Arguments Suck- Don’t Make It Worse
As if arguing isn’t hard enough, what happens when you have to do it from afar? Arguing is a natural thing and it will probably happen at least once; if not more. Here are some tips to help.
- Don’t argue via email. Emails can be saved and read over and over and over. You don’t want your words weighing your relationship down. The same thing goes for instant messages. If there is a disagreement, pick up the phone.
- However, you can resolve the conflict via email. Maybe you aren’t the type that knows how to tell your feelings and why you feel that way. Perhaps being able to write down your thoughts will help. Some people can write I felt _________ when you _____________ because___________ a lot easier than they can say it.
-Avoid going to bed angry. This holds true for any relationship, long distance or not. You can’t take for granted that you’ll just “make it up later.”
-Talk it out! It doesn’t matter if it’s hard; try. You don’t want unresolved issues floating around.
- Always remember the power of “I’m sorry” and use it when necessary.
