How to behave after a strong quarrel
If a quarrel occurs in front of witnesses, try to restrain yourself in time and not lead to completely ugly scenes. After all the harsh words, invite your husband to continue the topic in a different setting. Once alone, ask your spouse to calmly repeat your complaints or express yours to him. Do not raise your voice, trying to convey to your chosen one everything that worries you.
If your spouse does not offer a truce, being to blame for the conflict, you should not shower him with reproaches. Just step back and keep yourself busy with some things. Sooner or later, your husband will try to get you to talk. React to his attempts evenly and kindly. Explain that it was unpleasant for you when he unfairly accused you of something. Do not insult or offend your spouse, but simply let him know that his behavior has offended you.
If your chosen one decides to continue making trouble, do not get involved in the conflict, but distance yourself from him even more. Say that you do not want to continue the conversation in this tone, and go into another room. Your husband can't calm down and provokes you to respond? Let him calm down - make contact when he pulls himself together, and pull away every time he shows aggression.
Have you talked about everything and decided to make peace? In this case, do not return to discussing the quarrel; leave it in the past. If you have forgiven your husband, do not remember this story at the slightest disagreement, thereby provoking a tense situation in the family.
In what cases is it necessary to end a relationship?
Sometimes it turns out that breaking off a relationship is the best decision:
- If your partner has bad habits . No, we're not talking about smoking here. Alcohol, drugs, gambling - this is a powerful argument to put an end to without hesitation.
- If your spouse raised his hand to you at least once, run away from him . Where this happened once, it will definitely happen again. Often women take on the role of victim, and then it is difficult for them to leave a sick relationship without outside help.
- Treason that has become firmly established in your family life is another reason to leave your beloved. Such a man will not change, and in the meantime your best years are leaving. Why constantly endure betrayal and turn a blind eye to it? Is this what you dreamed of?
If a conflict is ripe, there is no need to avoid it. If you keep everything to yourself, it will lead to divorce even faster.
Should I be the first to reconcile?
When you're at fault
In this case, you should not be tormented by any doubts - since the blame for the conflict lies with you, then you will have to resolve the situation. Make sure you are absolutely calm and invite your spouse to have a heart-to-heart talk. If he is absolutely not in the mood for a dialogue with you, then tell him that you will wait until he is ready, and then explain it to him.
Don't put pressure on your husband to listen to you immediately. When he is in the mood, he will invite you to talk.
When the husband is to blame
Some people are unable to admit their guilt. Your spouse may well be aware that the disagreement occurred because of him, but he is not used to “backing down” and initiating a “conciliatory” conversation. Knowing this peculiarity of his, you can invite him to talk about the current situation. Most likely, your husband will certainly apologize to you, and will be grateful that you were the first to approach him with a conversation.
How to make peace with your husband if you yourself are to blame for the quarrel
The easiest way is to ask your husband to discuss what happened. After this, two developments of the situation cannot be ruled out. In the first option, your husband will completely forgive you, and the conflict will exhaust itself, but the situation may turn out to be more serious: either your spouse will ask you to reschedule this conversation, or will forgive you only “in words.” Be that as it may, conversations alone will not be enough in this case.
If it is within your power, then you need to eliminate the cause of the quarrels. Does your husband think that you meet with your friends too often, forgetting about household chores? Try to listen to him and take care of the house for a while. Does your spouse not like that you stopped paying attention to him? Show that he is important and necessary to you. Does your boyfriend think that you spend a lot of time on social networks? Significantly reduce virtual communication at least for some period. Have you been unfair to your husband in some situation? Sincerely apologize to him, admitting your guilt.
Show concern for your husband, even if the relationship between you is tense. Create comfort in your home, prepare his favorite breakfasts or dinners. Do not pester him with conversations if you see that he is not ready for them. Just be attentive to him, making it clear that you will discuss the problem with him when he is “tuned” to it.
Should you put up with it if your husband is wrong and doesn’t want to admit it?
Whether it is worth taking the first step in this case depends only on the scale of the quarrel.
Minor quarrel.
