How to make peace with your husband: after a strong quarrel, if it’s your fault, if your husband is wrong, if your husband wants a divorce.

Is your nervous system already exhausted to the limit by quarrels with your husband? Is there a crisis in a relationship that has no end in sight? In fact, most likely, everything is not as bad as it seems to you, and the way out lies on the surface, but you don’t notice it. Psychologists recommend reconsidering your position on family conflicts and putting an end to unnecessary wars. And don’t be afraid to take the initiative into your own hands, because a wise woman understands that only she is able to save a marriage and make it happy.

How to behave after a strong quarrel

If a quarrel occurs in front of witnesses, try to restrain yourself in time and not lead to completely ugly scenes. After all the harsh words, invite your husband to continue the topic in a different setting. Once alone, ask your spouse to calmly repeat your complaints or express yours to him. Do not raise your voice, trying to convey to your chosen one everything that worries you.

If your spouse does not offer a truce, being to blame for the conflict, you should not shower him with reproaches. Just step back and keep yourself busy with some things. Sooner or later, your husband will try to get you to talk. React to his attempts evenly and kindly. Explain that it was unpleasant for you when he unfairly accused you of something. Do not insult or offend your spouse, but simply let him know that his behavior has offended you.

If your chosen one decides to continue making trouble, do not get involved in the conflict, but distance yourself from him even more. Say that you do not want to continue the conversation in this tone, and go into another room. Your husband can't calm down and provokes you to respond? Let him calm down - make contact when he pulls himself together, and pull away every time he shows aggression.

Have you talked about everything and decided to make peace? In this case, do not return to discussing the quarrel; leave it in the past. If you have forgiven your husband, do not remember this story at the slightest disagreement, thereby provoking a tense situation in the family.

Useful tips

How to behave during a quarrel with your husband:

Listen to him, and don't just talk to him.
Don't blame or make excuses, but don't remain silent either. Just state the facts.
Don't bring up the past.
Do not Cry. Men do not tolerate high frequency sounds well.
Don't insult, don't talk about divorce.
Don't give up. If there is a blow in response, know: it was you who provoked it.
Do not break dishes or throw things around the room.
Express your thoughts using “I-message”. Not “You came home late again,” but: “I worry when you’re gone for a long time.”

How to stop a quarrel and calm down:

Go to different rooms. An excellent option on how to avoid a quarrel if it has not yet flared up, and how to stop it.
Do yoga, breathing exercises, exercise on a simulator.
Take a walk.
Drink a glass of water.
Hug and kiss your husband.
Ask for forgiveness if you are at fault.
Say a safe word (the spouses agree on it in advance).

It is important to immediately decide how to behave after a quarrel. Under no circumstances should you immediately cry, beg him for forgiveness on your knees, hang yourself on your neck, even if you are to blame. First, both need to cool down, and only after that go for reconciliation.

And most importantly, a wise wife, even after quarreling with her husband, will never deny him intimacy, will not kick him out of the shared bedroom, or will not make him a separate bed in another room. This means a lot for men, and to resolve the conflict, it is often enough for spouses to sleep in the same bed.

How to make quarrels less frequent:

Learn to manage your anger. Don't allow yourself to raise your voice or insult.
Learn to listen to your husband. Let him talk it out in the evenings after work.
Put yourself in his place to quickly understand the motives of his actions.
Discuss controversial issues in advance: who takes out the trash when, walks the dog, who earns how much.
Do not consult with anyone regarding conflict situations that arise (except psychologists).
Respect your husband. Find merit in it. Fall in love with him again.
Do what you promise.

If you follow these rules, quarrels will arise much less frequently.

Should I be the first to reconcile?

When you're at fault

In this case, you should not be tormented by any doubts - since the blame for the conflict lies with you, then you will have to resolve the situation. Make sure you are absolutely calm and invite your spouse to have a heart-to-heart talk. If he is absolutely not in the mood for a dialogue with you, then tell him that you will wait until he is ready, and then explain it to him.

Don't put pressure on your husband to listen to you immediately. When he is in the mood, he will invite you to talk.

