- SAY SORRY ASSWHOLES. A simple sincere and heartfelt apology can sometimes do wonders for a relationship, especially if your partner sees you as a person who never admits they are wrong or at fault.
- SPEAK UP. Confiding what is in your heart and in your mind can make a huge difference in promoting understanding, closeness, and intimacy.
- ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. just acknowledging it can decrease tension and conflict because it shows your partner you are at least listening to them. It also demonstrates empathy and the ability to see things from their vantage point instead of only yours. Sorry to be the bairer of bad news, but you're not always right.
- TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. Yea even if its not your fault. Give up the freaking ego and just take part of the blame. The inability to accept any responsibility is a sign of defensiveness. Accepting some of the blame is required for good communication. Ex: Yeah, i could see that we both did something wrong.
5. TAKE ACTION. I never understood why guy think sorry is enough. Im sorry? Nope! Doesn't cut it. If you continually repeat the offensive behavior. Backup words with action. Show concrete evidence that you will try to change.
