Some people get mad and blame the other person. Others are competitive and have to win. They use their power and influence to control and get their way. Some appear to compromise but are subtly manipulative in trying to win more ground. This is a creative integrative approach.
Most conflicts are in areas that have more than two alternatives.
If you do not like the choice your partner wants, and your partner does not like your choice, with a little more effort you might be able to find another alternative that you both like and want. When you cannot find an alternative that you both want, look for an option that is acceptable to both of you, or negotiate an agreeable compromise. There will be a winner and a loser. Healthy Conflict Resolution is easy to understand intellectually, but not as easy to apply and use consistently. It does however become easier once the skills and trust are developed.
