Stop the War

We both seem to be the explosive type when it comes to arguments. Ideally, one would stay quiet and let the other vents it all until he or she runs out of breath. But for us, we won't hold back and we don't seem to listen to each other either. We just throw words at each other until it gets to an uncontrollable state. The good thing about this type of verbal explosion is that it only happens within minutes. After that, we will heal each other with apologies and forgiveness. However, sometimes the damage is so big that it hurts one's feeling deeply. In that case, it does leave a scar and it's not so easy to get rid of it.

A love relationship often feels like one teaspoon of sugar and one teaspoon of shit. I have been able to cope with the shit part because the sugar usually comes in soon after. But recently, it's been more like two teaspoon of shit versus one teaspoon of sugar. I still haven't figured out whose fault is it, maybe it's just me being so short tempered and impatient. But what I for sure know is that I am getting sick of taking so much shit. I really hope this is just temporary.
