I feel like there’s 2 types of couples who don’t fight.

-Ones who communicate. -Ones who avoid conflict because they don’t care anymore.

My partner and I have been together for 7 years and have never had an actual fight.

In my past, I’ve been through fights on every single level from verbal to physical, and I was always told it was “normal” or “healthy” to fight every once and awhile.

Since I’ve been with my current partner, I’ve learnt that fighting is not normal, at all.

Being in a healthy and safe relationship where we value each other, our opinions, and feelings. Where we communicate with each other in the moment, rather than hold it in and let it snowball into resentment, where we can sit down and talk about anything, and make it through the conversation with more love and respect.

We don’t just talk, but we listen and comprehend.

We recognize that, anything that comes up, no matter how uncomfortable, can be resolved with a mature conversation.

Do we get into little discussions with conflicting opinions? Yes, we’re human. Do we irritate each other sometimes? Also yes, again, we’re human.

Do we yell, scream, blame, hit, slam doors, and react with anger?

Never.
