Conflicts are normal in any relationship. Contrary to popular belief, conflict helps improve understanding of relationships. This will help you get to know your partner and their point of view better. However, the healthy resolution of conflicts is problematic. If unresolved conflicts persist, they can lead to frustration and anger. “Conflict doesn't have to be bad. Conflict can really bring you closer, deepen mutual understanding and strengthen relationships. That's why it's so important to learn how to resolve conflict constructively," writes therapist Lucille Shackleton. Conflicts help the partner to open up more. This promotes healthy and honest communication. We learn about our wounds: contradictions help us find the underlying problems, reveal our own causes and wounds.

Strengthens the bond: When we experience conflict together, we become better and stronger partners. This helps improve emotional relationships. Expressing our concerns, feelings and needs can be harmful to relationships. It will continue to withdraw if conflicts cannot be resolved healthily. If we do not resolve conflicts in relationships for a long time, they accumulate and gradually develop into resentment and disappointment. “Unhealed angers tend to fester, fester, and spiral out of control. They become a wall, creating a distance that seems safer than talking about the problem directly. As resentment grows, so does pain, which makes compassion difficult. And offer compassion,” wrote therapist Jordan Green. Here are some reasons that can lead to resentment in a relationship.
