Fromoutofnowhere Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Does anyone really, I mean REALLY, say things that they don't mean in an argument with their significant other? Is the truth sometimes so devestating to a relationship that we'd rather just eat our words and feelings and try to make up? Why? Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

If a person is hurting its a human knee-jerk response to lash out with words you know will hurt the other person. even when the person doesnt really mean it. Arguing skills are taught and learned. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
miss_jaclynrae Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Lol yes. In times of anger I have said ****ty things that I did not mean in the slightest. It's human nature when hurting to make the ther person hurt too, and the easiest way to do that is with words. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
tbf Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I say what I mean during arguments. So does H. If either apologizes, we apologize for inflicting hurt on the other, not for our honesty. This is why we trust each other since there's no b/s between us. Link to post Share on other sites

We stick to the issue at hand and say what we mean. We fight well. Link to post Share on other sites
