| conflict resolution Posted: 4/25/2009 11:42:19 AM | I'm a firm believer that the manner in which a person deals with conflict in the early-stage of a relationship (his or her approach to resolving it, or even accepting it) is a good indication of what to expect down-the-road.
Conflict and Disagreements will occur in every relationship -- how you approach them and deal with them should (at least) be commensurate to what you say you're looking for in the other person. How often do you hear/read that a person is looking for a person who is a "Good Communicator", yet they seem to have the communicative skills of an irrational two-year old?
Here's a TEST ... Early on in the relationship, inject into the conversation, a topic of controversy -- how this other person interacts with you during a disagreement is a true indication of their respect for you as a person. Try it, and post back your findings!  | |
