Answer Below:
Unresolved Conflicts: Unresolved conflicts are conflicts that have not found solution yet. Conflicts, which yet needs to be discussed and solved or may have been discussed but yet both the parties were unable to find a concrete solution for the same. One such instance which we (me and my wife) are facing these days is related to our job as well our personal life. I and my wife are working with the same organisation and on top of that in the same department. While initially (before marriage), we were happy about this and enjoyed each other’s company a lot, things have slightly changed after marriage. What appears to be good (working in the same office and spending maximum time with each other), has somehow actually become a negative point in our personal life. It so happens that at the end of the day, we guys are not having much to talk at home, much to discuss. As we spend almost all of the day together, we spend the evening quietly at home. Also, my mixing up with female colleagues doesn’t go well with her. She gets much irritated when I could not give time to her but have to listen to other colleagues as a matter of concern/duty. She even thinks I ignore her in front of colleagues, which I explained I sometimes do in front of boss just to show that we are professionals and don’t divulge our personal life’s. We discussed this in detail and I came up with a solution that either of us needs to switch jobs. If we work together this problem shall come up again and again. However, she disagreed and said, things shall be better soon. Over the time, things were better for few days but the same problems came up again and again. Now the situation is we had discussed this issue a lot of times but each time she doesn’t want to move ahead with the solution I have mentioned and neither she have a solution of her own. As a result, this conflict ends up with the same climax of us getting frustrated over this and dropping it finally. The problem is still unresolved and is hampering our relationship.
