    We all go mad at each other from time to time....

    After a real ding dong fight, what was the longest it took you to make up?

    I have always found it intriguing that the one we love the most, usually gets the nastiest things said to them.

    Do you decide that in spite of being right, its just not worth pushing your side?

    Andy and I adore and respect each other too much to row. He is an INFP. I am an ENFP. We pretty much agree about anything important. The beauty of this is that we don't accumulate lists of slights that turn into giant, deadly snow balls over the years. We aren't together as we used to be due to his accident and disabilities, but he spends every weekend with me and he's as sweet as he can be.

    I have a very firm policy of being sweet, patient and giving good communication to any of my former husbands or boyfriends. I feel that in this way, they will not regret knowing me and the time they invested in me. I get good, respectful treatment this way.

    It's been so long since I was in my second marriage and way the heck longer since my first. I don't remember how long it took to make up with the first one. I remember that my second marriage was at a stalemate. By the time he wanted to patch things up, I'd given up. I didn't desire a marriage repair any longer. When he filed for divorce, I just hired a lawyer. I don't regret it at all. I am far more healthy and happy NOT being under the thumb of a JW man.

    When I was married, I dunno, 3 or 4 days if we had a fight. We wouldn't talk and would make it known we were pissed. One of the perks of being single is not fighting with anyone!!

    I will not ever date or marry a man who wants to fight or argue again. I found out with Andy and someone else that men and women can communicate well and get along even better. So I don't have to ever settle for less.

    Am I the only one wondering what ROWS is?

    I have always found it intriguing that the one we love the most, usually gets the nastiest things said to them.

    That's easy, it's because love (in the sense of attraction) and hate are on the same continuum, and you are entangled (umm, in an emotional sense) with the person. So in that sense even the nastiness (in the sense of being mean etc - we know what else that could mean) is also an expression of that bond, otherwise you wouldn't care.
