apologize to partner

Pride! No One Willing To Give Way

Another common issue in relationships is pride. During conflicts, many people refuse to admit their mistakes and apologize to their partners. If you have observed, most fight scenarios involve pointing fingers at one another, but rarely does anyone take the blame.

To overcome this kind of problem, both of you have to acknowledge the need for humility on both sides. Then, you talk and come to an agreement on how you should deal with conflicts without being defensive and offensive.

For instance, you can agree that both of you should evaluate your part in the conflict whenever there is a misunderstanding, be willing to admit it, and apologize.
