What Can I Do Differently?
Letting go of being right is so important because people want to be heard. People want to be understood. It doesn’t have to always do with whether you’re right or not. Instead of focusing on who is right, the more important skill to harness is uncovering the missing information that your partner holds, and not getting trapped in the you’re wrong and I’m right pothole. When misunderstandings take place, we want to ask our partner, What happened? Why was it important to you? What can I do differently? There is a high tendency that a misunderstanding may occur when you are not in the same mood or state of mind as your partner who is conveying the thoughts or message. What do you think would likely happen if you do not trust the one who is giving out the information to you? There is usually a misunderstanding between partners when one of the partners interprets the words wrongly in contrast to what the other partner really has in mind to convey. The manner a message is conveyed the wrong way, the meaning may be missed. Your inability to understand a message correctly because it was not conveyed in the right way, or you because didn’t receive the information in the way it was conveyed can result in misunderstanding. Women are usually more particular when it comes to specifying how much time it will take for them to finish a given job or duty or any other thing that involves time like organizing their schedule. But men tend to be just the opposite. For example, when a man says he will be back from the gym in one hour, by the time you know it, he is somehow four hours maybe more behind schedule. So Instead of coming back home in one hour as agreed, he comes back in only after four hours. 
Think for Yourself
Not keeping to the agreed time or therefore not returning immediately can trigger a misunderstanding between the man and his woman. If you are going to be late from work, make a call to inform your partner so that they do not have to worry. But usually, it works the other way round may not. When you don’t call to inform your partner about very important or not very significant matters, it sometimes results in a misunderstanding between the partners. But then, one of the partners for no reason assumes that they are being blamed by the other partner for all the problems that they are having. This leads to more misunderstandings and arguments. You are most likely to have a misunderstanding with your partner when you already have different set notions in your mind that force you to make a biased misinterpretation of a message. Sometimes, partners tend to allow their decisions to be negatively influenced by other people, such as friends and certain ’sympathizers.’ It is not bad in itself to seek help from more experienced people, but accepting what other people’s opinions hook, line and sinker might cast a dark shadow over your judgments. So, being under the influence of other people, thoughts, or events can change your perception, and you fail to see the correct picture. This will only result in more misunderstanding. When the presupposed response that you expected to get from your partner is unpleasantly different from what you got. Hearts Full Of Soul
When you start making up the negative reasons in your heart when there’s a delay in response from your partner or other people. When one of the partners makes a wrong assessment of situations or incorrectly evaluates the other partner Is Having Misunderstandings in Your Relationships Really that Bad? Such occasions can be very stressful for both partners in the relationship and it may also bring some issues into the limelight that would need to e discussed. Even though we have said a misunderstanding is an argument, or if you like, a fight between couples, it doesn’t mean that misunderstandings are always bad. Misunderstandings may not always have a negative effect on a relationship. Instead, there are instances when they contribute to increasing the connection, intimacy, or bond between the partners. A relationship in which no misunderstanding arises is often described as being perfect. The reality, however, is that a perfect relationship is one in which several misunderstandings arise and the partners in the relationships are still able to manage to resolve such misunderstandings or disagreements and tend to remain together happily. This type of relationship can in the true sense of it, be considered a prosperous relationship. It is, therefore, reasonable to say that arguments are part of all relationships. You will find many partners who find true love through arguing and disagreeing with each other. The fact is that occasional disagreement or argument is a detox from those regular boring moments in relationships, and even life generally. Sometimes fights are essential to get your excitement of love again, just like when you just started your relationship. One Of Those Days
If you’re serious about your relationship, then disagreements might happen sometimes. It is normal because having these misunderstandings means you & your partner are in a deep relationship. It means that you and your partner do not just agree with the other just to impress your partner. But then, too much of anything is bad! Whatever is beyond the limit is not good for your health. If your misunderstandings are becoming unrestrained, or are getting out of control and beyond the limit, it becomes a dangerous thing to you. And make sure it doesn’t become a habit too in your relationship for this could be damaging. So, what really matters is how serious and determined you are to resolve your disagreements or misunderstandings and protect your relationship without letting it become persistent and toxic to you and your relationship. Sustained, unresolved disagreements or misunderstandings can create tension at home or at work, can wash away the strength and satisfaction of relationships, and can even make people feel physically in pain. Well, that is not possible.
