How to break the silence after a fight with a partner and start a conversation
1. Send a romantic text message
If you are feeling too awkward to face your partner after you two fight, you can send them a sweet and romantic message. You can write about how much the relationship and your partner mean to you. But do not react or get angry if you do not get a response to your message immediately. Be happy that you made an effort to break the ice and that’s really praiseworthy.
2. Make a call
Po pick up your phone and call your partner. The best way to start the conversation is by exchanging pleasantries, though it might not be so easy to do that after an awkward silence following the fight. However, avoid playing the blame game because it will only aggravate the situation more.
3. Apologise
It’s always wise to owe up to your mistakes and saying a sorry is the best way to start a conversation with an upset partner. Keep in mind that just apologising isn’t enough if you don’t mean it. It would be a nice gesture if you could furnish the apology with a token of love— a gift or chocolates and even a handwritten note can brighten up your partner’s day after that ugly fight.
4. The good old way of starting afresh the next day
Treat a new day as a new beginning and start it like you would otherwise do when you don’t fight with your partner. Maybe, prepare your lover’s favourite dish for breakfast and start the day with a hearty, “good morning!”
5. Forgive and forget
If you want to pick up the threads of a relationship after a quarrel with your partner, you should learn to forgive and forget. And only when you do that, you can help each other to get over your differences and strengthen the relationship. Additionally, it becomes easy to talk to a person when you have forgiven him or her, right? But you must also remember to forgive yourself because sometimes we are so engulfed in self-guilt and pity after a fight that it becomes almost impossible to pour our heart out after the incident.
