Okay. How do you handle conflict? Are you a communicator or are you a "my way or the highway" kind of guy?
I handle conflict based on my understanding of the people involved and ability to relate with them on normal ground. I am not really a public figure, so I don't do much communications.

Bwahaha... on 'highway kind of guy'. My ribs hurt for laughing loud. What is that though?

I'm sure it was effective grin
There is no way that's gona be effective, seducing a man when he's very angry is like wanting to be raped.

"It's my way or the Highway" means we do things my way or get out.

Sometimes acknowledgement and affection is all we need.






Lol. He is kidding. He's not a bad guy.




A good rule is to count to at least 3 before replying in any heated discussion. Always choose your words carefully.




Time-outs are not just for kids. It's never a good idea to confront a loved one when we are angry. We say things we don't mean and regret later when we do.
True talk, Texa. It can be very remorseful.

kennygee: The biggest problem with communication is that we don't listen to understand, we listen to reply.
Emphatic listening. . . . Stephen covey

@ the bolded

Thanks for catching that. Those who think I'm man bashing, I am not. It is a true story. The names have been changed. That's all. The mans behavior was not typical. Esther knew something was wrong. I could also give examples where Kunle was the one to defuse a situation.


Because Esther and Kunle think of the others feelings first, they are able to understand when the other has an off day. They don't think in terms of "me". They think in terms of "us".

I challenge anyone who is struggling in their relationship to start thinking of your partner first. Do at least one thing to make them happy everyday for 30 days. Watch what happens. It will surprise you.

Some may think this strategy is one sided, but somebody has to start. It won't even take the whole month before you see results from the other party.

If you start making your partner happy, they will want to do the same.
@ Op this will be hard ooo don't have a partner now so do you advice I do it for my roomate who his a guy?? Jst asking ni....

You may want to avoid the physical contact part, cheesy but the other tips are good for most communication. Isn't good communication a must in any relationship? Even those that are not romantic?

If there is no conversation there is no resolution.

Be able to admit when you are wrong, and be willing to apologize.
