Conflict is normal.

Just as relationships are an inevitable part of life, conflict is too. However, keep in mind that the attitude and skills you use to communicate matter a lot. When discussing topics, having good communication, active listening skills, and using soft starts are key.

Your feelings can co-exist.
Seemingly conflicting feelings can coexist due to the complexity of human emotions.

It’s now well recognised that for we can experience a range of emotions simultaneously, even if they seem contradictory.

This can happen when different aspects of a situation elicit different emotional responses, or when past experiences, beliefs, and desires clash for us.

This is part of being human and navigating life's complexities.

Navigating conflicting emotions is far from easy in the beginning.

DBT can hellp us with this.