When the husband is to blame

Some people are unable to admit their guilt. Your spouse may well be aware that the disagreement occurred because of him, but he is not used to “backing down” and initiating a “conciliatory” conversation. Knowing this peculiarity of his, you can invite him to talk about the current situation. Most likely, your husband will certainly apologize to you, and will be grateful that you were the first to approach him with a conversation.

Features of male psychology

If you and your husband have too frequent quarrels, think about whether you understand men at all. Or do you, having lived in marriage for so long, still think that they are exactly the same as women? Perhaps the reason for the constant scandals is that you have no idea what motivates his actions and what he expects from you. Once you comprehend the secrets of his psychology, many things will fall into place, and the need for conflicts will disappear. Here are its features:

men are straightforward and work to achieve one specific goal;
they are guided by actions, not words;
they don't take hints;
they don't pay attention to little things;
they don't like to be bossed around;
in fact, they are not dry and callous, they just cannot be shown that they also experience and suffer;
they must somehow throw out accumulated emotions, and the best means for this is a hobby (car, fishing, hunting, guitar, hiking, gym);
they love to be praised and need to feel important;
they love honesty.

A striking example of women’s misunderstanding of male psychology: he does not call during the day, and a detailed picture of infidelity is already being drawn in his wife’s imagination. In fact, he is simply busy at work and cannot keep several tasks in his head at once.

How to make peace with your husband if you yourself are to blame for the quarrel

The easiest way is to ask your husband to discuss what happened. After this, two developments of the situation cannot be ruled out. In the first option, your husband will completely forgive you, and the conflict will exhaust itself, but the situation may turn out to be more serious: either your spouse will ask you to reschedule this conversation, or will forgive you only “in words.” Be that as it may, conversations alone will not be enough in this case.

If it is within your power, then you need to eliminate the cause of the quarrels. Does your husband think that you meet with your friends too often, forgetting about household chores? Try to listen to him and take care of the house for a while. Does your spouse not like that you stopped paying attention to him? Show that he is important and necessary to you. Does your boyfriend think that you spend a lot of time on social networks? Significantly reduce virtual communication at least for some period. Have you been unfair to your husband in some situation? Sincerely apologize to him, admitting your guilt.

Show concern for your husband, even if the relationship between you is tense. Create comfort in your home, prepare his favorite breakfasts or dinners. Do not pester him with conversations if you see that he is not ready for them. Just be attentive to him, making it clear that you will discuss the problem with him when he is “tuned” to it.

You need to apologize first

Childishness and irresponsibility force spouses to expect the most important steps from the other person, but not to take them themselves. They constantly complain that their partner does not change himself. You should work scrupulously on your shortcomings! Instead, spouses “compete” in total control: how not to “overwork” in creating happiness, how to prevent the spouse from relaxing!

What remedies help:

First you need to realize that you need to make peace. People who want to invest energy in the happiness of their family should invest it, and not count who is more inferior in disputes. When we get carried away with observing other people's work, we fail to fulfill our responsibilities. This leads to new quarrels.

Sharing of responsibilities. It is no coincidence that lovers' bridges exist. Traditionally, dates are scheduled and wedding photos are taken there. The bridge is a beautiful and imaginative symbol. To meet in the middle, everyone needs to walk their half way and see the movement towards them. When there is no movement towards you, you need to slow down a little and say why this is happening? It is possible that the spouse, faced with difficulties, immediately retreats. A frank conversation with your “other half” and psychological support would be very appropriate.

Should you put up with it if your husband is wrong and doesn’t want to admit it?

Whether it is worth taking the first step in this case depends only on the scale of the quarrel.

Minor quarrel.

If we are talking about any little thing, especially of a domestic nature, then you should not focus much attention on it. Just stop talking about it, and gradually the conflict will fade away. Even if your chosen one tries to remind you of the disagreement, walk away from the conversation, inviting everyone to remain with their own opinion, and at least for some period to forget about this misunderstanding.

Serious conflict.

In this case, it is probably important for you that your husband realizes his mistakes and corrects them. You should not make loud scenes, cry and demand an immediate apology from your spouse. Calmly voice your claim, and, without waiting for any words from your chosen one in your justification, “go into yourself” for a while. Do not express your hostility to him, continue to run the household as before, but by all means make it clear that you are very upset and disappointed. - If the situation is very serious, and the husband does not want to admit guilt at all - betrayal, domestic violence and the like - it is better to separate. Otherwise, the matter may only get worse.

When you're depressed

“I just wanted to tell you that I feel deep pain. When you took (insert action), I felt (insert specific emotion). I don’t think I can move on until you admit it and I get an apology.”

You can't control what other people do or say, and while you can demand an apology, there's no guarantee you'll get one. According to experts, the best way to deal with the pain after an argument is to ask the person to understand your feelings, but don't expect it 100 percent.

My husband wants to get a divorce after a quarrel - how to make peace

Did you have a major fight after which your spouse decided to file for divorce? If the reason is only this conflict, and your claims have not accumulated against each other for years, then it is quite possible to correct the situation.

First of all, you need to understand why your lover decided to take such a drastic step. Remember the situations that preceded the quarrel, think about how you can fix everything. Perhaps you know exactly what your fault is, and you don’t need to rummage through your memories for a long time in order to realize why your husband is on edge. Be that as it may, you must clearly understand why you are at risk of divorce, and talk about it with your spouse.

If you want to save your family, then it is very important to admit that you were wrong and promise that such cases will not happen again.

Tell your husband that you love him very much and want to preserve your family relationship. If a man perceives these statements without much enthusiasm, ask him for time to fix everything - for example, a month. During this period, you will need to show your spouse how dear he is to you. Create a special atmosphere of love, comfort and care at home that he will not want to lose.

Psychology of family quarrel

Some are convinced that sometimes it is even useful to let off steam. Like, we are all living people and have the right to give in. But this attitude is very insidious. Couples who follow it gradually get used to squabbles and do not compromise.

However, you should not train your stress resistance with the help of negative emotions. But if conflicts still occur, remember the methods of reconciliation.

I want to make peace with my ex-husband after a divorce, how to do it?

First of all, you should find out whether your ex-spouse is single or has a new lover. In the second case, the chances of reconciliation are not too high, but if there has not yet been anything serious in that relationship, then you can return your husband to the family.

Children together bring spouses closer together

If you have a child together, then it will be easier to make peace. First of all, it is important that the father at least periodically participate in the life of the child. Do not forbid your daughter or son to communicate with your ex-husband; on the contrary, encourage them to meet. Invite your ex-spouse to some important event in the child’s life - a birthday, a performance at school or kindergarten. Of course, you will also need to be there, showing maximum friendliness to your husband.

Turn a man's gaze on yourself - be beautiful and radiate positivity

If there are no children together, then you will have to look for other occasions for meetings, during which you should look your best. Remember what clothes your ex-husband liked, hairstyle, makeup, and before the meeting, dress up in accordance with his tastes.

You should always project a positive vibe. Do not think that if you demonstrate in every possible way how oppressed you are, he will immediately want to return to you. A man will be more interested in the fact that you are completely satisfied with your life and are optimistic.

Eliminate the causes of divorce

If, to a large extent, the divorce was your fault, then let your husband see that the old problems no longer exist. Perhaps he considered you a bad housewife? Find an opportunity to show him that this has now changed. Maybe the other side is that it seemed to him that you were very bogged down in everyday worries, having stopped developing. Then let him see that you have interesting hobbies.

If you cheated on your spouse, challenge him to a frank conversation, saying that you realized that this act was the biggest mistake in your life, and you would never do that again. Invite him to maintain a friendly relationship, arguing that he is very dear to you, and you are reproaching yourself for ruining your marriage.

Forgive your spouse if he sincerely regrets the quarrel

If the divorce took place because of some misconduct of your spouse, and you understand that it would be better to forgive him than to erase him from your life, then it makes sense to offer him a meeting. Ask if he regrets what happened. If the answer is positive, say that you are also sorry that your marriage suffered such a fate, and sometimes you miss him. Surely, after this confession, your ex-husband himself will offer you to start all over again.

The best words of reconciliation for a husband

What words would be appropriate after a strong quarrel with your husband? Tell him how you feel and how difficult it is for you to be in this state.

If you decide to send SMS, then write about your love, admit that you regret the disagreement that happened, say that it is difficult for you to receive support and attention from him. Try to be sincere.

