      I keep telling you not to let things get that far. Sheesh, you never listen to me, that’s the problem.

    When one or both cease discussing the issue and start blaming and criticising.
    When one or both stop listening, interrupt or raise the volume and speed of speech.

      When people focus on wanting to hurt the other party instead of merely getting information across or merely seeking information.

      When the name-calling starts.

      “You know what?  I’m done, I’m not putting up with this anymore, so that’s IT!  I absolutely forbid you to see Randy D any more, to talk with him, to have anything to do with him whatsoever. He’s mine, all mine, and I won’t have you or anyone else sneaking in on my territory. From now on, he is 100% off limits to you!  Go find your own!  Grrrrrrrr.”
