Who Wins in Relationship Arguments?

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Have you ever been in a relationship? Then you’ve probably been in a relationship argument. It happens in the best of relationships. Which of the following strategies would you consider suitable for the de-escalation of a relationship argument?

A) Try to see things from your partner’s point of view and find a compromise.
B) Talk it through and agree to disagree – arguments can never be avoided completely.
C) Scream as loudly as possible. Whoever loses their voice first, loses the argument.
D) Get an outsider’s opinion. Ideally, let complete strangers decide „who’s right.“
