So you want to argue with ur mate? Pick one of these options...


Most couples don't want to enter into an argument of purpose, but let's face it, it is gonna happen from time to time. I will show you the 4 F's of an argument. Each of the following will show short term gain but in the long run, you both loose. Check back later for a win-win in an argument.

1). Da Fight. "Motto" The best defense is a stronger offense. They strike out by blaming, judging, criticizing and making their partner look wrong. They start to yell and express lots anger. The goal is to intimidate their partner N2 luving and supporting them. When the partner backs down, they assume they have won, but time will tell how they really lost!
2). Da Flight. Rather than argue some couples stop talking about their issues. This is a way of getting what you want by with holding your love. I like to call this one arguing in silence. Sure you quickly gain peace and harmony, but if issues are not talked about resentment starts to build. In the long run, couples loose that passionate and loving feeling that drew them together in the first place. Their coping mechanism usually involves overworking, overeating or other addictions as a way to numb their unresolved painful feelings.
3).Da Faker. These people are afraid to be honest about their feelings, so they try to make everything o.k but saying "alright-fine-whatever"! Men use these words to mean we are dealing with it alone or I will handle this. Women use these same words to mean that she is trying to avoid an argument. Either way, honesty is missing from the relationship. Not good grasshopper!
4).Da Folder. This is the simplest one. One person simply takes all the blame for what is bothering the partner. They simply try to create what looks like a supportive relationship but end up loosing themselves in the process. I heard of this couple that never argued and the guy was quoted as saying "we have a great relationship but my girl is so unhappy." The girl said she had a great relationship too, but was depressed and didn't know why? Problem you ask? They never talked about personal feelings, just gave in and to keep the peace. Not a good look pimpN.

Again, I am not giving advice on this one. I am simply making you aware of some styles that contribute to the issues. Do any of these sound familiar to you?
