10 Things To Never Do After A Fight

You must be familiar with that foul taste in your mouth after you have a serious fight with your partner. No matter where you are and what you do, you cannot seem to get that sense of dissatisfaction out of your mind. No matter how pissed you are with your partner, you must never do certain things after a fight. Doing these things will only aggravate your own hurt and make it tough for you to sort out your differences.

Ideally, you should try and do some romantic things after a fight so that you two can make up. But if you cannot summon up the emotional quotient to be romantic, at least avoid doing insensitive things after a fight to make matters worse. Don't keep thinking about how to punish your partner. What you really need is to think about how to end the fight and get back to normal.

It is easier to makeup after a fight than you think. You just have to keep your ego aside and think of the two of you as one entity instead of two individuals. Always remember that there is no harm in saying sorry even if you are not wrong.
