      Forgot which marriage book I read from, but they advocate solving the conflict in the shortest period time too instead of letting everyone cool off and think that a problem is resolved.

      Haha.. winth, If you happen to remember the title of the book that you read, pls let me know OK. šŸ™

      I may decide to get it for buds as her Bday present.. :lol:

      Aiya, obviously from your case with buds, buds gave in what... If not wouldn't be happily married right? Jedamum too, and now me too. So that's 3 ladies against 2 men (yourself and 3boys). šŸ˜‰
      I guess you're wrong about that... If you recall from the story that I told, I was the one who was frantically trying to resolve the matter.

      Aniwae... Attention ALL Guys.. I need some BACK UP here!!! šŸ˜“

          Its just good to read up on these issues so as to better prepare ourselves
          if we ever face them.. 😐

          there is a saying \"With knowledge comes GREAT power!!\" :evil:

            I belong to the MUST RESOLVE b4 going to bed type. Once we had a big arguement and went to bed angry cos when try to talk it out and ended up getting into bigger arguements. We tried to sleep, but ended up just tossing and turning and after about an hour, I just had enough. So I woke up, make 2 cups of hot chocolate with mini mashmellows, bring it to bed, call DH's name gently and told him we need to talk, in a calm and mature manner, no yelling (which is normally me :politebleah: ) or just keeping mum and giving huge stares (which is him and boy does he got some big eyes :!: ). We talked and talked and ended up with make-up :hugs: šŸ’‹ :snuggles: .....


            So thereafter, we always resolve b4 going to bed or else he knows that he won't be getting any sleep till I m able to sleep. And me the type can't sleep when got issues hanging in the air feeling angry, upset......

            Lucky for me, DH is the very non-judegemental type of person. He always keep an open view about most things, where me the one who most times stubborn and sometime refuse to admit defeat... šŸ˜›

              DH will sulk & give silent treatment. He's the type who never apologise even if he's wrong (from my perspective).


              I cannot tahan unpleasant feelings so always ended up prompting him to unzip his mouth. He still doesn't say sorry even though he realises his stubborness but I can tell from his body language that he thinks I am right (AGAIN, as usual)

              Men & their ego :roll:

                  This is why some of my friends advise, if there
                  ever is a dispute or an issue to settle with the
                  other half, settle it on the bed. :evil:

                  It has worked for me lah. So i can say it does
                  work. šŸ˜‰ Bonding brings closeness mah..

                    Everytime we settle the conflict, somehow there will be some action after that... :roll:
