The Level of Conflict
In her book, Together: A Relationship Survival Kit, Virginia Downie claims conflicts in a relationship are natural and unavoidable. People are different and will never agree on
everything. Since no one feels happy and loving all the time, how can we expect our relationships to be harmonious all the time?
Downie says, “You have known couples, for instance, who swore they ‘never
fought or disagree,’ who seemed to be a perfect and enviable match but who ‘suddenly’ break up. You also know couples who seem to fight constantly, who, nevertheless, make it to the 50th anniversary seeming
‘non-the-worse-for-wear.’
“Why would this happen? Well, couple number one (who did not fight) was also not dealing with their differences, hurts, and disappointments, while couple number two (who often
seemed perched at the edge of disaster) was actually working through their problems and challenges.”
You can’t measure a relationship by the level of conflict. What’s important is how the conflict is
being handled.
The author goes on to provide a “nondefensive” self check list, such as asking for more information when your partner is upset, being accountable for your own mistakes, not giving in to
avoid accountability and conflict. Et cetera.
But I’ve seen cases where one partner is not willing to openly discuss their differences, hurts and disappointments. They repress them for years. Repression is
like standing on a life raft to hold it under water. Eventually you’re going to get tired of holding it down and the raft will surface. The person’s mate will probably be surprised and confused by this eruption
of frustration. “Why didn’t you tell me that bothered you so much?” they’ll say.
If you’re the person who is repressing or the mate of someone you suspect is repressing, I suggest you turn to a good
astrologer. Eruptions of frustration can usually be found in planetary cycles.
Some Saturn oppositions can indicate a mid-life crisis, a time you can be assured the repressed stuff will surface. Pluto hits
can turn your life upside down. Knowing your astrological challenges can provide forewarning. The awareness in itself won’t resolve anything, but you’ll learn what you’re dealing with, how long it’s going to
last and how both parties are likely to be affected.
Times of conflict are times for patience and compassion, as I’ve often talked about in this column. Realize that whenever you’re upset with someone
else, you have expectations of approval or control -- of the other person approving of your actions or reactions, or of controlling their actions or reactions. In other words, your expectations are in conflict with
what is.
When conflict arises, become an observer of your life. No judgment, blame or expectations. Just observe. What is, is your partner is venting, growing, trying to become who they need to be. Granted,
you can’t repress your own feelings, but ideally, because you understand what is, you can view the problem situation from a more self-actualized perspective. If your partner generates anger in you, refuse to
identify with the anger. The anger is not you, it’s your ego -- your fear -- your past programming.
Easier said than done? For sure. But if you view such challenges as karmic tests, winning the game is far
more important than getting to be right.
