I and my boyfriend had a big fight yesterday. I hung him up while we were talking on the phone since I was at my edge of anger. We exchanged some hurtful words that we regret of telling so afterwards. I was still so upset and angry when I went home after work. I expected that my boyfriend will come home late since we had a fight. He got home an hour after I arrived, and he brought some take out food for our dinner from my favorite restaurant. To my surprised, while he was taking off his jacket he gave me a rose which he hide inside his jacket. Oh, how it melted my anger and feel so silly of so small things that I made it so big. I hugged him tight while I was sobbing because I knew it took him a lot of courage for him to be the one who made the first move to patch things up between us since it was my fault in the first place. Such a sweet way to end our fight.

I think that definately earns some brownie points. I have had that happen lots of times, I am lucky because my husband is very understanding and we are usually able to work through our fights fairly easily. I know that it is sometimes hard to keep a cool head but it is always a good idea to stop before you get to that point. I know that if we are too mad, we just go our seperate ways to cool down and then try to talk about things. The most important thing is that you guys work through your difficulties. I'm glad that you guy made you feel better, hope you guys are happy now.

One can only hope that all out fights would end like that. Now if we could just take that to the world, how wonderful it would be. Thank you

that is mighty nice of him but if i may, just do not abuse it if you know you are the one at fault. a guy can only take so much. some may be more patient than others.

I do the same w/ my husband. always got either a chocolate bar or a rose after a big fight. I guess am not the very appreaciative person since sometimes am trying to say "why this?...I'll be happy if you had given me money so I can buy what I want".....lol. But I know that's not right. He's telling me that money cannot speak of love but a rose can. And yes, he always be the one to do the first move for reconciliation; be it his' or mine fault. He cannot stand for us not speaking for a day. This is one thing am thankful for having him.

It's always nice when fights end that way. I wish my husband was like that whenever we get in fights. He always waits for me to make the first move. Even if I am right and he is wrong. We are actually fighting right now but I am not going to back down this time.

Ah, that is a sweet story. It seems he really cares for you.
That is something my husband has done for me too. We both are blessed to have them in our lives.
