I was just looking through a magazine and came across this article:
The Art of the Argument
Disagree without bickering, sniping, rehashing or destroying your relationship. One of the greatest threats to a satisfying relationship is our overwhelming need to be right when we disagree. This can damage or destroy relationships, especially with those closest to us. When arguing stay on the subject. It’s not necessary to resolve an argument, but that it must end i.e its important that you let it drop.
I cant do it...if i think someone is chatting nonsense then i will say so...its not about being correct neccesarily myself...respecting someones opinion is one thing...accepting someones bull is another...
If arguments were replaced with communication and education then it would be a lot more productive and it would be better for relationships.
i agree for ideologies....but not petty subjects.
my bf and I have a different opinion on a (serious) matter, and it's not possible for us to be in agreement, and we will probably never will, so i prefer to not talk bout it...cause ideology is not that important in a relationship
someone i know and who would like to steal him from me, suggested to try to solve that issue:D, just another proof that argument could destroy a couple (her hope), but i'm not that stupid...i just don't want to argue on that tpoic ...i know it's pointless
Some of the arguments might be resolved by simply dropping the subject, while others may not be. You'd have to compromise or come up with a plan to bring an end to the argument.
