Do you get steamed discussing relationship challenges with your beau?

Nearly all relationships have some ups and downs. Part of getting to know a man is seeing how he works through relationship misunderstandings. What should you look for when you have a disagreement? How can you determine if he's self-absorbed vs. flexible, loving and unselfish? What can you learn from a fight?

Everyone has hot buttons. Your sweetie may trigger feelings left over from your past relationship: abandonment, being taken for granted, unrealistic expectations, unpleasant demands are common complaints. But just because your ex didn't lift a finger to help with dinner doesn't mean that your current man is lazy when he prefers to do dishes instead of chopping. Learn how to talk through differences to see if you've uncovered a deal breaker, or if it is just matter of preferences.
