Hi, I'm Donna Barnes. I'm a life and relationship coach and owner of NYDatingCoach in New York City. In this clip, we'll talk about how to fight in a relationship. Because arguments are going to happen, it's inevitable. But if you have some ground rules about how to not hurt each other while you argue, then that's a better way to handle it. First off, don't ever call each other names, ever. It's inexcusable. There's no reason for it, and bad things that you say can never be taken back. They're really painful. So stick to what is hurting you, what is bothering you, what's causing the problems. Begin with "I" statements. Say, I feel upset when. And don't blame the other person for anything. It's not about making them wrong. It's just about getting your needs met. And learn how to express your feelings. That's what's most important. Because if you don't ever argue in a relationship, that's just heading for disaster. Then you're holding in all your feelings, and nothing is ever getting worked out. That's a bad place to be coming from. So, it's okay to have an argument once in a while. It's going to strengthen your relationship. But make sure you don't damage your relationship with each other in the process. This is Donna Barnes. Life and relationship coach in New York City.
