  1. If she needs to talk, let her vent to you. If she wants to yell, take her outside so she can scream and shout as much as she wants. The more she works through her emotions, the quicker she’ll be able to feel happy again.[1]
    • Say things like, “Tell me about what happened,” or, “Just let it all out.”

  1. If a girl is mad at you because of something you did, the best way to make her happy is to say that you’re sorry. However, if you aren’t sorry (or you think you didn’t do anything wrong), keep talking with her and explain your side of the issue.[6]
    • If you’re apologizing, say something like, “I’m really sorry I didn’t answer your calls all day. I was super busy at work and I forgot to plug my phone in, so it died.”
    • If you don’t think you should apologize, say something like, “I understand that you’re angry, but I did tell you that I’d be busy today. I can’t be on my phone at work all the time.”

    Take time to really sit down and listen to your partner. Listen as they explain how they were hurt, and why they didn't feel heard or understood. Then, put aside your pride and apologize for any hurtful things that you said.

    Name-calling can be very damaging. When you name-call someone, you're ultimately putting them in a box and making them feel bad.

    Not necessarily. Think of it this way—every argument that you have is like a crack in your relationship. Over time, enough cracks will break your relationship apart.
