Major Takeaway
Arguing/fighting isn’t bad in itself; it is impossible for two people who live
together day after day to be all kisses and hugs 100% of the time anyway.
It would get tedious after a while. But fighting right is actually healthy for
the relationship; it brings problems out in the open and establishes a
channel for communication.
However, the bad variety of fighting consists of bringing up the past,
deliberately hurting the other person, or even being plain abusive.
Now that you know the common triggers for conflict, you can stay safe!!
Some of these may resonate more with you than others; it changes from
people to people.
Whatever it is, take the time out to discuss things calmly and set some
rules and boundaries; and the next time you fight, do it right!
