I always tell myself "How would God view how I handle this?" I state my side/view of things without name calling, or treating that other person like they are idiots. If they want to be mean, I don't let their actions have that power to change my emotions...I see it as if at a camp fire, it is not good for too many to throw in the logs, it could start a verbal forest fire.

I fully agree with you. I used to be passive aggressive and avoided conflict, but realized it wasn't healthy for my relationships or myself. A few weeks back my bf said some hurtful things and I asked and pleaded with God whether or not it was worth saying anything and I confronted him in a loving manner and expressed my feelings. Ever since that time we have never been closer.
I was curious what everyone's thoughts were on this....

Well, whether you like it or not all relationships have drama....and just because people have arguments does not mean their life is full of drama. There are things that happen in any and all relationships that you disagree with and I don't find it to be a waste of time....it can bring people closer together

Situation dependent.
If it's a simple misunderstanding, I was generally willing to let it go but make known what my position was. I would pick and choose my battles in those situations. If the argument was something antagonized to see how I would react, then the young lady had better hang on to her hat. To me, those are games, and I won't play games. If the argument was something serious and was my fault, then I took my lumps and apologized. If it was her fault, then she'd know I wasn't pleased and I always expected (but never, ever, ever) received an apology.
Finally, if given an ultimatum "Either you do {this} OR you {that}" I'll choose OR every single time. Every. Single. Time.
Yes, I know why I'm single. Thank you. LOL

Oh my goodness.....Im sorry if I made an assumption of relationships. I just figure people have disagreements with people they care about as in siblings, parents, friends and so on and so forth rather than arguing with themselves jk

I don't have to have THE last word, but I would like my views to be heard, and someone to actually consider what I'm talking about and not just letting it go "in one ear, out the other". Not everyone has the right view of things...
But it also depends on the persons involved and their maturity levels with the said discussion. If one isn't willing to compromise... then it's not worth the fight to begin with.

It depends, I don't or try not to argue or debate on line. I don't see the point. I'm not saying I never have, but 99% of the time you're not going to change someone's mind.
Arguing with my Husband just happens sometimes. I've apologized and so has he. There's been a few times we've agreed to disagree. We don't always view kid's bad behavior consequences the same way, but now that we've reached the age of electronics and WI FI, punishment decisions are much easier.
When it it comes to my kid's I don't argue. They're 10 and 11, I do listen when they don't think something is fair, but they're arguments usually involve not wanting to take a shower or brush their teeth, they lose.
