如何在争吵时不伤害感情

Keep fights short

不要吵太久

"Don't drag out fights.

"不要拖延你们的争吵。

If a couple has a fight, some time apart could be necessary for everyone to calm down and think more rationally.

如果情侣之间吵架了，有时候分开对于每个人来说都是必要的，可以冷静下来、更理智的思考。

But, a refusal to make up, especially as punishment, can create bigger problems in the long-term. By drawing out apologies and delaying the start of communication, it also prolongs the negative feelings, especially if one person wants to make up.

但长远看来，拒绝和好会造成更大的问题，尤其是将其视作惩罚时情况更是如此。

Communicating and ending an argument in a relatively short amount of time is preferable, especially before both partners go to sleep."

延长道歉和沟通的时间会使负面情绪相应延长，当一方想要和好时更是如此。"
