It’s that moment. You feel like if you open your mouth the only words that will come out, no matter how hard you try, will be the line you’ve got prepared—maybe it’s passive aggressive, accusatory, begins with a deep sob or a shake of the head. But you’re about to tell him: you’re mad. Even though we get overwhelmed by our emotions sometimes, if we can, we should pause before picking our next fight just to make sure it’s worth it. Or, if it’s even fair. It’s hard to be logical at that moment just before explosion, so if you have some questions ready for yourself, you might have a chance at avoiding a blowup.

    “One action doesn’t mean the same thing coming from two different people…”….This is good!

    I agree that we need to learn to pick our battles in order to win the war. It is often better to evaluate the incident, your anger and his perception of what he did. Communication is key, but delivery can be devastating. Thought out considerate communication and delivery makes for a happier you, a happier him and a happier relationship.
