How to Stop Fighting With Your Girlfriend

Video Transcript

"In Thailand, they have a sport called Thai kick boxing. It is awesome. How to stop fighting with your girlfriend. This is Doctor Paul, author of "Boomer Girls, A Boomer Woman's Guide To Men and Dating", and host of "Ask Doctor Paul". I would highly recommend that if you are going to fight with a girlfriend, make certain that she's probably not Thai. Because from children up, by edict of the King some several hundred years ago, all Thai children learn kick boxing. You do not want to go there. So I would say suggestion number one is, if you're going to fight with your girlfriend and she's a better fighter than you are, then I wouldn't go there. Okay? And if you're going to fight with your girlfriend, certainly don't put her on a physical level, keep it on a verbal level. Now that you've gotten to the verbal level, let me make another suggestion. Go for counseling if you both feel that this relationship is worth keeping. If it's worth salvaging, then you need outside help, okay? You need to have some sort of counseling. If this woman or this man together seems to be worthwhile, that counselor will tell you. From my opinion, he will say or she will say, I think you have something here that will work. And in the event that you want to continue with this, I think I can help you. Or that counselor might say I cannot help you. So if it's worth keeping, the point is, it probably is not going to be done on your own. That person may give you books to read, which is a good thing if you both read the book and then you follow through. Because really what happens with fighting and how to avoid it, is that you're setting up a pattern. Once you break that pattern, then you can get back to a normal relationship and not have a dysfunctional relationship. This is Doctor Paul, may your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