If we are talking about any little thing, especially of a domestic nature, then you should not focus much attention on it. Just stop talking about it, and gradually the conflict will fade away. Even if your chosen one tries to remind you of the disagreement, walk away from the conversation, inviting everyone to remain with their own opinion, and at least for some period to forget about this misunderstanding.
Serious conflict.
In this case, it is probably important for you that your husband realizes his mistakes and corrects them. You should not make loud scenes, cry and demand an immediate apology from your spouse. Calmly voice your claim, and, without waiting for any words from your chosen one in your justification, “go into yourself” for a while. Do not express your hostility to him, continue to run the household as before, but by all means make it clear that you are very upset and disappointed. - If the situation is very serious, and the husband does not want to admit guilt at all - betrayal, domestic violence and the like - it is better to separate. Otherwise, the matter may only get worse.
The most common causes of quarrels
Conflict is not only destructive. With the right resolution, the family reaches a new level and mutual understanding improves.
Important! After a constructive quarrel, both partners draw conclusions about the mistakes they made and try not to repeat them.
There are many reasons why people quarrel, but if you think about it, they all have one reason - differences in male and female psychology:
- A woman's need for communication is much stronger than that of the opposite sex . This is how emotional release occurs. She can talk for hours about anything, and after a long conversation she feels rested and full of energy. A man, on the contrary, gets tired of long conversations.
- The strong half of humanity is distinguished by straightforward thinking . That is why they do not understand our hints. If something bothers you, the best solution is to just come up and say it openly, and not wait for him to figure it out on his own. And it’s better to avoid ambiguity in conversation. Specific information is perceived better, and a clearly defined goal (one!) is achieved faster.
- Spatial thinking is also developed in different directions : in order not to be distracted by trifles from global issues, they simply do not notice them, so rather than be offended and wait for your loved one to notice a new hairstyle, it is better to directly ask how it suits you.
Let’s add here different upbringings, stress at work, household responsibilities, lack of experience in creating strong bonds.

Important! Spouses often fight due to lack of finances. And sometimes it’s just some little thing that’s to blame, which becomes the last straw in the list of failures.
My husband wants to get a divorce after a quarrel - how to make peace
Did you have a major fight after which your spouse decided to file for divorce? If the reason is only this conflict, and your claims have not accumulated against each other for years, then it is quite possible to correct the situation.
First of all, you need to understand why your lover decided to take such a drastic step. Remember the situations that preceded the quarrel, think about how you can fix everything. Perhaps you know exactly what your fault is, and you don’t need to rummage through your memories for a long time in order to realize why your husband is on edge. Be that as it may, you must clearly understand why you are at risk of divorce, and talk about it with your spouse.
If you want to save your family, then it is very important to admit that you were wrong and promise that such cases will not happen again.
Tell your husband that you love him very much and want to preserve your family relationship. If a man perceives these statements without much enthusiasm, ask him for time to fix everything - for example, a month. During this period, you will need to show your spouse how dear he is to you. Create a special atmosphere of love, comfort and care at home that he will not want to lose.
Feeling offended6
After you have decided for each other that the reason has long been clarified, and after you have solved the problem itself, do not keep a grudge. This oppressive feeling that can drag you down can be present even years after you did what you did.
These emotions act like arsenic. When it enters the body, we do not feel it, but every day it begins to poison our body and aggravate the situation. After you notice this feeling in yourself, think about whether you have already begun to show the consequences on your friends and loved ones. Maybe out of resentment you began to bite and show even more negativity and toxicity in front of people.
After all this, a person may not only notice your constant jokes and objections, but also begin to take them with hostility. In this case, if strong love is not present, you will create the ground for new conflict. And a new conflict is a problem to which new efforts will again have to be invested with increased persistence.

Family psychologist. For 8 years I have been saving “family units” from disintegration. I help couples find love and understanding again.
