You fell in love with him, enough to move in with him. Even though you love him dearly, living under one roof can sometimes be testing for the both of you. Sooner or later, you’ll get into a squabble. When the inevitable happens, you want to minimize the impact of the argument and recover from it as quickly as possible. So, what can you do?
