Conflicts are common in relationships. What matters most is how it’s handled.

Unhealthy communication patterns often include:
• Blaming or criticizing your partner’s character
• Becoming defensive instead of listening
• Shutting down or walking away without explanation

It’s okay to ask for space—just communicate it. Try saying, “I need a few minutes to calm down, but I want to continue this when I’m ready.”

Healthy communication isn’t about avoiding conflict—it’s about staying connected through it.
