arguments and resolving them

after the bf and i had a minor disagreement today, it got me thinking. i know people go on about compromise etc when you are working together blablabla.

but what it, you are coming from two completely different viewpoints, and well...there isnt really a compromise, it is just one way or the other. does someone always have to give in? and dont they feel a bit resentful and annoyed after - is it still completely solved?

 

bf is quite stubborn- and he doesnt like apologising unless he realllly thinks he has done something wrong.

i just wonder how people successfully resolve arguments i guess- when you both think you are right, i guess, do u just leave it and move on?

 

i rang my mum and said "mum, how do you and dad resolve arguments?"

she said  (and this made me laugh)

' well usually i go away and sulk, until eventually he comes in and sorts it out (ie. talk about it, etc). i said well thats just great mum! haha.

now i know where i have got my sulking tendencies from...
