Summarize the following:
After a disagreement, try to end things on a positive note. State the things you appreciate about your boyfriend so you both leave feeling valued. End things by saying something like, "Thank you for listening. I really love you and love spending time with you, which is why I brought it up. I don't want anything to cause resentment." It's normal to feel awkward or uncomfortable after a disagreement. It is not possible to feel comfortable, happy, and resentment free all the time. Allow yourself to feel what you're feeling, even if it's negative, after a disagreement. It's healthier to process your emotions than push them down and ignore them. Even if you feel good about the discussion, you may still need time to let go of any angry feelings you had during your argument. You and your boyfriend can resolve disputes by identifying your goals for the relationship. What do you both want and how can you pursue that? Think about what you both want. You should find goals you both share. For example, you both may want to work on valuing one another more. Consider how to achieve this. You could, for example, spend more time together, turn your phones off during dates, and find other ways to make one another feel valued. It can feel rough and uncomfortable to have a dispute. However, look at the bright side. You have taken the initiative to work things out. You have both expressed yourselves and your opinions. While things may be stressful now, your relationship may be stronger in the future.
State the positives about your relationship. Accept things may be uncomfortable feelings at first. Find common goals. Proceed with optimism.
