Where you rub

In conflict
Streams smooth tension with humor and care more about keeping the peace than being right. Whirlwinds act fast to fix a problem, often on their own, and open up best with a set time to talk. Neither of you rushes in, so the real risk is an issue going unspoken. A standing check-in keeps things honest.
Making it work
- Set a regular check-in, since left to itself neither of you will start the hard conversation.
