Couple argument: what to do?

When you are in a couple, it can happen that you get on each other's nerves a bit (especially when you live together). Closeness, misunderstandings, frustrations, the last straw with the dirty sock and BOOM the couple's argument erupts! Take it easy, darling, it's normal to have disputes with those we love. We'll explain how to ease the atmosphere and prevent it from happening too often. 🙂

Understand where it comes from

If the ball of hair lying in the back of the bathtub can be a good trigger, this element is often just a symptom of a deeper issue. Mental load, inequalities in the couple, stress... We leave it to you to do a little introspection on your own to identify the source of the conflict.

Talk to each other, calmly

Once we have a better idea of what we blame the other for, the key is to express it in the right way. So take some time together, maybe with a glass of wine to relax, and try to explain what is wrong constructively, without attacking the other. A little tip: use a talking stick (or a breadstick if you're at a restaurant) so that each person can express themselves and be heard.

Let it settle

Once explanations are given and the situation is clarified, let things mature in your minds and work together to solve the problem. After the big discussion, you can just have quick check-ins from time to time to see if things have evolved. If it's still tense, it means you haven't talked about everything. Otherwise, great, NEXT!

Reconnecting ( but where are you, you're not there )

Remember what you love most about your partner and spend quality time together to regain your closeness. A date at a restaurant, a movie, a cheeky nap ... It's up to you. 😉
