Let it be known, at this very moment, that I HATE fighting with my significant other. 

There is no way to make it not painful.  There is no way to ‘win.’  Even if, in the end, your opinion comes out on top, or you are proven right, you have still lost.  Because you have still had a fight, and probably during that fight one or both of you ended up being hurt.

Why not something else?  Why not arrange a game of Pokemon Puzzle League at the minute a fight starts up?  Why not fight only in odd body movements?  Why not make each other laugh until you’re no longer angry, and then talk things out with no bad emotions involved.

I wish for this.  : /
