Alternate phrase for "dealing with"

[caravan2]

I am using the phrase "dealing with _____" but it sounds a little dismissive. Is there a better phrase that comes to mind?

 

[SantaMufasa]

Can you give us more context...who, when, where, why is someone "dealing with" what? Context will help us help you "Thesaurize" the phrase.

The context is "how to deal with porn" on the internet. I've tried cope, contend, handle, but none seem to fit as well as deal.

 

[KenCunningham]

Instead of 'deal' do you mean disallowing access to such sites?

I want to be good, is that not enough?

 

[CajunCenturion]

Do you want to stay with general actions verbs, such as deal or handle, or would you be interested in more specific actions verbs, such as block or filter?

Or maybe finding an averb that helps shape the phrase. For example something like..
"how to deal competently with porn"

[tresanus]

How to deal with the high costs of porn?

 

[PaulBricker]

Sorry, that should be "adverb" in case it was confusing.

Actually, its how to "deal with it" in personal relationships. I don't want it to sound dismissive as in "just deal with it." Its an approach that respectfully considers the feelings on both sides of the issue.

Thanks for your input. I'll be glad to post a link to the blog when its ready to go public.

What about simply using the word approach?

I couldn't return to this thread before tresanus posted the verb that I advocate: address.

I second Santa's suggestion. (I came back into the thread to post it, but he beat me to it.)

Instead of saying "deal with it", you might want to say something like "work with it" or "work through it."

Example: "Honey, we'll have to work through my little issue with POTI."
