Well not all relationships go with the same flow. In some kind of relationships there are ups and downs time to time. Sometimes it goes good. And sometimes it goes bad. And sometimes misunderstandings also bring much negativity. When that time comes how do you handle that negativity of that stage of relationship? Well for me, i was recently in such kind of situations. And i can say that i am still learning about handling things. Hopefully will do better in future. What about you? Please share.

To me it's hard because I'm the type of person who can easily be provoke. What I'm trying to say is that I only have little patients with things. But now I'm learning how to control my temper and listen to my partners explanation before everything else.

first off, i hope your girlfriend had that beauty rest and you didn't try to bug her last night when she wanted to sleep. lack of sleep sometimes make the brains go haywire or even cloud judgement... so a good sleep is verrry important if you want to avoid that kind of negativity in your relationship. that said, i'm assuming that the recent situation you mentioned was about the "invasion of privacy" thing about the ym? that was one big misunderstanding. and being in the receiving end of an accusation is not a good feeling. trust issues bring a lot of negative vibes in the relationship. whatever brought the negativity on, it is generally best not to confront it headlong. if you dive into hot water too soon, you'd get scalded and perhaps freak out. let it cool down a bit. the idea is if one of you is already hot-headed, the other must remain calm. two hot-heads would just clash and an exchange of heated words can become harsh. when you already know you are not the one in the wrong, be the voice of reason and handle the situation with great patience. if you are on the receiving end of an anger or accusation, don't be reactionary. perhaps the other person just need to vent out feelings and let off some steam. different situations call for different approaches to avoid negativity in relationships. just react positively and avoid hurting each other. since you already know the kind of words that would hurt you... never throw it back to the other person. coz that would surely hurt. in relationships, we learn as we go on. we commit mistakes and learn a lesson or two. there are couples living together for several years yet continue to clash because not everyone will be completely in sync with each other. just don't ever let the negativity consume you or the both of you. btw, thanks for the friend invite.

HMmmm. Well i can't help it but to wake her up every night. And about the YM thing, well i explained everything to her and also showed that it was not me and told her how to bring back the archive. So she was ok with it. And thanks for describing things and giving those suggestions. Well as i said i am still learning so i can commit mistakes. But i got a good mentor (though she is also hotheaded ) and she can handle things properly. I have a long way to go and learn a lot and hope she has the patience to teach me.lol Hope to see you again...

Hello darksorrow, I am glad that you are really trying to be an understandable person in a relationship. You are right that each and every relationship has its own ups and downs from time to time. Love can be very amazing part of one's life but it is not all about happiness, right? As for me, whenever I have a hard time in my relationship, I try to 'isolate' myself and think of all the things over and over again. I always try to find the answers like did I do something wrong or why thing happened like this and not like that. If I were to blame, I will try to be a better person and to say 'sorry' is not a hard word for me. But I do believe, whatever happens, there is always a good reason for that.

Hello gr8life, Thanks for sharing this with me. I have learned something valuable from you today. If something bad happens next time before talking i will also think about the matter again and again and won't be hot headed... and see what and where (if) i was wrong. Well for me every ups and downs in my relationship made me change myself. Hopefully i won't change myself completely. Thanks again gr8life.

well its quite simple for me though just dont let anger rule over your head coz it blinds you up and would lead you to that negative feeling you have this things are expected in all relationship bro and just think of whats important in your relationship and what really matters the everything will go smoothly with the relationship you have ....dont expect to much and just stay a gentleman as possible. this trials are made to define who you are when it comes to relationship remember love is for the though ones and not for the coward good luck and regards to your girl....

I disagree with you helscream. Love is for everyone. And if you love one enough then you will cross every bounderies for that person you love. It does not need one to be strong. Get out of the smoke and you will know...
