Misunderstandings are normal. But how you clear them shapes the strength of your relationship.
Right after a fight, emotions run high. Take a break to cool down and gather your thoughts.
Use “I felt” instead of “You did”. This reduces defensiveness and helps your partner understand your side.
Wait until you're both calm and ready to listen. Avoid discussing heavy issues in a hurry.
Let your partner speak fully. Sometimes all they need is to feel heard.
Be honest. Owning up doesn’t make you weak—it shows emotional maturity.
A small hug, a soft smile, or saying “we’ll work through this” can rebuild emotional closeness.
Stick to the issue at hand. Dragging old fights only makes healing harder.
Ask: “How can we prevent this next time?” instead of proving who's right.
Even a simple “I love you” before sleeping can melt away leftover bitterness.
