Dear Unwanted Advice Columnist,
My partner and I keep having the same argument over and over again. How do I break the cycle and get us to stop fighting?
Sincerely,
Argument Addict
Dear Argument Addict,
You’re asking the wrong person. I suggest you try communication, but I mean real communication, not just saying “I feel like you don’t listen to me.” But let’s be honest, you both like the drama, don’t you? Maybe take a break from each other and start an argument with a stranger. That way, you’re not just stuck in an endless loop of bickering. Or, just compromise on everything. Yes, even on the smallest things. Pick your battles wisely—or better yet, just give up entirely. Sometimes the secret to peace is surrender.
Good luck,
The Unwanted Advice Columnist
(You’ll fight again. It’s inevitable.)
