Giving Space

Space doesn’t mean walking out the door. Space (to me) means that take some time to cool down. Sometimes words isaid in anger are really hurtful.

yeah.

I dun give him space, I just give him blanket n pillow to sleep in the living room!

Honestly,IMO silent treatment/giving space does nothing good except extending the period of a fight for longer than it would have if you were still together n talking on need only basis.. usually someone says or does something that makes you realize we are family and we are fighting over something stupid but if you just go away and don’t see each other, it keeps building the anger and interferes with your daily life!

okay so in some cases space is necessary…

this is a typical fight (which is getting less and less thank GOD) that we used to have.

-he comes home in a bad mood
me: “whats wrong?”
him: “nothing’s wrong”
me: “whats bothering you?”
him: “nothings bothering me.”

repeat this about 3 times.

me: wats wrong?
him: YOU’RE WHATS WRONG
me: no, there has to be something else, tell me whats bothering you?
him: YOU’RE bothering me!
