A brief YouTube Short by Jacqueline Elliott giving relationship advice about handling fights constructively. The central rule: "if someone wins, no one wins." Guidance includes: don’t avoid conflict, don’t re-litigate past issues, fully express grievances in the moment, and avoid walking on eggshells — aim to grow together rather than keeping score.

We came up with one rule. And that rule is, if someone wins, no one wins. If you're in a relationship and you fight with your spouse and you win that fight, that celebration lasts about 15 seconds. And after that you feel like shit. Why? Because it shouldn't happen that way. You should grow together. So if someone wins, no one wins. But do not avoid a fight. Do not get historical about what was done. And you're going to learn to grow and not talk about it again. But you're going to let it all out. Do not walk on eggshells, ever.
