Not everyone is “wired” to be able to respond to conflict when it arises
in relationships. Conflict is perfectly normal when
two people decide to make a commitment to a relationship at any stage. Even
couples that have been married 50 years have had to deal with conflict in their
marriages. But, to their credit, they were able to do so in a productive manner
and that is why they are still together.
Can you imagine for a moment if your partner simply went along with
everything and anything you wanted? After a while this would get rather boring
and mundane. Yet it is one coping mechanism people that don’t want to face
conflict use just to avoid it. They figure by remaining agreeable, even when
they disagree, it is better than getting into an argument.
