Do you go with the flow or talk it over
When you're having issues or trying to figure out where your relationship stands with your S.O. do you talk it over or just go with the flow? Talking about it could make it too big of a deal, but not always, and you could just get your answer straight up. Going with the flow can keep things bottled inside and cause problems later, but there is also some fun is just finding out where it goes... What do you do?

Going with the flow got me in a lot of trouble. You always be assuming things when you "go with the flow." Few months later, my ex's feelings for me faded away, and she always kept this kind of thing bottled up. I never knew what was going on. Try to talk about it, I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

i like talking it over. like if he pretends it didn't happen then we start fighting. cause going with the flow doesn't resolve the issue. it's still there and you're ignoring it and it just makes it worse. and for me, i can't concentrate on things unless the issue is solved.

For me, it depends on the issue. If it is a light issue to me, then I go with the flow. It does feel more free to just see what happens sometimes. If that still doesn't feel right, or if it is a bigger issue that I know for sure is a problem for me then I hope to talk it out. I am always a very open communicator, but I try to recognize that sometimes other people are not! Sure, sometimes it may seem like talking about an issue makes it too big of a deal, but not if that is the way you always conduct yourself - then it just seems like normal conversation.
