We defuse and disarm disputes by pointing out that the things that upset us are actually not very important in the grand scheme of things.

We gently remind each other that they are mostly "white people's problems".

I can’t believe how many of you have taken a shot at answering this, and are evidently still alive.

Start with an apology. It’s probably your fault anyway. Just apologize. You’ll figure out what you’re apologizing for later.

what did you tape to the door? a sign that read, "hey dummy! this door is closed"?

I did think about asking why she walked into the door so soon after she saw me shut it, but found myself silenced by visions of my premature demise if I should make the inquiry, no matter how gentle my voice or elegant my language. She was at that moment holding a pair of scissors and yelling, 'I should kill you!' so I felt being paralyzed by terror was the better part of valor.

I assume she just got to talking and forgot, which she could easily do again, so I taped a business card to the door. It's what fell readily to hand, and it had my phone number on it so she could call me to take her to the emergency room if she walked into it again.

Ain't that the truth. Add getting in trouble for something you did in her dream & the picture is complete.

Sorry Spin & Emily, but there are some things that simply make no sense to a guy's little brain.

Personally I try to win all of my fights by at least 200 yards...

In my experience an angry woman is the most unreasonable, illogical but determined person on the planet.
Run, avoid and don't bring flowers!

At one point in our marriage she made a comment something like, “Sometimes I don’t need suggestions, sometimes I just need a hug.” I don’t recall what generated that plea, but within days she was driving me somewhere. She pulled away from the curb a little to early and clipped a passing truck.
As the truck stopped, I turned to her and asked, “Need a hug?”

She didn’t think it was funny.
She does now, it’s been 30+ years.

Fastest way to calm down an angry man is to say, calm down . . not. You got to deal.

I've known many men who can be described that way.

Anger is an emotion, and we all have emotions, whether or not we like to admit it. Sometimes in life we do things that, intentionally or not, upset others in our lives. Emotions are an obstacle to solving whatever problem exists.

Ego is also a problem.

Sometimes what one says and what another hears are not the same. Blaming others is often easier than blaming yourself.

This thread, in some ways, I would think, is insulting to women.
