In your relationship(s), what is something you NEVER do when arguing?


Personally, I’m not a name-caller, nor do I say mean things just for the sake of angering her, I do not say things that I have to go back later and apologize for having said.

  • Same as you when it comes to keeping my cool as far as what comes out of my mouth.  I try to keep it civil...for the most part I do my best to avoid the confrontation in the first place, lol. I can tell you I definitely don't try to magically electrocute her like the dude in the picture is.

    Don't like to argue but if it's important I will stand my ground.
    However, a negotiator like my BFF can be very persuasive.  If 
    I'm wrong I'll admit it.  If I'm right, well.... I usually am.  :  )

      Wait, when did I say that I don’t lose my cool?

    Oh. Now...I have never called you stupid or anything similar. 
    If I thought you were not intelligent I would not bother with you.

    If you are so wonderful, why are you arguing?

      Because I’m wonderful at arguing, that’s why. Want to test me out?

    Just because I disagreed with that statement does NOT give any proof that I always disagree.  That is one example. I need all of the examples.

    I used to be good on Answer Bag.    That is when I was younger and filled with energy.  I liked to flirt, but the thrill is gone.  I mean I'm 70.  You don't care about flirting when you are 70.  You care about finding a good handyman.  Someone to fix things and go away.  


    There is an old song by Neil Young A man needs a maid.  Just someone to keep my house clean fix my meals and go away.

    It's like that now.  Help me or go away.   This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at September 25, 2019 8:36 AM MDT
