1. People aren't psychic, they can't read your mind. Be assertive and discuss problems as they come up.
  2. Every problem is not someone else's fault . Own up to your own mistakes.
  3. Don't be defensive. Listen to what he has to say and if you're wrong, own up and apologize.
  4. If you can't seem to express yourslef verbally, e-mailing may be a good way to go. Just don't dwell and rant just because you're not face to face. Stay restrained.
  5. Once you've settled your argument, make peace by renting a good movie or getting her some candy.
