Now that's a pearl of wisdom! I have recently found that when I have an argument with my fiance, I DO learn things. About him, about me and about how we are relating to one another. I often learn how NOT to present things or how I don't like them presented to me...and you know what? He and I then TALK about the argument and we work on our relationship a little more.

Sometimes there just is no winner, btw. Sometimes people agree to disagree or work out a compromise solution. [img]smile.gif[/img]
