We're Done. When Blowouts Lead to Breakups (& How to Fight Fair) - a podcast by Devi

We're all posting photos of the good times but never of the bad. Doesn't mean it ain't happening. In this episode Sid drops some big news & we also get into: 

- the deeper meaning to fighting 

- why your relationship needs arguments 

- most offensive argument problems

- both partners need emotional airtime 

- arguments cannot always default to one victim 

- what "active listening" actually is 

- why women don't leave the past in the past 

- the argument clapback 

- everyone should get a turn to be the designated calm one

- when giving them a taste of their own medicine is right 

- intention vs reception = 2 COMPLETELY different things 

- apologizing is a power move 

- the proper way to apologize (NO "sorry, but") 

- "sorry" does not buy you the chance to do it again

- the fast track to squashing an argument

- scheduling in "discussions"

- take your pick: maintaining your relationship or maintaining your ego 

- conflict resolution incompatibility is a deal breaker 

- there's only losers in a you vs me argument

- setting intentions pre-discussion (like in yoga) 

- arguing is a skill that you have to work on like reps at the gym

- residual "I hate you" post-argument feelings

- treat yourself after a blowout 

- call out your shortcomings
