Dh and I had a wicked fight last week, I slept on the couch, etc. and we didn't speak much for a day or two, but now I notice we're both paying attention to the points the other one made even though we poo-pooed them at the time, and things are really nice and sweet again. Is it possible we just need to do this once in a while? It's not the first time it's happened, but it's not frequent, either. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I think it might be a good time now to actually calmly acknowlege this with your dh. [ Reply | More

Not at all. But since you say that you're both paying attention to the points the other made, acknowleging that at this time might be very productive. [ Reply | More

OP and oh--I see what you mean. Actually, I think we both see that the other is doing it, and that's fine. [ Reply | More

why not me? it just had to be one of us. I just went. No big deal. The fight was not all his fault or anything. Also, the couch is quite comfortable... [ Reply | More

I think it sounds like you needed this. Tell your dh what you just told us. FWIW, I think couples who say they never fight are delusional and hiding a great deal from each other. [ Reply | More
