In "The First Seven Years" by Bernard Malamud, the central conflict of the plot is resolved at the end of the story when Feld decides not to interfere in Sobel's relationship with Miriam.

Explanation:

At the end of the story Feld experiences change in the resolution of the conflict, since his opinion on Sobel as a possible suitor to Miriam is not positive at all, then after some analysis and dealing with his conflicts he comes to an agreement with Sobel to wait for a minimum of two years to start a courtship with Miriam.
