Siggy's Blurbs: Siggy's Edge of Country …

Every time I had a fight with my girl friend I used to think our relationship was over. I had to learn a fight meant there was something that had to be worked out. Of course, I had to learn how to fight fairly and not attack my partner in the process. Sometimes when the argument became too heated, I had to wait until both of us calmed down. I was not always good about that. I had to learn to wait awhile before continuing the discussion, again.

It is easy to become angry and harder to hold your tongue.  Patience is a virtue.  It is easy to react in anger.  And anger can get in the way.  I know that.  I am working on that.

And when the other erupts, sometimes the best course of action is not to say anything but let her words wash over you.  And let her calm down.  You can’t discuss issues when tempers are flaring.

And words sometimes hurt.  When both of you have calmed down and neither feel threatened the timing is better to discuss conflict.  It is harder in practice of course but it is worth trying.
