Fighting With Your Significant Other

Here's the thing about guys and gals. Whenever we get into fights with our significant other, we automatically assume that we're right and therefore we want to win the argument more than anything.
Here's the problem, even if we're wrong, we continue to fight.

Guys: If your girl or guy starts crying, you know you've gone too far. Crying is the BODY'S reaction to feeling physical sadness, instead oe meotional sadness. It's okay to admit you were wrong (sometimes even if you weren't) and just hold her and tell her it'll be okay.

Girls: If your guy or girl starts throwing a temper tandrum, do your best to calm them down, no one wins in a fight that involves yelling and throwing random objects at each other.

Caution: Do NOT fight via text. It's the easiest way to end something without realizing what's happening. Call each other and talk it out, so you know exactly how the other person feels and exactly how you can try and fix the problem. It's hard to tell what someone's tone is when a text message is just letters and punctuation.

Recently, my significant other and I got into a pointless argument that ended up being a huge 3 hour fight. We had been fighting via text and things were getting pretty bad. Then, later on, I sent him a text saying "It's 11:11 and I wish you would call me." When he called me, I said hello, thinking he was going to be pissed, as his texts had appeared to be angry. I was very wrong. He had been crying hopelessly for the past 3 hours of our fight, not knowing what to say to make it better. When we talked on the phone, we both calmed down more and it became easier to get both of our points across without being insane about it.
I almost ended what has been the most wonderful relationship I've ever had, simply because texting is a useless tool for expressing your true feelings.

Be careful, and try to work it out over the phone.
