Conflicts in Relationships
Conflict.
We all experience conflicts, arguments, or fights in our lives and in our
relationships. It is present for and affects everyone, whether they have have
platonic, intimate, close, friendly, or other types of relationships. Conflict
exists whether someone is fifteen or fifty five years of age, but what does
change are the topics causing the conflict. Conflicts
within relationships can lead to yelling, tears, hurt feelings, and
sometimes even broken things, including broken hearts. Understanding the topics
of conflict within romantic relationships is important because people sometimes
express their frustrations as a way to produce a desired change to meet their
personal needs within the relationships. My own relationships have brought this
to my attention. I have started fights because I want something to change,
because I wasn’t happy with how things were..
Disagreements and conflicts are inevitable, but vital to the evolution of any
relationship.Disagreements
will occur in any intimate relationship because it just isn’t realistic (or
possible) for two people to have the same expectations, ideas, needs, and/or
opinions all of the time. Successfully resolving these relational disagreements
is crucial for the development and continuance of all successful relationships.
It is essential to ponder the topics of argument and then conflict management
within relationships since literally everybody is involved in and needs
relationships in one way or another. If we can better recognize the topics that
create conflict within relationships, we could theoretically decrease the
amount of conflict that is present and thus increase relationship satisfaction
overall. Conflict is a “disagreement between two
interdependent people who believe that they have dissenting goals.” Conflict
plays a very significant role within romantic relationships. Not only does it
potentially affect the duration of said relationship, but also the level of
satisfaction each person has within that relationship. Relationships that are devoid
of conflict are rare, unrealistic, and highly extraordinary. Essentially,
relationships just cannot exist without some kind of conflict. The need to examine the dark side of
close relationships is more important than focusing on the positive aspects of
interpersonal relationships. There are not many things in this world that are
more communicative than emotions can be. Transition from casual dating to serious commitment is
marked by intensified emotions, increased emotional jealousy, greater
reactivity to conflict and uncertainty, and more negative appraisals of
irritations” The couples who dissolved their relationship after the
first big fight reported having been feeling chaotic or ambiguous about their
relationship as a whole. Accordingly, the partners who stayed together gained a
greater comprehension of their emotional state with regards to each other, felt
like they were well suited to problem solve together, and were assured that
both would be willing to make sacrifices for the relationship/each other.that
“most romantic couples have somewhere between 1-3 disagreements per week.After
distinguishing what types of conflict can arise, it is particularly important
to also understand that there are different levels of conflict as well. In a healthy relationship, communication is key. When you communicate effectively, you understand your partner better and make your relationship stronger. When you want to resolve the conflicts perform the various tips:-
- Set Boundaries. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect — even during an argument. If your partner curses at you, calls you names or ridicules you, tell them to stop. If they don’t, walk away and tell them that you don’t want to continue arguing right now.
- Find the Real Issue. Typically, arguments happen when one partner’s wants are not being met. Try to get to the heart of the matter. Learn to talk about the real issue so you can avoid constant fighting.
- Agree to Disagree. If you and your partner can’t resolve an issue, sometimes it’s best to drop it. You can’t agree on everything. Focus on what matters. If the issue is too important for you to drop and you can’t agree to disagree, then maybe you’re not really compatible.
- Compromise When Possible. Easy to say but hard to do, compromising is a major part of conflict resolution and any successful relationship. Find a middle ground that can allow both of you to feel satisfied with the outcome.
- Consider Everything. Is this issue really important? Does it change how the two of you feel about each other? consider your partner’s arguments. Why are they upset? What does the issue look like from their point of view? It is unusual for your partner to get this upset? Does your partner usually compromise? Are you being inconsiderate?
