What's fair and foul when you argue/have conflict with someone you care about like family, friends or significant others (SO)?

all is fair in love and war!
Truth is, your relatives are a bunch of people whom you only associate with because you have the same blood flowing through your veins. Chances are if you'd met them in another life, you might not have had anything to do with them. That being said, they are the only people you can curse out, cry to, laugh with, and generally accept their bs without question. Am in trouble and I need money; no need to explain in detail. I just ask and I get and so on. So let your true feelings be heard and don't hold back! Be they good or bad. Cheers!

Fair - using crying as a vaild point in an argument to win over
Foul - Using expletives in an argument and you mean them

I usually apply the silence principle especially when am seeing and hearing alot of unyokonyoko as long as it is not hindering my life. I always try my best not to utter a single word coz the moment I do, the volcano is out. I'll speak my mind and bluntly so and I tend to get angrier the more I or the other person talks.

The trick is to diffuse a volatile situation by giving gentle answers but at times, some people need harsh responses to get back their senses.

What I consider foul is making conclusions before knowing all the relevant information. Using reverse psychology or making the other person look like a villain when having an argument. Being inconsiderate. Using violence.

3 words:
Reach a compromise!

...otherwise, my side of the arguement (unless influenced by possible profit) is always correct.
