  • The Dilemma of a Post-Couple Quarrel



    We always hear stories of couples quarreling/fighting, and then there's this cold period which lasts from a few minutes to even hours, days and weeks where both parties decide to play ignore with each other until someone finally relents and gives in = Apologizing first.

    So how do we justify who steps in and apologizes first?

    I have a friend who has this deal with her boyfriend, whereby every week, both will take turns to give in to each other. So take this week for example, no matter what happens, my friend will have to give in first, and the following week, her boyfriend has to be the accommodating one.

    But what happens if the subject-matter blows out of proportion and is not as simple as what it seemed like, and no one gives the impression of wanting to take the first step in making up?

    What if both are too egoistic and do not want to put their pride down to call or text the other party first?

    What if one party has actually taken the initiative already, but the response from the other party is not ideal enough for a reconciliation?

    What I strongly feel is that if a couple still treasures their relationship and wants to make things right together, what is so difficult with sending a short text like, "I miss you" or even "I still love you no matter what happened"?

    At the end of the day, wouldn't overcoming all these setbacks together make the love between a couple even stronger and more special?

    What do you think?
