Divergences and criticisms are normal in any relationship, whether it's between a mom and dad, or between two nations or peoples. All too often, though, they get out of hand, leading to hurt feelings, anger, and heavy out. The best chance of resolving a quarrel is to protect yourself, state your needs, range the hand of reconciliation and be compassionate. Even if you just do them yourself. If your partner participates, all the better! But waiting for the other person to do the right thing only leads to jam - so your best bet is to take steps yourself, unilaterally if necessary, because that is the best way to evoke good behavior from the other person, take his issues with you off the table, and let you take your stand on the high moral ground.
