Fighting doesn’t mean your relationship is going to end.
I think some of us are used to fights meaning a relationship is going to end.
That’s because we’ve ALL been in bad relationships where we didn’t feel comfortable or safe expressing our feelings.
Oh sure, it was fine to express fondness, but expressing displeasure or unhappiness could feel impossible.
A fight in a relationship is just a fight.
It happens with every couple.
If you or your partner associates fighting with a relationship ending, it’s crucial that even in anger you stop and say, “I love you, but this is hard for me.”
Coming from a place of love makes a person feel safe, and safety in a relationship is critical.
