All couples fight. Conflict is normal, and often healthy, in relationships. Let’s be honest, though: Everyone likes to win. And when you’re arguing about something important, losing feels especially hard.
But here’s the truth: Losing a fight with your partner isn’t about not getting your way. It’s when the relationship takes a back seat to the issue at hand. It’s when you stop seeing yourself as a team and start putting your own ego first.
You see your partner not as a collaborator, but as a competitor, and that is when you really lose a fight.
A real win is when both partners leave the conversation feeling more understood, not more armored, and here are some suggestions on how to get where you need to be.
