong the argument. We repeat, at ALL times, focus on your current problem and how you plan to resolve it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.nevertherightword.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/put-fire-out-never-right-word-scaled.jpg” admin_label=”Single Image” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ custom_css_main_element=”}||.wrapper {||position: relative;||height: 0;||\/* Formula is: (height \/ width * 100%) *\/||padding-top: calc(420 \/ 800 * 100%);||}||||.wrapper__img {||position: absolute;||top: 0;||left: 0;||max-width: 100%;||height: auto;” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider admin_label=”Divider” _builder_version=”3.21.2″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Template 4″ _builder_version=”4.9.4″ text_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”on” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sadly, no one can read your mind, not even those closest to you. Just like your SO desires understanding and connection, you need to be able to communicate your own needs and feelings. Unless a mutual exchange is made, the relationship won’t feel fulfilling, and there always be something at the back of your mind telling you something is missing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Articulating your needs and emotions helps your partner understand you better and leads to a deeper connection.<\/strong> Be mindful of how you express your feelings and how others may perceive them.\u00a0<\/span>Dr. Susan Heitler<\/a><\/strong>,<\/strong> a clinical psychologist and a book author, warns against using phrases such as “You make<\/em> me feel,<\/strong>” which can come across as an accusation, and instead oft for “I feel.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once you’ve planted a seed in someone’s head, you can apologize, but you cannot take it back. Threatening divorce or breakup during arguments will almost certainly hurt your relationship. If you have no intention of breaking up or getting a divorce, for your own sake- DO NOT mention it. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Once you’ve threatened divorce or breaking up, you’ll be forever trying to fix your partner’s insecurity because it is the ultimate abandonment. Even if mentioned in the heat of the moment, you have to be prepared for the repercussions and the fact that your significant other might have taken it seriously.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Leaving an issue unresolved much is like (as mentioned earlier) leaving a hole in a boat. Sure, everything looks fine but upon closer inspection, your ship is sinking. Unresolved feelings rarely disappear without acknowledgment and healing and this may escalate to a bigger problem that will not go away by itself. If you’re looking for advice on how to heal unresolved feelings, you might like this article from<\/strong> Our Everyday Life<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keeping a score can be highly toxic to your relationship. Competition between partners is extremely toxic and detrimental to the success of a relationship. For your own sake, forget who messed up<\/strong>, how many times, and what the consequences were. Similarly, avoid making your partner feel bad even when they are in the wrong, focus on problem-solving, growth, and intimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although your life is far from perfect, at least you have some control over it. If there are victims in this war between you and your partner, that would be your kids. The well-being and happiness of your kids should be enough motivation to put your differences aside and co-exist peacefully.<\/span><\/p>\n
One of the most damaging things you can do to a young child is to fight in front of them.<\/strong> Children feel like they have little control over their living environment, and when their parents aren’t getting on, they are quickly overwhelmed. Resist the urge to use the children as a form of leverage when you have a disagreement with your partner. Making threats or complaining and badmouthing each other to the children will cause your children emotional harm.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
In addition, children have a tendency to take responsibility for their parents’ disagreements, which can lead to unfair and incredibly unhealthy self-blaming cycles.<\/strong> Children who often see their parents fighting may have difficulties adjusting in different social circles and have trouble connecting with their peers, according to <\/span>this study<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During an argument, yelling, name-calling, and demeaning language are like adding petrol to the fire. Keep your language positive and express your concerns in a calm and respectful manner.<\/strong> When you lower the tone it’s very tempting for the other person to reciprocate. <\/span><\/p>\n
Once the issue gets resolved, there’s the memory of the pair of you behaving badly and hurling insults that are likely to stay in the back of your mind. At the risk of repeating ourselves, once something has been said, it cannot be taken back.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Healthy relationships require balance and compromise. Of course, you shouldn’t violate your boundaries or your dealbreakers, but finding a happy medium between the pair of you is the goal. Keep an open mind and be responsive to the needs of your partner, and be sure to communicate your own. In life balance is key and in most situations, there is a solution that will satisfy you both.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Although not as offensive as yelling and name-calling, withdrawing and not willing to discuss things can be just as damaging. The silent treatment is a form of manipulation and should be seen as such. Ignoring someone via silent treatment or becoming emotionally dismissive can be extremely hurtful with lasting psychological effects.<\/strong> It’s okay to withdraw if you are overwhelmed with emotions or are unsure whether you can control yourself\/ behave rationally. If this is the case, simply ask for some time out so that you can come back and discuss when you are both in a better position to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you see what we did there? Circular arguments are “always” and “never” types of arguments that stay unresolved because one of the two partners believes that that’s who they are. Unless your partner has a deep desire to change (stemming from their own wishes), raising your issues with them over and over again is a huge waste of time. So do you just put up with your partner’s bad behavior? The decision is yours and it’s completely healthy to express what’s bothering you, as long as you keep it concise and positive. The rest is in your partner’s hands.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It’s called Hangry for a reason.<\/span><\/strong> A lack of sleep and tiredness can affect our self-control; having disagreements when tired may cause us to be spiteful of act out of character. The same goes for fighting when hungry \u2014 you will feel far angrier with your partner when you are low on energy <\/span>according to this study<\/a><\/strong>. Violence and threatening behavior should not, by any means, be tolerated or excused.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Planning to have a discussion might seem extreme, but having a plan is the key to success, even when it comes to negotiating with your significant other. If you sense that there is tension, make a mental note of what you want to say and how you are going to say it. This will help you avoid saying hurtful things and ensures that you get your points across effectively.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Very often, people get caught up in their problems and forget the positives in their relationship for the sake of winning an argument or being right. The real goal is to find a successful resolution and become even closer than before. <\/strong><\/p>\n
Finding someone to blame is not the key to successful fighting, and if you extend that approach to your whole life, don’t be surprised if things don’t work out how you would have liked. If you need to lighten the mood, humor is a great way to break the tension and helps you both to stop taking things so seriously.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You don’t have to wait until breaking point to seek professional help. Working with a licensed therapist can help you see your issues from all angles, which will help you see solutions and release your negative emotions without risking your relationship.<\/p>\n
Also, even if your partner is to blame, you still can benefit from having an impartial ear to listen to your problems. The best thing is counseling is not a condition that your partner has to participate in unless they want to, which means you can go solo if you would prefer.<\/p>\n
We won’t go too deep into psychotherapy treatments within this article. Still, in a nutshell, CBT is a science-based approach that teaches you to change your thought processes to alter your feelings and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is perfect for dealing with relationship issues (and countless other issues as well!). <\/span><\/p>\n
We’ve got an excellent article that covers CBT and online relationship counseling in more detail, which you can access by\u00a0<\/span><\/em>clicking here<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/strong> To conclude, according to the CBT theory, our emotions are caused by our thoughts. Hence, if we address our thoughts, we can improve all other areas, including feelings, behavior, communication, and relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n
