A conflict of interests occurs when you argue with your forever person. You don’t want to hurt this person because you adore them above all else. You don’t want them to be upset for even a single second. At the same time, you don’t want to give up. You don’t want to let them win the argument if you believe they are incorrect. You do not want to be taken advantage of by accident. You want to maintain your position. You want to make sure they understand the consequences of their actions.

Everything about your day changes when you’re arguing with your forever person. Every few hours, you want to send them a link to an interesting article you’ve read or a funny video you’ve seen, but you remember you’re trying to make a point. You don’t want to act as if everything is normal when you haven’t had a chance to talk about your issues. You don’t want to give them the impression that the argument is over, but you also want to tell them about your day, kiss them, and cuddle with them. You just want everything to be normal again because they’re your best friend and you want them to be happy.

When you’re arguing with your forever person, you have to resolve the conflict as soon as possible because even a single day on bad terms with them is torture. You have trouble sleeping when they are irritated with you. You have difficulty swallowing food. You have difficulty enjoying the good parts of your day because you wish they were sitting next to you, laughing with you. Nothing can divert your attention. It’s difficult for you to focus on your work. It’s difficult for you to fake your smiles. It’s difficult for you to act as if everything is fine when it isn’t.

When you’re arguing with your forever person, you have to be careful how you handle the situation. You always fight fairly. Before you say anything, you give yourself a few seconds to calm down. You maintain your cool. When you feel yourself about to lash out, you bite your tongue. You make certain that you stay on topic. You keep the argument from escalating. You make certain that you treat your person with the same respect that you would on any other, happier day. You don’t stop loving them just because you’re annoyed with them. It doesn’t mean you’re enjoying upsetting them.

Arguing with your forever person can be frustrating, but it is never frightening. You never stop wondering if the disagreement will end your relationship because you know it won’t. You are confident that the two of you can overcome any obstacle. You know you’ll make it through every speed bump. You are aware that you are stronger than your weakest moments. You know you’re meant to be together.
