I put myself in marriage "Time Out"

[Tish]

Play the Widow Game, as made up by Dr. Joyce Brothers. Pretend & believe he is dead and how you feel about being without him.

Wish I had my husband around to get mad at. How about you?

Same this way.

I think taking a break and giving oneself time to cool off is better than constant bickering but I agree with @Rah-Rah that at some point there needs to be a discussion. Hopefully you can iron things out.

Same this way.

Me too

Been there and done that, but have learnt that pride can work against you. It's hard to apologise, even if you know it's your fault and waiting for one can be gut wrenching and painful.

Come on Ladybj, kiss and make up. It's not worth it.
You should do this each morning and I guarantee a fine day will be had by you both!

With all the advice given above, "how can it possibly go wrong"

 

[Ladybj]

Yes, I can relate. When I was married & we had an argument, she also took time out.
That worked out fine.
Until she came back.

Win - that is tooo funny!!

That is certainly one of Win's strong suits!

Thanks Shero - Love that song. The best part is making up

I can vouch for the "making up" part

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback.

One of the post ask how can we be in the same house and not see each other for 2 days..it's due to his work schedule and I have a Woman's Cave which has it's own bathroom. My hubby and I like each other and enjoy being around each other. Putting myself in Time Out works great - which is not too often.

We address the issue once we both are calm - normally its no more than a day if it gets too heated. I am not one to sweep things under the rug. He went to watch a football game over his friend house earlier today - before he left, I got a kissie Kiss - which was a surprise.. Time out works for me and I am sure for him as well.
