8 ways to handle tension after an argument.

#5 Apologize and admit where you were wrong

We all say things that we regret in the heat of the moment, and often, arguments arise because we have completely misunderstood the intensions of the other person’s actions or words. What’s more, it is very unusual that only one person is in the wrong. In fact, an argument is usually a combination of both of your wrongs or misunderstandings!

You have most likely spent the majority of the argument explaining to your partner why they are wrong, it is now important to recognize where YOU were wrong and apologize. It will often initiate the other person to do the same. You may want to save face and avoid damaging your ego, but by stepping up and apologizing, it will provide closure to the argument and will allow both of you to move on.
