yes, the above is unavoidable between couple/spouses (or between friends, families, business partners, etc etc). that applies for us too.
which got me thinking, when we are involved in an argument, how will we be reacting? is it:
1. The Cold War
there will be no talking between each other. unless really really really needed. no apologies, will not even voice out even when a nine inch nail are stuck in your eye balls. more talking will only generate more arguments.
like the Cold War between US and Soviet Union, both sides are keeping ammunitions and threaten to blast each others asses off if there’s any movement.
there will be lots of spying on each other (whether to see if the other half is doing ok or otherwise).
you will be waiting for the other half to apologize or fly the white flag. if there’s a party who is willing to let of of his/her ego and surrender, good. the war has ended.
if not, good luck~~~
2. Epic fights
forget about keeping ammunitions and all that. it’s time to fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee (to quote from Muhammad Ali).
in fact, feel free to bite of your partners ears off (or any part that your teeth can reach) if you are the losing side.
diplomacy does not exist in this kind of arguments. the moment it started, expect bruises, blood or even bits of flesh!
in my opinion, if it gets to this level, this relationship will not last long (if at all)…
3. Barking dogs never bite
this will be the complete opposite of the Cold War. in this kind of argument, all kinds of fact/fiction will be blurted or screamed out, whether intentionally or not.
in some extreme case, there will be some explicit coming out too. no joke, i’ve seen my grandmother saying it to my grandfather!!! that was eye opening experience for me. not to mention ear-opening as well.
i think this type of argument is very common among those who had been together for quite some time. this is very prevalent especially among eldery.
it is a quite-safe type of argument (in my opinion) but if left uncontrolled, it will definitely lead to Epic Fight…
4. Monkey See Monkey Do…
this does not even qualify as an argument in the first place. more like a revenge. and i think only females will do it.
“you sleep with other girls, i will sleep with other guys”. fair play…
no physical or word fights are involved. maybe you will be greeted with smiles too!!!
this kind of fight is bad coz people will not know what had went wrong though…
5. let’s break up…
ah… the dreaded word that some seemed to say it out when the argument is petty.
in my opinion, there are some thing that you should not say it, regardless of whether you are furious or not.
not to worry, their wish will come true soon enough when they say it often…
that’s all that i’m going to list down. i can’t think and am too lazy to think of more. anymore that you can list down?
or more importantly, which type are you?
