Do you know the difference between a conflict and a dispute? The second requires two people actually expressing the inevitable rubbing up of conflicting strategies; the first does not.
Are you using the energy of conflicts/disputes well such that you are getting better results and less violence (disconnection/demand/deserve thinking/denial of responsibility) each time. To do it differently this time try the free on-line walk-through of your situation via http://CommunicatingNeeds.org

What do you make of the #2066 #Timebanking Gallery?
(We're based at Southwater Area Community Centre, TN37 6LA).
You might, for example, come along to discuss or play "Yes to What? The #2066 #Timebanking Game".
The Gallery is open Mondays and Fridays from noon-6pm (or later by request).
To register your interest and thereby hasten the convening of meetings for the 20+ other locals who are interested in moving this forward for the welfare of all: http://stleonardstimebank.blogspot.co.uk/p/welcome-register-page.html
And for a general introduction to Timebanking from one of the national organisations who commissioned me to create a social media strategy for them, see: http://timebanking.org.uk
