On Monday night I had the wonderful opportunity to see Sir Paul McCartney live in my college town. It was…I literally have no words. I mean it’s Paul Freakin’ McCartney. So basically since Monday I have been listening to all my Beatles songs on repeat. Today, I was pissed off. Like mad beyond belief. I can’t find my Michael Kors watch that I got from Stephen for Christmas. That’s when “Let It Be” came on my shuffle. It was like someone was calling from my radio and telling me to drop it.
Basically, I think that women and men should learn to let things be. Some time ago, some moron decided to make a book about how to deal with relationships and in that book he wrote that you should never go to bed mad at your partner. Men, at least the men I’ve been with, take that shit seriously. Stephen literally NEVER lets me just have five minutes. So I just get more mad because he needs to solve the fight RIGHT NOW and I have a short fuse so I usually (read: always) say something that I don’t mean.
I think something that often gets over looked in relationships is how to fight well. I can’t stand when people are in a relationship and they tell me that they never fight. I know that I’m stubborn and that often causes more problems than someone with a different temperament, but I can’t believe that two people NEVER have an argument. But the point, to me, isn’t about never fighting with your significant other. It’s about learning to fight WELL with them.
Like I stated before, Stephen is learning how to leave me alone when I ask for it. But on top of that, I’m learning not to say things that are rude in the heat of the moment just because I’m pissed off. That way when we do argue we can get to the root of the problem and actually solve it instead of spending the night throwing insults at each other.
I think it’s obvious that we’re going to fight. And I’m not always going to be able to keep my mouth shut and not lash out against him. But I think if all bold girls can just remind themselves to let it be every once in a while it could spare quite a bit of hurt feelings.
