How do you walk away from a fight?

The way you describe your relationship--very loving and sexual the majority of the time, generally treat each other like king/queen, with some pouty times and fights but never to the point of abuse that I've noted--it really sounds a whole lot like when my H and I were dating and early married years. It basically sounds: immature.

 

I think it would do a world of good for you to lead in the growing up process. Just stop reacting. She can't fight with herself. Walk away until she's calm, refuse to be audience to her tantrum, and then you bring it up in a calm, appropriate, caring manner later in order to check in and work through any real issue. Don't avoid it, hoping it'll go away. Check in and say, "Babe, I know you were really upset earlier. Do you want to talk about it now?" Be sure to touch her when saying this, maybe hold her hand.

 

Through those talks, hopefully she'll learn what works--and what doesn't work--in getting her needs met. Tantrums and pouting don't work. Talking does. Breaks work; screaming doesn't.

 

If you have kids, think of what their seeing. The children are watching; what are they learning?
