Styles relationship

1. Style avoidance. In case of dispute, one stubbornly insists on his opinion, and second there is nothing left but to submit to the will of the first and avoid conflict. If this style of relationships hold, desire a second person will be ignored on a regular basis.

2. Style fit. Here, as in the first embodiment, one partner gives way to a second, fully agreeing with his choice of running counter to their own desires, but on condition that the next time will partner on the same concession. For example, "this time we will go to India, just as you want, but in the next one - in Thailand."

3. The style of competition. None of the partners is not willing to make concessions, and the conflict takes on deeper meaning. In such a situation, one can begin to threaten a second rupture of relations, putting him an ultimatum. If this style is fixed, a partner in the future will continue to pursue through its threats and blackmail.

4. Style of compromise. Each of the partners in the conflict agreed to sacrifice part of their interests. Contrary to popular opinion, the compromise is not the best style of the relationship - it is effective to save them, but does not guarantee happiness in the family. The trade-off, a forced concession - not the same thing as the voluntary agreement. Sacrifice inevitably leads to resentment and eventually Partners Charter to ignore their interests.

5. Style of cooperation is the most effective but also the most difficult to build relationships. It is not necessary to give in, but we need to find common ground and build relationships that satisfied both. And for this you need to sit down and talk, figure out what they want both partners.
