Fighting tips?

I’m wondering how everyone deals with fights with their bf/gf. Lately when me and my bf have been fighting we usually get mad because we misinterpret what was meaning to be said. I get kinda petty and frustrated and I don’t want to talk to him. I just give up. We eventually will talk and work it out but may say things we don’t mean due to anger. Is there any tips on how to overcome this and improve communication skills/ any more advice to be given? Thanks girls💕
