Six Mistakes Married Couples Make When They Argue

Published

on

Couples argue, oftentimes over things like money, chores, sex, and children. While it is inevitable to argue sometimes, here are mistakes married couples make when they argue.

Name-calling

Name-calling is disrespectful and never acceptable and generally occurs when a partner is so flooded with emotions they’re unable to control what comes out of their mouth. What they say is designed to wound the other person, but they’re the one who is actually hurting.

 Using disrespectful body language

If negative body language is present, it means the person is not in a good space to listen and it may be worth calling a timeout to go off and identify your triggers separately, and then to come back and continue discussing issues when everyone is in a better place.

Attacking Your Partner’s Character

Focusing on your partner and not the situation is called deflecting, which is an attempt to shift focus and avoid dealing with negative consequences.

Avoiding Eye Contact

Avoiding eye contact can be interpreted as disinterest, anger, or fear while maintaining a relaxed eye contact will increase interaction, intimacy, and cooperation.

Yelling

Tone is a major factor when communicating with your partner. When you speak loudly or yell, you often feel passionate about what you’re saying, yet it often doesn’t land on the other person in the way you intended.

Refusing to take responsibility

It’s important to take responsibility when you’ve played a part in any aspect of a conflict. Refusing to take responsibility can be a response to trauma, such as rejection, betrayal, blame, or abuse and you continue to see yourself as the victim in the situation
