Complementary conflict styles occur when one partner avoids conflicts while the other is more assertive. This can be effective when the assertive partner handles most of the conflicts, but it can also lead to resentment and power imbalances. Symmetrical conflict styles occur when both partners are equally assertive or both avoid conflicts, which can result in more balanced, but potentially heated conflicts. Both complementary and symmetrical conflict styles can produce good or bad results, depending on how the partners handle their differences.