Even if a couple has incredibly strong feelings, quarrels cannot be avoided at first. Partners simply cannot have identical views on absolutely everything. That’s why it’s so important to talk with your loved one, discuss controversial issues, and learn to find compromises. Each couple needs different time to learn to harmonize and find balance. But, if you work in this direction, within a few years the quarrels will be able to stop. Believe me, this is an incomparable feeling - when you understand your partner perfectly! And, even if there are some disagreements, they will be resolved peacefully.

No matter how you look at it, you still have to learn your own life lessons in a relationship. However, together with our team, each of you will be able to reduce them to a minimum number. We offer you another interesting fact that will give you the opportunity to take a different look at the relationship between a man and a woman. The desire to love and be loved is a natural need for each of us. Thus, the idea that all men are polygamous by nature is a fallacy. Understand that there are no fewer faithful men than women. The stronger sex feels absolutely the same feelings and emotions. Men can be faithful to one woman. But only in those cases when they experience absolute emotional and psychological comfort next to their companion.
I want to make peace with my ex-husband after a divorce, how to do it?
First of all, you should find out whether your ex-spouse is single or has a new lover. In the second case, the chances of reconciliation are not too high, but if there has not yet been anything serious in that relationship, then you can return your husband to the family.
Children together bring spouses closer together
If you have a child together, then it will be easier to make peace. First of all, it is important that the father at least periodically participate in the life of the child. Do not forbid your daughter or son to communicate with your ex-husband; on the contrary, encourage them to meet. Invite your ex-spouse to some important event in the child’s life - a birthday, a performance at school or kindergarten. Of course, you will also need to be there, showing maximum friendliness to your husband.
Turn a man's gaze on yourself - be beautiful and radiate positivity
If there are no children together, then you will have to look for other occasions for meetings, during which you should look your best. Remember what clothes your ex-husband liked, hairstyle, makeup, and before the meeting, dress up in accordance with his tastes.
You should always project a positive vibe. Do not think that if you demonstrate in every possible way how oppressed you are, he will immediately want to return to you. A man will be more interested in the fact that you are completely satisfied with your life and are optimistic.
Eliminate the causes of divorce
If, to a large extent, the divorce was your fault, then let your husband see that the old problems no longer exist. Perhaps he considered you a bad housewife? Find an opportunity to show him that this has now changed. Maybe the other side is that it seemed to him that you were very bogged down in everyday worries, having stopped developing. Then let him see that you have interesting hobbies.
If you cheated on your spouse, challenge him to a frank conversation, saying that you realized that this act was the biggest mistake in your life, and you would never do that again. Invite him to maintain a friendly relationship, arguing that he is very dear to you, and you are reproaching yourself for ruining your marriage.
Forgive your spouse if he sincerely regrets the quarrel
If the divorce took place because of some misconduct of your spouse, and you understand that it would be better to forgive him than to erase him from your life, then it makes sense to offer him a meeting. Ask if he regrets what happened. If the answer is positive, say that you are also sorry that your marriage suffered such a fate, and sometimes you miss him. Surely, after this confession, your ex-husband himself will offer you to start all over again.
What to do if the offense is serious
Men forgive a scratch on a car caused by their wife. But there are moments that hurt them more, after which the husband does not want to put up with:
- criticism in public;
- humiliation of his dignity;
- insulting his relatives;
- treason.
A man loves himself. If someone criticizes him, especially his beloved wife in front of other people, he feels a strong blow to his pride. For him, such humiliation is similar to betrayal. Every person wants to feel like the best, because it’s not for nothing that he was chosen as his wife. If she begins to devalue his qualities, he will take it painfully and will not want to forgive.
Constant complaints and attempts to re-educate him destroy the connection. A man’s family, his relatives are himself. He takes criticism of his family onto himself and considers it an insult to his dignity. Even if he himself speaks negatively about them, he will not give the woman such a right.
Cheating destroys relationships the most. The partner strives to be the only one for his woman. When he encounters adultery, it hurts him deeply. He believes that his wife has found someone better than him. In any situation, you need to organize a sincere conversation. It is important to show your husband sincere regret, apologize, and offer to start the relationship from scratch.

