Arguing in Text Will Ruin Your Relationship

We cannot contradict the usefulness of Mobile phones today. It’s making the world a smaller place by instant messaging, easy communication in other words. But did you know that more break-ups in a relationship happened in text messaging? Yes, this is actually true and I have no doubt about it. So why is that? Let’s take for example you have a misunderstanding with your friend, girlfriend, boyfriend or whoever that person is. If you and your friend (GF, BF, etc.) are arguing with each in text, all you will feel is anger and only thinks that you are right. The bad thing is, you will no longer understands the words you read from her/him because of anger and pride. And another problem is what you have said are all documented in your texts (no taking back of words).

While using your phone you can text whatever you want. You are simply expressing all your anger through text without even thinking how will it affect to the receiver. In worst cases, break-ups, end of relationships or friends become enemies. Believe me, if you value your relationship with that person then you should stop arguing in text but rather meet him/her in person to settle down. If the fire keeps on burning within both of you, then all you will have left is dust in the end.

How to prevent this from happening? If you think that your conversation is getting bad. That’s the signal to ask him/her to meet up to talk about this. If you are the receiver, try to lessen your pride or understand the sitauation. That’s if you still want to settle your relationship with him/her. Give time to think and analyze the cause. But do you know what’s the problem when you start arguing? Backtracking History. All that did happen (your sins) before will definitely refresh. Try to avoid this as you had already move on with your past. 

Your problem today may not be related to what did happen in the past, so refrain talking back of your past problem. If one of you will speak, the other one should listen. Start your conversation by saying “I’m sorry” whoever thinks his/her fault. Saying these words will let your partner feel comfort (freedom of pain, ease of grief) and will be ready to listen to your words. Speak with all your heart, just be true to yourself and speak with truthfulness .

I am hoping that you will end your conversation with a smile. Never let your anger or pride ruin your relationship.

Quote for today: Never reply when you are angry.
