I Believe In Forgiveness

Life really is too short.

Whenever I fight with with my S/O I remember something I heard when I was a teenager. I had a bf back then who's dad died. His mother attended a bereavement group where she met a young guy who had been on holiday in China with his gf. One night they had had a big row at the hotel and she had stormed off. After a while when she hadn't returned he went looking but found nothing. The next day she was found dead, she'd been attacked and murdered. He was devastated, but the worst thing, he said, was the fact that their last words had been in anger.

I never forgot his story and I always try to make up as quickly as possible...I hate to think that my last words to anyone I care for would be angry ones.

I have in the past taken this to extremes, refusing to allow someone space to calm down or think because I NEED to fix everything. I guess it's all about balance.

@CheshireCatalyst space is good but apologies should be made as soon as you calm down I think. I'm a lot better at avoiding an argument these days, if someone else is angry I'll be more inclined to ask why rather than counter with more anger.
