What is another word for at cross-purposes with?
Pronunciation: [at kɹˈɒspˈɜːpəsɪz wɪð] (IPA) 
When we say that two people or groups are at cross-purposes with each other, it means that they have conflicting goals or agendas that are preventing them from understanding each other. Some synonyms for this phrase include being at odds with, conflicting with, opposed to, clashing with, out of sync with, and incompatible with. These phrases all convey the sense of two entities working against each other, rather than in harmony or cooperation. When we can recognize and articulate the source of the conflict or disagreement, we may be able to resolve it and find a way forward.
