Being in any type of relationship (be it with family, friends or a partner) one will definitely have conflicts with one another. One says something and it rubs/irks the other the wrong way and a button is pushed. This triggers emotional feelings, feelings of anger, saddness, frustration etc.
You can either consume it all and bottle it all up, only for it to explode one day or you can resolve conflict on a regular basis, right there and then when its all fresh in your mind and the feelings are raw.
In the past, I would do the former. It seldom explodes cos I will just forget it or sleep over it but nowadays, the latter is a better practice. You have to resolve conflict. not only for your own good, but for the other. Its always hard to swallow one's pride. Hard to accept apologies even. Often times, it means being humble, forgiving the other person and even saying sorry when you think you are right and haven done anything wrong.
But at the end of the day, its so much better when all is well. when we resolve conflicts. ya. =)
So, be sure to do it regardless of it being hard
