Competitive
Mindset
·
She/He needs to
say I’m sorry before I’ll speak to her/him again.
·
I’m going to
teach him a lesson, he’s definitely not “getting any” for a week.
I am right, I’m always right and he/she has to come round to my way of thinking even if I have to make ram it down her/his throat.
·
It’s my way or
the highway
·
I am a better
parent than she/he is.
·
I should have
listened to my mother, she told me not to marry her/him.
·
This is outside
our budget and a bit over the top but I’m going to buy it anyway and I don’t
need to check in with her/him first after all it’s my money.
· I really don't like his/her family, I can’t stand them and
I will not make any effort to get on with them.

Team
Mindset
·
We need to talk
and resolve the issue so we don’t go to bed angry.
·
I am not going
to make him/her pay a price for not agreeing with me. Withholding sex is
manipulative.
·
We don’t see
this the same way so we will just agree to disagree.
I am willing to compromise and meet him/her halfway We need to talk about our vision for our children so that we are on the same page when parenting them. Being critical of each other is bad for our home. My marriage is blessed and I am with the person I am supposed to be with. He/she’s not perfect but neither am I.
·
I will just run
this by him/her before I spend this amount of money to make sure its ok with
them because regardless of who earns what its OUR money and I value his/her
opinion.
·
His/ her family
is part of who he/she is and I might not get on with them but I will at least
make an effort for his/her sake.
