Relationship conflict

All relationships have conflicts.  It’s complicated dealing with other people.  We all have our own opinions, and our own baggage, so conflicts are inevitable.

Your first conflict with a friend or partner tells you a lot about who that person is.  Some people get defensive, or angry, or make accusations.  It’s best to be patient and empathetic towards other people, but that doesn’t mean that you have to accept any unkind behavior.  You can be understanding without being verbally abused.

Sometimes the first conflict you have with someone is also the last.  If a person is unwilling to be reasonable and have a rational conversation, then there might not be any reason to continue interacting with them.  You need to look out for yourself in any relationship, and make sure that you are getting the treatment that you deserve.
