not to quibble b/c I know you are really trying here.
but I have to say, No one likes confrontation. No one likes conflict.
So it always irks me when someone says "I'm conflict avoidant" or "I don't like confrontation" b/c it implies that it's easy for some and hard for others.
I have a h who has said that and I told him once, long ago, "me neither. But I won't keep hiding behind that excuse."
We all have to be a bit, or a lot, braver. The conflicts are there whether or not we face them.
If we don't face them, the conflicts always ALWAYS get worse, they do NOT go away or improve on their own.
I guess that's really my point.
good luck!
