Romance -
Me Tarzan, You Jane
Do you know who is driving the car in your romantic
relationship?
Understandably, Betty is upset. It's okay to have angry and negative thoughts. However, it's best to keep the negativity to yourself and try to work out your dilemma with your partner in a positive way.
Discussing a problem helps to get your penned-up emotions out in the open . Before discussing your problem, consider the following:
Bottom line - 'think before you speak'. Once it's said, you cannot take it back.
Keep calm. Getting upset only heightens the problem.
Address only the issue at hand, not something that happened five years, weeks or days ago.
Never accuse; it will give your mate the impression that you are attacking, that you are unfair, that you're a complainer and a whiner.
Discuss using logic.
Always have a 'positive' solution to suggest.
If your problem is something that you'll remember two years from now, then it's probably worth addressing. If not, bringing it out into the open may do more harm than good.
Be willing to compromise.
Never go to bed angry.
Together, if you cannot solve your problem, seek counseling. Letting problems build is unfair to you and your partner.
