First minor fight...
| Tue, 03-02-2004 - 9:33am |
My OW and I had our first fight last night. It wasn't anything major, more a misunderstanding than anything else. I was trying to explain my fears to her and I ended up accidentally dismissing her fears in the process. I didn't get that at the time though. What I was expecting was for her to tell me everything would be okay and instead she got angry and was quiet. Once I understood the way I made her feel I did apologize, but it turns out she doesn't get over things very quickly. This was my first exposure to her when she is angry and it scared me a bit. I'm the kind of person who wants to talk things out and I forgive and move on easily with someone I love. She appears to be very different and need time to get past things. I'm sure everything will be fine today, but I absolutely hated going to bed last night knowing I upset her. Being this far apart from her, I feel like I have to keep things positive all the time. I can't be there to work through difficult times. How do I deal with negative situations like this? And should I worry that we resolve disagreements differently?

Maybe she's also feeling the sting of your first disagreement, and isn't sure how to approach. Give her a little time. From all accounts, you guys have a solid thing going on. Trust it, and you, a little more. I think you're amazing. She'll call!
philly, honey, this type of board will ALWAYS exist, because human beings are incredibly selfish when it comes to love, sex and satisfaction.
