clear the air

When two people are arguing or having a misunderstanding, 'clearing the air' means having an honest discussion about feelings in order to move past the conflict.

Person A: "I think we need to clear the air after what happened the other day."
Person B: "Alright. What do you want to say?"
Person A: "The other day when you said what you said, it really hurt me."
Person B: "I only said that because you hurt me by saying what you said."
Person A: "Oh I see. Well, I'm sorry I said that. I didn't mean anything bad by it."
Person B: "That's okay. I'm sorry too."

clear the air

make the air less sultry.

Guy talking with girlfriend about his ex.

GF: We started dating, like, a year after you broke up.

Guy: Yeah, but that doesn't matter with her.
Guy: She's got a crazy streak, and this is bound to set her off.
Guy: What if she hurts me physically?
Guy: What if she hurts me with words?

GF: Just talk to her. Clear the air.
