Ashiunto. It would be easier to deal with your questions if you used a larger font.

I've never heard or seen the expression "meet one's halfway" and I don't know what it could mean. The expression I know is "meet someone halfway" and I think this is the one you want.

Sorry, it's' my negligence. Now, I rewrite the sentences with larger font as following.

(1) We had a serious dispute which caused an irreconcilable conflict among us.
(2) Each of us stuck to her own view.
(3) And no one consented to meet her halfway.
