If during an argument with your partner you criticize his/her character, shift blame, resort to insults, or simply walk away and ignore your boyfriend/girlfriend, nothing good will come of it.

According to psychologist John Gottman, such behavior is a sign that the relationship will soon end.

Don't want to bring the breakup closer? Then there's nothing left to do but learn how to quarrel correctly.

To do this, you just need to follow four simple rules that we have collected in this article.

1. During a conflict, try not to remember the quarrels you had in the past. This way you will not be able to solve the problem, but, on the contrary, you will worsen the current situation.

2. If the argument gets too heated, stop. Go outside and take a short walk. Return to the conversation when you have cooled down.

3. It is important to remember that being right in an argument is not as important as feeling respected and listened to.

4. Lastly, don't try to avoid arguments. Instead, vent to your significant other and share your feelings and problems.
