who gives up first?

I do give in often times. Just to save us from the agony of being upset at one another. I don't like wasting my time fighting with her.

my wife usually calls first but thats just because I will not let down on my opinion and then she gets more mad and just walks away. She hates when people do not agree with her. She just storms off and does not want to have a good conversation about the problem we might be having. If you dont agree then she is mad.

once upon a time I would go on forever but these days I feel it better to just walk away and leave it, I just think life is way too short to be argueing and getting no-where, I would just rather give up....

Well, I've learned to control my temper back in high school. I easily flare up and got into a lot of fistfights. My parents had always taught me not to but I guess I didn't listen. But I had eventually realized that losing one's temper almost always gets you more into trouble. Now, even in any arguments, I never lose control of my temper. I don't even raise my voice. (Even though I'd sometimes like to shout at or hit the other person) Well, in all the relationships I had, I guess I almost always do the calling first if we had an argument. I don't apologize if I wasn't at fault, but I still would be the first one to call and try to patch things up.

I usually give up and move on when I reached my limit.. which is quite something since I am a really patient person. In normal situations though its highly dependent upon the source of discourse. Who make sense, whats the point about... etc.

usually it's my boyfriend. I'm a type who's cold. But sometimes it's me who give in. It depends on situation on who's fault.
