Yep!
I read somewhere that most conflicts come because women rant about something unfix-able, and men want to fix things (and maybe get frustrated when they have no advice to offer).

yeah I had a huge fight with Wiggy a while ago
because he didn't want to come to a barbeque with my friends, he wanted to go to a different barbecue with his friends. I had a big blow up at him about how he doesn't like my friends (which isn't true) and then when that wasn't working I moved onto how he only wanted to go to this other barbeque so he could smoke weed because that's all he cares about (slightly true) and then when that didn't work either I started ranting about how the guy whose barbeque it was is a really shit friend and he shouldn't waste his time on him (this is very true). Eventually he just said "I love you and if you're upset about something we'll work it out" which made me have to admit that I was being a psycho. I hate when I have to do that.

to be honest I would have rather done that too
but I'd already agreed to go to this other barbeque. That's probably why I was so annoyed. Plus it was really sunny where we were and I had to leave that. As I was driving down the motorway I literally drove into a black cloud and then it started pissing it down. My rubbish barbeque was inside whilst he was posting pictures of how hot it was on Facebook.

that is annoying
it's been quite handy that, since moving to devon, my mrs has come to the conclusion that all her old friends were shit and that mine are better. this has made life much easier.

A lot of our friends are mutual by coincidence
but since moving to Manchester he's making a lot more friends through going to stoner parties so I'm adopting his more than the other way around.

a wise move
stoners are good people

I've learned that, when the Lady is going off on one
To try not to get defensive and make things worse. Just suck it up, admit if I'm in the wrong, and try to find middle ground as quickly as possible.
