Compare TWO ways how destructive relationships influence your
well-being as opposed to constructive relationships.

Constructive conflict resolution is characterized by a) open discussion of conflicting topics, the free and positive expression of emotions b) a concerted effort to reach a solution to the conflict.

Mutual avoidance and restraint are inherent in partners who ignore the existence of a problem, or in no way work to resolve an existing problem.

Specfic form of destructive relationship seems to be that one person tries to involve the other in discussing the problem by criticizing, complaining, and proposing change, while her partner tries to avoid or end the conversation by changing the subject, silence, or leaving the situation.

Of these styles of communication during conflict, only a pattern of constructive communication is associated with the pleasure and quality of an intimate relationship, while a pattern of mutual avoidance of discussion and restraint, and a pattern in which one partner requires change and the other withdraws predictive of divorce and termination. (according Christensen, A., & Walczynski, P. T. (1997).

Explanation:

Constructive quarrels allow both parties to express their feelings and usually end up with a compromise or outcome that everyone is comfortable with. Destructive quarrels always return to the same known problems, return to the circle trapped in five always the same patterns of behavior.
