Butting Heads With Your Girlfriend - Solving Relationship Issues Effectively

No matter what the circumstances are, if you are currently involved with a woman, then there are going to be those moments when it feels like the two of you are butting heads with one another. That can be a little difficult to handle at times and in all reality, it is how you handle those kinds of moments that really is going to be a large indicator of whether or not you and her are going to be able to last as a couple. Since you probably DO want to be able to last with her, it's probably a good idea to find a way to handle relationship issues as effectively as possible.

Here are some tips that will help you to do that:

1. You are always going to be at odds with one another if you are trying harder to win the argument than you are trying to come to a solution.

This is where the two egos tend to come into play. If you are more concerned with being proved right every time that you and your girlfriend are at odds with one another, then you are ultimately going to end up being on the losing end because it is going to end up having a negative effect on the relationship. Sometimes, you just have to let the idea of winning the argument take a backseat to the idea of being able to work things out with one another. Don't try to keep score as far as who won what argument.

2. It's much easier to come to a solution if you are willing to hear what your girlfriend has to say to you.

In the heat of an ongoing argument with your girlfriend, you are going to tend to zone out whatever it is that she has to say and that can end up being a major problem. You can't really expect to be able to handle your relationship issues if you are not paying attention to what it is that she really has to say to you. Showing her that you can do this will not just help you get through any current issues that you might have with your girlfriend, it's also going to imply to her that you are the kind of guy that can do this in the future, which is a good thing if you want her to feel like she wants to stay with you.

3. You need to know how to get her to listen to your side of things as well.

Don't think that I am taking the stance that the woman is always right and the man is always wrong or that you have to listen to her but she doesn't have to give you the same respect. The thing is, you kind of have to develop the ability to make her hear your side of the issue if you want to be able to handle any relationship issues that you might be having with your girlfriend. This all goes back to being able to communicate clearly and that is a skill that you certainly do want to develop.
