Chalk it up to experience, but our general rules for fighting are:<BR>1) communicate--which oddly enough=LISTEN, not talk, to the other <BR>2)lighten up and appreciate the other person--especially the shortcommings. They become endearing over time. <BR>3)bite your tongue to prevent anything like &quot;why did/didn't you...&quot;, &quot;you should have...&quot;, &quot;I told you so..&quot;<BR>4)good point from previous posts: At the root of most arguments are insecurities/fears. Deal w/them and you'll avoid many a future problem.<BR>5)when all else fails, go ahead and fight, but follow our proven, agreed-upon rule: all fights are held in private, au naturel. It is surprising how short-lived they are.

Remember, if you win the fight, it's at what cost?<BR><BR>Relax and be tolerant. Life's too short.

What a dumb post/question! Do we all breathe? Sleep? Eat? Talk?
