what kills a relationship is silence, indifference and aloofness

Totally agreed. It is very important to be honest and open if you care about one another...however, this is only productive with tact and diplomacy

I am generally a passive person and have found that simply remaining calm and controlled when someone else is close to losing their rag can really help to diffuse a situation.

Your reactions provide ammunition for a further onslaught...I am impressed that you've decided to be more rational rather than fanning the flames. It is very difficult to begin to do this when you are accustomed to fighting tooth and nail to preserve your ego
