Most of the time I used to say all the mean things I was thinking and something little would become WW3 in our house. Now that I think about things and give myself time to cool-off over the small things, I realize that most of the time what I was upset about was not that big of a deal to begin with. BTW: maybe you should think about buying the 18 ct carton of eggs next time LOL! :) It has taken years for me to learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes during situations like this one.

I definitely hold my tongue for awhile (most of the time). I find that if I fight with him in my head for awhile, I either get over it, or I get better prepared to argue/discuss it later. We call it "the moment of silence" and it prevents us both from saying things that we don't mean. .-= Meg at Demanding Joy´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/demandingjoy/~3/Qm8oe6XUjPg/" rel="nofollow">Words of Encouragement</a> =-.

I love omelette. My husband has eggs for breakfast AND/OR lunch, so I don't get to eat omelette much anymore for dinner because that would really be egg overload. I have learned to always check the egg box. I have also explained that eating the last two eggs, for either of us, must be a no-no, because I run a B&B and often need those organic eggs for guests. .-= Alexandra´s last blog ..<a href="http://chezsven.blogspot.com/2010/01/whats-happening-in-wellfleet.html" rel="nofollow">What’s Happening in Wellfleet?</a> =-.

When my husband and I have arguments... he often recognizes that the ONLY productive thing that can happen is to stop talking and walk away. Because sometimes in the heat of the moment, neither of us can back down. Neither of us can say, as rational people should, I'm sorry. So I've always been the type to talk through things in the moment. Because I know if I take time to cool off, I'm going to let it go. And I had let too many things go over the few short years that we have been married. Anyway, I understand (much better these days!) the need to take some time to cool off before talking things out. I no longer force my husband to stay and talk when he says "we should talk about this later". Worse.
