It will not always be rosy, a little fighting is healthy in relationships

When I get furious, I like to bawl out, have a go at anyone within a ten-mile radius and basically see to it that my point of view has been effectively put across. My past relationships have consisted of intense fights, during which I would fly off the handle in a rage. Sometimes I am that girl who will sit, seething in rage, waiting for the guy to walk through the door so I can lash out and vent out my frustrations. I also fight to win and will not hesitate to cite numerous examples from the past to support my case. I am also the reigning champion of dramatic exits. When an argument does not go the way I had anticipated, when the man’s point of view starts to make sense and looks like he is winning, I storm out in a huff.

But unlike me, most people hate fighting. They hate conflict and avoid it at all costs. You hate it when your partner is upset and would rather keep things bottled up rather than risk an argument. Much as we would like it to be, relationships are not all Kumbaya and rainbow. You are bound to hit a rough patch at some point and the two of you would become embroiled in occasional disagreements. While a relationship should not be filled with spats and discontent, a healthy dose of disagreement is critical to keeping the relationship going.
