Arguing that gets bad reall quickly
Ironically enough, a conflict with someone about getting past a final conflict and onto happier days. A conflict to end the constant series of serious discussions. We used to have fun. We need to go back to enjoying life together.

Just every day things. We don’t always see eye to eye! But these tools will really help!
These recent issues in the bedroom have led to a lot of fighting between my partner and I. At the core, she has deep feelings of not being appreciated, or understood. That stuff was there before me, but also present now. She can be extremely critical an in the past I’vefelt attacked and defended myself that reaction is like gas on her fire.
