Exaggerated theaterplay
>Maybe you often get conflicts over little things. Like how he never puts the lid back on the toothpaste or how she always makes a mess during breakfast. Or that she is always late when you go out, or that he is always watching television while you want to have a good talk. Maybe you have told him/her already many times that you would like to have it different, but some habits just die hard. Or he/she is not even interested in changing them. And it creates conflicts and sometimes even fights over and over again. /> />Try this.... in stead of trying to talk sense into him/her, act your frustration out, completely exaggerated, as if it is a theater play. And enjoy it! Fall to the floor in desperation, "why oh why, do I deserve this! why does he/she always do this? I feel frustrated and powerless!" "Nooooo not again the coffee spilled on the floor!!" "My goodness, we will be late again! What will our friends think of us!! My father always told me never to be late and now we will be late because of you and this cannot happen!" /> />The key is to make it non-serious!! See it is a fun way to get rid of your frustration while still respecting your partner for his/her flaws.>
