Not only heterosexual men sometimes react annoyed when this sentence hits them. Who wants to talk about a relationship that works "on the whole"?
But: sooner or later, no one can avoid relationship analyses. All the better! After all, researchers have found out, among other things, that it is important, even at the risk of quarrels and discussions, not to let the thread of discussion break.
Of course, it is particularly important here to talk "properly" to each other. In fact, no one wants to be confronted with a wall of accusations. Accordingly, talking to each other should always be characterized by positive emotions - or at least contain them.
The clash of different characters
Everyday life in relationships shows: some people love to review the day, exchange information about current events and/or let the other person know which idiosyncrasies are considered annoying.
Others find conversations of this nature a burden. Their "Nothing." to a "What's wrong? Do you have something?" is sometimes really serious.
In order to avoid disputes with such different characters, it is not only important to accept the other person as he is, but at the same time to learn to "read" him a little. Perhaps he is one of those people who show their feelings more through gestures?
Particularly in long-term relationships, it is shown again and again that it is easier to accept the partner as he or she is - without wanting to change him or her in terms of his or her willingness to communicate.
Arguing and reconciling can contribute to overall harmony
Especially for those newly in love, a quarrel often means the proverbial "end of the world". But: an (otherwise healthy) relationship cannot and should not be destroyed by a simple quarrel.
All the nicer when at some point it is recognized that discussions are even capable of strengthening an existing partnership. Of course, this only applies if a few "basic rules" of arguing are observed.
Despite contrary opinions, it should of course never be the goal of either party to hurt the other. Anyone who keeps this in mind will comparatively quickly experience that they are taken seriously by their counterpart even during a disagreement.
And what could be more beautiful than a passionate reconciliation, after both have realized that it is much more fun to remember how much you have in each other?
