This month, we're doing a deep dive series into letting things go—arguments, unattainable standards, you name it! You can find the playlist with all of the episodes in the series here.

Having the same fight doesn’t mean your relationship is broken. But it is totally annoying. In this episode we discuss the modes of negativity at play when we repeat the same conflicts- and what we can do to break the cycle, whether it’s our partners or kids.

Conflict may be unavoidable- but it can be at least a little more productive.

Here are links to some of the takes on this topic that we discuss in this episode:

• Esther Perel for Cosmopolitan: How to Stop Having the Same Fight With Your Boyfriend All the Time
