Miscommunication - Root Cause of Problems?People of two opposing ideas can stir up arguments and fights. It's that situation when one thinks he has
right concept while
other one also believes he has
proper notion. Both of them would try to outsmart each other until one claims victory.
Here's an actual example.
My spouse would sometimes buy me signature clothing. When my Mom founds out how much it costs, she would advise us to budget our money and just buy
affordable ones.
A problem occurs when my spouse thinks that her effort to give me
best was unappreciated. Mom, on
other hand, would think that my spouse is such a spender.
