Q. Who was your last argument with and what was it about?
United States
A. My wife. It was a doozy!
We got married recently after her (and her son) were denied entry into the USA. We had not intended to marry anytime soon and avoided discussing marriage up to and through the rejection at immigration, because of stress and fear and other relationship things and relocation things and just plain things. Anyway it finally became necessary to marry if we hoped to stay together. We did it. Then we sat and waited to see who would rip apart from tension first.
It was me.
I flipped out over a stupid issue (she left her purse on the bed and I couldn't comfortably sit down or stretch my legs). I complained about the purse and she complained about my housekeeping. I yelled about her inability to stay organised and she yelled about my wastefulness with towels. I yelled bigger and more, and she yelled bigger and more. Much breaking of personal promises and valuable possessions ensued in an escalating fight to show who cared less about money and things, and I eventually lost my cool and said the last thing I wanted to say, which I knew was the trump of the fight deck: getting married was the wrong way to handle our problems, etc. I am a huge jerk and cannot ever, ever say this sort of thing again. I don't mean it and it's a low blow even for when fights need to be won -- and this one didn't. Finally we resorted to mutual screaming while her son cried in the next room thinking God know what, probably terrified we would storm against him next. I slept at a hotel and we reconciled the next day. It was our first married fight and needed to be had, but neither of us expected it to go so crazy.
Incidentally she still keeps her purse on the bed and I still dry off with multiple towels and leave them on the floor in the kitchen.
Whew!
