David (Owen), I agree with you entirely about raising issues for discussion in order to clear the air. Unfortunately, I've been labelled 'aggressive' for raising topics which the other parties (mainly family members) find difficult to discuss. My Mother and parents-in-law were always very difficult when it came to talking about things in any depth, and all of them resorted to childish behaviour (insults, silent treatment, withdrawal of privileges) rather than indulge in proper discussion. Being a very open, honest person, I find it extremely hard to deal with those who 'bottle up' their feelings, and that makes me angrier than if they just came out and said something which I might find unpleasant. I know I'm probably in a very small minority, but the way I look at it, it's being dishonest and giving a false impression to cover things up and pretend that things are fine, when really you're seething. I have far greater respect for people who are honest with me. Dave B, I think you have the right attitude - air your differences, then keep on friendly terms afterwards, if possible. X CB >|< |

I do love a good ol barney (specially at that time of the month), but hubby will not play that little game with me. He wont argue, it dont matter what subject I pick or how ratty I am, he just walks into another room and yes I do follow but he totally ignores me or does something to make me laugh. He is a true GEM and I love him loads. |

This will probably come as a shock to those who know me but I do have a tendancy to be a bit feisty and fiery at times... I don't go out of my way to start arguments but I do sometimes enjoy participating in a verbal debate. Plus when arguing with a partner... at least you can look forward to making up afterwards! love becx |