Expensive! My action was stupid and thoughtless. In anger, I said a lot of unnecessary things. But you will always be the best and most beloved for me. I want you to know how much I love you and how hard it is for me now.

We quarreled and haven’t communicated with my husband for three days, what should I do?

Surely, during this period, the most negative emotions have already subsided, and each of you is ready for dialogue.

Since the husband does not want to initiate it, then take this fate upon yourself:

Invite your husband to discuss the current situation and find a way out of it. Try to be delicate and calm. Don’t escalate the situation, and let your husband simply express everything that has accumulated in him. Give your arguments and propose a solution that suits both of you.
Do everything to make him understand that you want to make peace. Cook delicious dishes, wear seductive clothes at home, show that you are in the mood for dialogue by asking him in a friendly tone about everyday little things: “Have you seen my key?”, “Did you pick up the mail?” etc. Even if he just nods indifferently, the main thing is that he understands your mood.
Ask close friends or relatives to organize a get-together in a cafe, a trip to the cinema or to some establishment, explaining why this is all being done. The main thing is that this company is pleasant to your life partner. If the husband nevertheless decides to go to the meeting, then he is clearly committed to a truce. Of course, first you will have to agree that “in public” you will not show each other your grievances. And it’s not far from real reconciliation.
Sometimes the reason for a quarrel can be completely trivial, but each of the spouses is so stubborn that they do not want to be the first to reconcile. This often happens especially among young couples. If you realize that your conflict is not really worth attention at all, take a moment and simply hug your husband and tell him that you love him. Surely, he has long been ready to make peace, and will be happy that this happened.

When you're still angry

“While I do not wish to further escalate the tension between us, there was an important point that I felt was not addressed when we had a disagreement (explain why this is important and relevant to your relationship).

Sometimes quarrels do not end, and you are overcome by the desire to add fuel to the fire. However, there is a way to continue the conversation without making matters worse. It is important not to incite conflict, even if you feel angry inside. Experts advise explaining clearly and calmly why this is important to you.

SMS to husband after a strong quarrel

If you decided to text, then, apparently, your fault predominated in the conflict. In general, this option is good when your spouse clearly does not want to engage in dialogue or it is difficult for you to find the right words in a personal conversation.

By the way, SMS can be replaced with a message on social networks:

Start by admitting that it is very difficult for you mentally because you had a quarrel. Apologize to your spouse, admit that you were wrong in the situation, and feel remorseful.
Don’t try to make him feel guilty by throwing off all responsibility for the quarrel - this can only push him away from you even more.
Let him know that you will wait for his decision, and that you would really like everything to be fine in your relationship.

Have you ever been unable to get a response to your message? Then try calling your husband after a while. If in this case he ignores you, the main thing you have done is to convey to him that you repent of the quarrel.

What to do if you are at fault?

How to make peace with your husband if you are the one who is wrong in the current situation? Yes, yes, dear ladies, sometimes we too are to blame for quarrels and scandals, and men find themselves in the role of victims. And you should not expect that your man is guided by the motto of the French writer de Croisset: “When a woman is wrong, ask her for forgiveness.” Take the initiative into your own hands!

There is no need to immediately rush to the man with an apology. Now he is indignant, angry and generally looks like the angry movie Wolverine. Give him time to calm down, cool down and think a little, otherwise he simply will not hear your sincere apologies. After your husband is in a normal state of mind, begin active actions.
Ask for forgiveness with dignity. It is impossible to solve all the problems at once, but it is necessary to demonstrate to the man your repentance. Of course, there is no need to follow your spouse around and beg for “redemption,” because the number of times you say “sorry” does not determine how quickly he will forgive you. Just offer to talk, thereby starting the reconciliation mechanism.
Write an SMS. Some consider this method of apology childish, but it can become the beginning of a serious conversation. Send your beloved an SMS with poems, pictures, a hint of a pleasant evening. This will probably help make amends in case of a slight quarrel. In the event of a serious conflict, SMS will help arrange a meeting.
Have a romantic evening. Are you thinking about how to make peace with your husband? An effective method of apologizing is a romantic evening. There is no point in describing it in detail. You will need wine, candles, rose petals (if appropriate) and, of course, erotic lingerie. The method of making peace in bed is more suitable for young spouses, but experienced couples can also try it.
Invite company. Another trick is to invite friends or your mother-in-law to visit. In such good company, a man will be able to relax and, unnoticed by himself, will begin to communicate with you. Is this fair? Of course, it is more correct and decent to simply talk with your spouse, but if he refuses to make contact, such a workaround maneuver will do.

