      Anyway,we always so busy until no time to quarrel coz no time to talk


      My cold war with hubby has ended. I started the pillow talk before he falls asleep. It is the only time I get his full attention. A few nights of pillow talk cleared up many issues.

      Jennifer, :hugs: .......

        The common things start are financial, kids and parents in law

          You MUST make some alone time. Your kids won't suffer for a little less attention once in a while, they WILL suffer if your marriage falls apart.
          Agree!
          One of the best gifts we can give to our children is a loving relationship with our spouse.

            Best to settle everything before going to bed.

            I am in fear of cold war, its so awkward and chilly, its no fun for everyone - the parents and the kid(s). :hugs:
            When all else fails, give each other a hug, you will be surprise how the physical contact can dissipate the tension bottled up inside.

            Cold war that last too long will become contempt and that is hard to reverse and very bad for the relationship.

                Agree with Osim about the hugging point. Hugs can instantly boost oxytocin levels, which heal feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anger. Holding a hug for an extended time lifts one’s serotonin levels, elevating mood and creating happiness.


                Hug your spouse today if you’re in the midst of a cold war!

                  During a cold war, I barely want to look my husband in the eye; how to hug him?!

                      in a cold war now. i don't even want to see his face. hug him? no way.

                      as long as he doesn't know the cause of the cold war, no way will i forgive him. he can be so bloody dense.

                      the part which made me totally pissed is when he said i have a big mouth for saying he has been retrenched and asked around. 好心给雷劈.

                        You don't explain then how he knows
                        Men typically not too sensitive to mood or cause of trigger :siam:
