Two people were just arguing a second ago. They don’t much but I’ve noticed some common things about arguments.

It often starts with some sort of miscommunication or wrong assumptions and then also a bad situation.

Another thing I have seen is that some people when they’re upset, force the person they are upset with to go through with the plan that’s bothering them since they already started it. Like say someone is moving a piece of furinitue around the house, and then their wife is upset with it, they might make him move it even if he wants to stop since it’s frustrating her.

Also sometimes someone will always try to solve the problem/conflict but often it doesn’t seem like there is any solution cause the issue already happened. The conflict happened at a moment and can’t be reversed (even though the action that caused it is reversable).

Miscommunication + emotions = conflict
