Short advice-style YouTube video (by Jacqueline Elliott) about rules for "fighting fair" in romantic relationships. The speaker contrasts healthy couples—who fight to resolve problems and not to score personal victories—with unhealthy couples—who fight to win, hold grudges, bring up historical grievances, or aim to be the last to speak. The stated purpose of fighting is to solve a problem so it need not recur.

Chapters

There are rules to fighting, so you ask that. So I believe in fighting fair. There's healthy couples. They fight for resolution. Right? Not for personal victory. So unhealthy couples fight to win for personal victory, and they just want to prove their point. So they're just waiting to just say what they want to say. And they say, hey, you know what? I made my point. I'm the last one to speak. I. I made my point, and I'm done. They're not fighting fair. No, they're not fighting fair, or they're getting historical, and they're saying, you know, you know, I remember when you did this. Or they're not letting things go. If you're gonna fight about something, fighting is to solve a problem that doesn't have to be brought up later.
