Talking calmly is often a nice way of bringing a tense situation to a faster resolution. It's like when some one is ranting, it's best to let them blow the wind our if their own sails offering some encouragement to do so, prior to trying to address it. If they go again, then the same...They tend to be easier to deal with after they get puffed out.
Or...Smackdown.
Ok, not really.
But really.
Not.
Or yes.
😊
The power of a calm, I can't say I know how you feel, but I can imagine,goes a long way.
I like your way of seeing the quote; there's always many ways to read them and I only select one that might be loosely relevant to me, or just interesting. Your way works, not going to argue. 😉
Also, I think I feel a little sorry for your hubby, on those occasions when he starts something. 🤪
Thank goodness for that. Keeps life interesting.
Lol. Don't. He can handle his own. He's got a lot more fire in his personality than I do. We have been together 16 years, and have only fought a handful of times, which lasted for about a day. We are pretty nonconfrontational people:)
Non-confrontational people make for a good mix in a marriage I'd say. Seems like you've got it worked out. ✅
After 16 years I would hope so - can't imagine bickering all those years. Sounds like you two fit the same category.
Bickering isn't good...Biscuiting is! 🙄
Is biscuiting in Australia the act of eating cookies (I'm never sure how much British-lingering you all have), or eating breakfast bread, or something else entirely?
I'm going with eating cookies, because that really is the best option.
Lol...Yeah, we generally call cookies biscuits although the use of cookie isn't unheard of.
So, bBiscuiting* is legit.
