Nikita agony auntHi anon,

You have to talk to him and ask him whats on his mind, how he's feeling. Everybody has differences. Its what makes a relationship more exciting but if these differences spill over into rows all the time then it can be a battle constantly. Say to him that you know you dont always agree on things but that it doesn't make you love him any less and that you want the relationship to work. Try and reach a compromise on situations where you know there could be a difference of opinion but most of all communicate with him calmly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

kellyO agony auntHiya,

Try talking to him. Make him realise that u didt mean to offend him but u just thought differently. Apologise if u were wrong or mistakely lashed out at him during the argument. It isnt a big deal to apologise for mistakes and your partner will respect u for it.

There are always going to be arguments or difference of opinion in any relationship. The trick is how u handle it. When u argue stick to the topic of controvesy. Try not to make it personal, or deviate from the topic, or make it an opportunity to lash out at the other person. Try to make sure it doesnt get out of hand.If it is getting heated use a very good exit strategy and end the argument amicably.

If your partner also have the habit as well to take an argument overboard sit him down as well and talk to him. Manage what u have effectively so dont u dont loose each other.

It is important sometimes to try to compromise in certain situations. Know that not every one thinks alike. Even people from the same family with same upbringing and have spent time together for years quarrel, then why cant we can expect couples just getting to know each other. Learn to say sometimes, well i would have rather done things this way but i guess we will stick to your approach this time. Try to see it as both of you are working as a team, to achieve your needs. If he knows u compromise alot next time he will want to see things your way especially if he notices u feel passionate about it.

I hope u can get things sorted out. Goodluck dear.
