Love means having to say you're sorry, over and over again. Here's how to do it differently - and better. We all sure know how to get into fights with our men, but how do we get out of them without letting ill will fester and without swallowing our pride? Here are some funky ideas that you could try to end standoffs with your significant other: Plan a post-fight 'makeup date' at a restaurant or park. Forgiving happens faster when you leave the scene of the fight, but if you're still upset when you're on the date, you can't yell at each other because you're in a public place. The quickest way to end a fight is to admit you are wrong the instant you realize you are wrong. Arguments often last forever simply because people are too proud to acknowledge their mistakes. They say you should never go to bed mad, but sometimes you can talk better in the morning after you've had some time to sleep on things. Why force yourself to stay up and resolve something when you're tired and cranky anyway? Sneak up behind him while he's doing something, wrap your arms around him, and give him a sincere apology. Break the stalemate by saying, 'Are you sorry yet?' It could crack you up, and then you can relax and talk things out more reasonably. Once a fight is in the past, never bring it up again or refer to it during your next fight. This keeps your fight from getting too vindictive and keeps your relationship moving forward. Write an affectionate apology to him on the bathroom mirror in lipstick. He could think it's endearing, and it will put him in a playful mood.
Try any of these ideas… or be original and find some of your own… either way, get the fight out of the way and get on with your relationship.
