To Fight or Not to Fight?

This morning as I was listening to the radio they were talking about tactics couples use when they fight. Women are elaborate in their tactics. They can be passive aggressiveness, threatening or just be psycho--sometimes all three if you're a lucky guy. Guys are the type that will say screw you, go off and do their own thing and then deal with the issue when she's SANE. But the one method being spoken about this morning was the silent treatment. Now I don't know about you, but the silent treatment just wouldn't work out well for me.

1. I'm big mouthed
2. I'm too opinionated; therefore I always have something to say
3. I don't like there being tension for a prolonged period of time, so I'll probably be the first to break

It's kinda sad though how some people reserve to this and it doesn't get them anywhere to begin with. What a waste of time...if you're gonna be such an ass about it, just dump the person then.

One ridiculous case I heard was about some woman who had been giving her husband the silent treatment since December 29th. Now what i'd like to know is...WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO? That is an awfully long time to ignore someone you are living with and if it had to go on this long, they should have called it quits at least last month.

I can barely go one night being entirely mad at my boyfriend because I don't like conflict as much as I may be the one who instigates it...lol. Hypocritical yes, but I'm still big enough to admit when I'm wrong and apologize. Going to bed mad is unacceptable to me, plus I'd rather not continue reducing the number of hours I sleep because I already look like a zombie from "Dawn of the Dead".

All kidding aside, if people could just set their egos aside, they'd see how easy it is to get rid of that burden on your chest and move it along. I'm sure there are other things that your energy could focus on.
