When my wife and I were learning how to argue I would throw temper tantrums… I know really mature as an adult. Anyway, she would let me finish and then calmly ask me “Did that make you feel better?”How do you handle someone who yells, screams and stomps in a relationship?
Which of course my response was usually, “No.” Her lack of a response really pissed me off. Once I realized that I couldn’t get her to engage, I changed my tack and now we have very adult discussions.
It took her about 2 years. Changed how I dealt with conflict. Love that woman. She totally helped me grow as an adult.
