Great point. I never thought about that but considering it it does actually signify a giant step.
Well I can happilly say that we have both developed some fighting skill (funny, that's what we do for a living) There is no undercutting, nothing childish and believe it or not a whole lot of listening is going on. The next day we actually were in a mood to work together constructively on fixing what we had fought over.
huh amazing. All these years I've avoided fighting, total conflict avoider (Ironic in a lot of ways isn't it?)
