“Better to Be Happy than to Be Right” - this is simple yet brilliant. Imo 90% of conflicts can be avoided because they are over things so trivial that it is really not worth fighting over, especially if your relationship is at stake.

A great top 10 - I can think of a couple of friends I’d like to give a copy to… Perhaps, even get made into a fridge magnet so it’s close to them always!

Problems in relationships are not good for either party. But, in some instances you can work things out. However, sometimes one party is just bound and determined to rip the other’s heart out and nothing you can do or say will change their minds.
It really is a shame as to the condition of our countries relationships have come to.

That’s a very nice tips. Regarding the mutual respect, I couldn’t agree more. Regarding this issue, I believe that total resect must be EARNED.You can’t just walk up to me and EXPECT my total respect without me even knowing you. I can also lose respect at first sight,just by actions or words. It’s not about words alone, since actions are speaking louder than words.

My simple rule is respect the people’s opininons and try to put yourself in their shoes when a conflict occurs.

Hey agentsully thanks for sharing!
Those points are really useful and they’ll be good to remember, thanks.
There’s another one that works for me. I’ve realised that most conflicts is usually about an issue or a frustration with a problem… not really with the person themself.
For me it really helps to remember in heated moments that I’m fighting against the PROBLEM, not the PERSON.

It depends how important the relationship is - sometimes its just too much fun being right. So its a question of what makes you most happy, being right or being in that relationship.

The word ‘relationship’ is dehumanising. I imagine it came from psychoanalysis. Are they your friend, husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or lover? Call a thing by its proper name, I say!
agentsully | Apr 3, 2008 | Reply
@TT - sorry about that. Writing “relationship” was easier because it encompasses every possibility.
agentsully | Apr 3, 2008 | Reply
@Leeds Physio - good point. I think being right is sometimes more important to some folks. Sometimes it can depend on the cycle we’re in at the moment. Thanks for your comment!
agentsully | Apr 3, 2008 | Reply
@Joey - that’s a helpful insight “fighting against the problem, not the person.” I’m going to keep that in my back pocket for next time I need it! thanks!
