How do you usually settle disputes with your partner?

19 comments

1. Blindfolded with dueling pistols at ten paces

2. He’s me with a penis. We agree on everything. Except what to have for dinner. Neither of us ever know.

3. We argue, I’m wrong, she wins.

4. Sex, then compromise.

5. if things get really heated, i tell them that i’ll see them in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

   this usually resolves the issue immediately given my excellent track record in that particular court

6. Mario Kart 64 is the great decider.

7. What is the dispute about exactly?

8. The dispute usually ends when I run out of energy to argue against her and give in.

9. We don’t really have disputes, but I guess if we did we would just talk about what she wants, and then what I want and try and figure it out

10. Lifting comp

11. Most things aren’t worth arguing about. My goto is “We’ll compromise and do it your way.” However, if that happens too often, I’ll just go away.

12. I appease her in the moment, but remember things to discuss later.

13. I tuck my penis and testicles between my legs and say “is this what you want? Huh? Want to emasculate me?! Treat me like your little bitch?!”

    Then we go and get donuts

14. Oil wrestling. Everyone’s a winner 🏆

15. If it’s something big break up, medium compromise, small (eg dinner) flip a coin.

16. She wins. I’m not sure how.

17. Almost always ends in me giving him a blowjob

18. 1. Talk to her to understand her side, don’t contradict, don’t argue, don’t offer alternatives. Just listen, try and read back to her what she has communicated to you. Make sure you understand it.

    2. Tell her you’d like her to do the same thing with you tomorrow.

    3. On day 3, see if there’s a principle you can both get onboard with and go from there.

    “We do want to go on holiday together, and we shouldn’t spend beyond our means”.

19. Pick my battles and use leverage for later if needed