There are many ways to apologize and reconcile, but only you know your chosen one better than anyone in the world, which means it’s up to you to choose how to quickly make peace with your husband after a quarrel. We advise you not to delay the emotional conversation and tender kisses, because there is a high risk of hugging not your loved one, but a complete stranger. It is completely wrong to believe that the word “sorry” has no expiration date. Eat! Apologize and make peace with your husband on time.

For whom should spouses make peace?

When a couple is planning reconciliation, honest answers to a number of questions are critical:

For what purposes is this being done?
For children?
For the sake of the parents' peace of mind?
Because family is “sacred” and must be tolerated?
Because there is no separate housing?

It must be admitted that each of these motivations is not that effective. When feelings become dull and reconciliation becomes more difficult, the spouse moves away more and more. “Be patient for the sake of the children” does not always help. Children grow up, and husband and wife have to be alone with each other.

It is important not to endure for an abstract reason, but to re-evaluate your husband by answering the questions:

Why did I choose him?
What attracted me to him?
What is there in it that I have already stopped noticing?
What resources can revive old feelings?

What remedies help:

If in the past the bride chose a groom with many original ideas, there is no need to complain that he has not changed and to this day, instead of a dishwasher, he brings into the house an extremely expensive tent for camping “with the whole family.” Often, exactly what attracted and pleased at first becomes the cause of discontent in the family. The non-standard behavior of the spouse does not fit into the classical model of behavior. He doesn't behave "like normal people." The foundation of the family is cracking. Both women (get married and settle down) and men who expect a purposeful and ambitious young lady to devote herself entirely to caring for her husband and children can have unjustified expectations.
It’s worth thinking: is it the spouse who doesn’t change or is it our needs that change and he doesn’t keep up with them?
It happens that spouses turn into role-playing programs and lose themselves. Spouses, parents, “masters of the house” are replacing “man and woman.” Romantic feelings are important and necessary. Rethinking your relationship with your spouse as with a beloved man is the most important recipe for high-quality reconciliation.

Causes of family conflicts

We know that every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. There can be a great many reasons why your relationship with your husband has become bad. But the first misunderstandings between spouses usually arise during the wife’s pregnancy and the appearance of an heir. Even if the husband is incredibly happy about the addition to the family and is looking forward to the birth of the baby, he may not understand why his wife began to have sudden mood swings, and she often gets irritated over trifles. And then the child comes to the fore, and the spouse feels useless and deprived of female attention.

Couples who have survived childbirth and all the moments associated with it with honor may have quarrels due to the man’s excessive control. No one likes it when they call you a hundred times a day, demanding an account of every step, checking your expenses, the veracity of your words, getting into your phone, or even spying on you.

And if one of the spouses tries to remake his other half in his own image and likeness, depriving him of his own “I,” spoiled relationships and even rebellion on her part cannot be avoided.

Finding out who is the boss in the house, that is, who does more for the family, earns money, and therefore has the decisive right to vote, gives rise to resentment and loss of desire to be together.

And it’s completely unclear how you can make peace with your husband if he cheated on his wife.

Overcome the pain of injustice

Feelings of burning resentment and unabated pain prevent you from forgiving. It is very difficult to change oneself. Therefore, new conflict situations remind us of traumas from the past. What to do? Should we forget past grievances and, in spite of everything, reconcile? Or wait until time heals the wounds and the situation becomes clearer?

What remedies help:

There is no need to rush where time can heal wounds. Adultery, betrayal of a loved one, really take a long time to figure out in which direction to move next. Determine your vision of the prospects, how your relationship can develop, whether it has a chance. It is important to soberly assess: can you forgive, live under the same roof with this person and trust him?
When spouses “take a break” in order to calm down and better understand themselves, it is necessary to stipulate the timing - after what time and where to meet. The feelings with which the spouses await the meeting will tell a lot.
