It's the ice that gets me. I keep learning more about how to argue "well". Certainly not thriving on conflict, but working through contention can be an invaluable voyage of discovery and learning....and NOT just about each other.

It's the unresponsive recluse that drives me up a wall.


What do you do when other other person doesn't work through it? They are just the type to want to end the disagreement when they are losing or swear 'no more', but it's only to stop the argument?

However, when they feel wronged or upset about something, they are sure to bring everything back up or take something simple to the extreme?


Some people thrive on drama, fighting. I loathe confrontations and do all I can to keep things peaceful...others can't handle the peace. That is when we not walk, but run and never look back.

If the intent is for winning or losing....everyone loses. Certainly have learned to shelve until later if being unproductive. Just saying, one thing I HAVEN'T learned to deal with is the complete and permanent shutdown....utter lack of any communication, It's not a lesson anyone should HAVE to learn in a "loving' relationship.
