Relationships: How Do I Learn To Argue Like An Adult?

Does fighting with your boyfriend or husband bring out the worst in you? When you get upset or angry, do you lash out like a rebellious teenager? Are you worried that you might eventually say or do something you will later regret? Good news: you're not alone.

In this video, women's advocate, founder of the SWAT Institute and YourTango Expert Crystal Andrus offers advice about how to keep your inner-teenager in check when fighting with your significant other. 

"The truth is," says Crystal, "every one of us has a wounded part of us that — when we're in those stressful situations — often comes out." So, what can you do about it? "What I recommend," she advises, "is that you give [your inner teenager] a chance ... give her an opportunity ... let that 15-year-old write a letter to everybody who's ever hurt her." That way, you can confront your anger head on instead of taking it out on the one you love.