My husband and I argue every day: how to fix the situation
Sometimes a couple decides to separate. Then the pain subsides, emotions calm down, and the woman again wants to restore her relationship with her ex. Meetings, communication, and tea parties are resuming. The lady’s worldview changes; she becomes interested in her husband’s hobbies, if they were previously the cause of omissions. The girl takes care of herself, seduces her gentleman, and remains silent about old grievances.
We quarreled and haven’t communicated with my husband for three days, what should I do?
Surely, during this period, the most negative emotions have already subsided, and each of you is ready for dialogue.
Since the husband does not want to initiate it, then take this fate upon yourself:
- Invite your husband to discuss the current situation and find a way out of it. Try to be delicate and calm. Don’t escalate the situation, and let your husband simply express everything that has accumulated in him. Give your arguments and propose a solution that suits both of you.
- Do everything to make him understand that you want to make peace. Cook delicious dishes, wear seductive clothes at home, show that you are in the mood for dialogue by asking him in a friendly tone about everyday little things: “Have you seen my key?”, “Did you pick up the mail?” etc. Even if he just nods indifferently, the main thing is that he understands your mood.
- Ask close friends or relatives to organize a get-together in a cafe, a trip to the cinema or to some establishment, explaining why this is all being done. The main thing is that this company is pleasant to your life partner. If the husband nevertheless decides to go to the meeting, then he is clearly committed to a truce. Of course, first you will have to agree that “in public” you will not show each other your grievances. And it’s not far from real reconciliation.
- Sometimes the reason for a quarrel can be completely trivial, but each of the spouses is so stubborn that they do not want to be the first to reconcile. This often happens especially among young couples. If you realize that your conflict is not really worth attention at all, take a moment and simply hug your husband and tell him that you love him. Surely, he has long been ready to make peace, and will be happy that this happened.
Determine the reason for the disagreement
The real reason why you had a quarrel with your husband may be hidden deep in the subconscious, and scattered socks simply gave a reason to speak negatively, so it is worth understanding the specific problems that make you nervous.

Ways to apologize to your husband in person and during correspondence
These include the following factors:
- lack of husband's attention;
- household routine;
- low income;
- jealousy;
- treason;
- career or hobbies;
- parenting;
- incompatibility of views.
The fact that the husband pays little attention is often invented by the wife herself. Sometimes she pushes herself to such an extent that her partner really doesn’t want to look at her. Everyday routine and monotonous duties are reminiscent of Groundhog Day. Something is constantly breaking in the apartment, bills are being paid, homework is being done with the children. There is no time left for yourself with your loved one.
Both are tired, they want to go to the sea, but their income does not allow it. Moreover, the apartment is rented, the owners can ask to vacate it at any time. The money had just saved up for a new handbag when the child’s sneakers broke. Nerves to the limit. The husband was tired of his always dissatisfied wife, he found a blossoming and cheerful mistress instead of giving his wife a day off and sending her to the spa.

How not to divorce your wife: options for solving the problem
Being fixated on your spouse’s career or your own hobbies leads to quarrels, but if you want a good financial situation, let him work. After the birth of a child, young parents express complaints to each other: the husband does not help, he is disdainful of changing the diaper, the wife did not prepare dinner because the child was capricious and did not get off his hands all day. These are common reasons that lead to conflicts.
SMS to husband after a strong quarrel
If you decided to text, then, apparently, your fault predominated in the conflict. In general, this option is good when your spouse clearly does not want to engage in dialogue or it is difficult for you to find the right words in a personal conversation.
By the way, SMS can be replaced with a message on social networks:
- Start by admitting that it is very difficult for you mentally because you had a quarrel. Apologize to your spouse, admit that you were wrong in the situation, and feel remorseful.
- Don’t try to make him feel guilty by throwing off all responsibility for the quarrel - this can only push him away from you even more.
- Let him know that you will wait for his decision, and that you would really like everything to be fine in your relationship.
Have you ever been unable to get a response to your message? Then try calling your husband after a while. If in this case he ignores you, the main thing you have done is to convey to him that you repent of the quarrel.
