When my mother in low was for sick, I encouraged her. I found a good doctor and payed for her blood test. I calmed her down, told to her more and told, that everything will be OK, and she get well soon.
My husband often thinks up different ideas, that I don't like. He tries to persuade me, that these are good ideas and we must do what he thinks up. I don't want, that's why firstly I try to find a compromise. If he doesn't agree to it, I am forced to insist on my point of view. In such situations we can argue and finally stop talking to each other for several times.
