I *can't* go to bed mad. I physically can't sleep with something unresolved like that.
That being said, I've really had to adjust to DH's argument style - he's an introvert and is NOT good at thinking on his feet, so it's much better if he gets a chance to think things over on his own for a bit before finishing a discussion. Me, however, I'm very fast on my feet in an argument and don't like to drop it until all is resolved, but my anger is really fleeting.
Both of us hate being wrong, tho. :rofl1:
Initially, I thought DH was stewing over the argument when he went silent (that's what my parents did, sometimes for hours), but now I know it's him thinking and if I just let him do that we can reach a resolution much faster.
We haven't had an actual yelling type argument in probably 2 years now, just some heated exchanges where words were sharp, but not loud.
