Thanks TAM!

Coming here two years ago, my husband and I were pretty much having an alternating hot and cold war in our house. We couldn't communicate to each other effectively, we were constantly pushing each others buttons and I was pretty convinced I mistakenly gave up a very happy life as a crazy cat lady.

This weekend was tense in our house. Kind of like old times, the lead up to a fight was in the air and we were being "nice" to each other in order not to have a week long three day brawl. It finally came to a head this morning, but instead of flipping out with me leaving and him continuing the fight in numerous ways, we had a fairly calm discussion (for us,) made up and agreed we were both being *******s to each other for no good reason.

This is the first time ever that this has happened where we resolved our issues fairly, quickly and with both of us still feeling like a team unit.

All of the credit I give to this board. Learned fair fighting from here, how to not let his grumpiness effect me personally, how to get things off my chest without being too harsh and most importantly, how important it is to continue to at least remain affectionate even when we are annoying the hell out of each other.

Thanks guys, from the bottom of my heart. :)
