When one of you is mad, sometimes both of you NOT talking stops the escalation of a fight into a "kitchen sink" battle, where you throw in things from 20 years ago. Not only is it OK to go to bed mad, it's ok not to talk for 2-3 days if that's what it takes to get back to the single issue one is mad about. Some of my favorite words are: "I'm tired of being mad." THEN we can get to what the issue was, which usually has simmered down to merely annoying, rather than life-shattering. Like / Dislike: Thumb up 0 Thumb down 0
