How to Make Up After a Serious Fight with Your Partner: Psychological Techniques
Quarrels between partners are inevitable in any relationship.
When emotions run high, it's easy to say or do things you later regret. But no matter how hard it is, there's always a chance to fix it.
After a serious argument, both parties are usually left feeling hurt and angry.
To begin the reconciliation process, you need to give each other time to calm down.
Don't make any hasty decisions or abrupt statements about breaking up until the emotions have subsided.
When you are ready to talk, it is better to meet in person.
Apologize for any words or actions you said that may have offended or hurt your partner.
Explain your point of view and listen to the other side. Try to understand the reasons for the quarrel in order to avoid a repeat in the future.
Don't try to blame each other or start the argument all over again. Focus on finding a compromise and solving the problem that led to the conflict.
You may have to make concessions to save the relationship. The main thing is to show respect and a desire to hear your partner.
If the reason for the quarrel lies in differences in character or views, this is not a reason to break up. You can find a way to accept and respect each other's differences.
Focus on your partner's positive qualities and remind yourself why you are together.
After the conversation, give each other some time and space to think things over. But don’t distance yourself for too long, or you risk the hurt getting worse. After some time, contact each other and discuss how you feel now.
Rebuilding trust and intimacy after a fight will take patience and time. But here are some tips to help you in the process:
- Spend more time together. Start with simple, enjoyable activities together: go to the movies, go for a walk, cook dinner. Gradually, you will begin to feel more comfortable with each other.
- Express affection physically: hug, kiss, hold hands. Touching enhances the feeling of closeness and trust.
- Discuss openly what is happening in the relationship, share your experiences. Honesty and sincerity are extremely important.
- Focus on each other's positive qualities. Give compliments, thank each other for their care and attention.
Over time, the pain will subside and the relationship will be restored.
The main thing is to show patience, kindness and the desire to understand each other. Then you can survive any quarrel and become even closer.
