On a gorgeous day, I will stir up some shite just to have an excuse to take a lap solo

you think it is a cuck move in a moment where tempers are raised to remove yourself from the situation, allow cooler heads to prevail, and keep your home a safe haven for the woman you swore to love and protect vs removing her even temporarily from the place she calls home and views as a place of shelter?

exert your dominance while you are dating instathots. display humility and patience with the woman you swore to be with. Or when you inevitably lose her...at least your internet baws will be there to renew your mythical man card

Why are you getting so emotionally worked up in a discussion with your wife?

No, I’m an adult and can process things like one.

Yes. The best thing to do when an argument gets heated is to shut your mouth and remove yourself from the situation. That can be going to a different room, leaving the house, hanging up the phone, etc.

Dad, is that you? I’m so glad I haven’t talked to you in 10 years, apparently you’re still a fricking a-hole

I generally don't blow my top, and neither does my wife. We can disagree about something and, if necessary, wait until kids are in bed to hash it out while still not being assholes to each other all day.

We never really argued, but I made sure I was on the road during PMS days :-)

No. Just wear a pearl necklace so you can clutch those instead of leaving the house.

Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack
I went out for a ride and I never went back
Like a river that don't know where it's flowing
I took a wrong turn and I just kept going

We don’t have heated arguments anymore because we’ve learned how to communicate better about it, but when we did used to get into it yes, I would usually leave just to get away from the situation for a bit, to separate myself so I could think about what the problem was, try to see it from her perspective, figure out if there was something I needed to take responsibility for, figure out how to more clearly communicate what the problem was, how to discuss solutions, etc. I felt it better to approach it with a clear head instead of anger and frustration which tend to be more natural reactions in the moment.

Dang man that's rough. Kind of puts everything in perspective . When the wife and i argue i generally go on the other side of the house and cool off. Then return and start small talk to get us back to talking again then a day later we are good. It's worked for dam near 15 years.

After many, many years of trying to keep the conversation “On point”, only for it to shape shift into something that I don’t recognize, I’ve learned to go to a neutral corner, wait a bit, then offer “a reset”. This means all things said prior are “forgotten”. This is followed by a hug. PEACE.

Let’s see what the manufacturer’s suggestion is, shall we?

Proverbs 25:24 King James Version (KJV)
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

Checks out. No reason to stand there and fight.

Oh space is the best choice. If you even think there is about to be an argument, disengage and distance yourself. You will save a lot of time and energy, because the truth is a lot of fights are over shite that doesn't matter in the big scheme. Instead of having a fight, have a walk and a think.


If you are still bound and determined to have a fight when you get back, have it. But I think a lot of the time the problem will have alleviated itself
