Hello Bloggers, Does anyone care to end the fighting? I’ve put together some tools for caregivers. They are published on a blog so anyone can access and try them. Here’s the link: mlberg.spaces.live.com If you can imagine collaborating could make a difference, then check out the resources and let's get started. Thank you for your consideration

OK. so we had a fight, a very bad one & he moved out. neither of us were great at communicating. i think we've learned how after what happened. i just hope it's not too late. it started out as a discussion & quickly became an argument, then things got heated & out of hand. emotions & anger & hurt. we're both pretty stubborn. then he got up to leave. and i didn't want him to. i was afraid he wouldn't come back. then something overcame me & i slapped him in the face. i honestly don't remember actually raising my hand up. it was kind of like i blacked out for a few seconds. he said it was over & he could never forgive me. i didn't mean to, i was just very upset & hurting very bad. i have never done anything like that before. i know i never will again. i will never let myself become that angry again. i will calm down first. i regret it very bad, i feel terrible. anyway, he ended up calling me about a week later, saying he wanted to talk about things, understand things, that he realized i wasn't the only one at fault. so he hasn't moved back in, we've been talking off & on since, calmly & rationally, unlike on the fight night. he asked for time, but he cant promise me he will come back. its very hard for me to be patient, because i'm scared he'll decide he can't come back. but i don't want to give up because i think we can work this out. i'm trying very hard to give him time & space, it's testing my patience big time, i'm not a patient person. but i want to be for him. he deserves it. he said i could call him, but i'm trying not to. it's really hard though when he doesn't call. i love talking to him. i'm just scared the next phone call will be him telling me he decided not to come back. at least i'll know i tried the best i know how. what's meant to be will be, right? i'm so scared i've lost him forever.....ugh. any advice would be helpful...??

oh yeah, he thanks me for my patience & for talking with him. he tells me he loves me & misses me. he even came over one night to discuss things. it went well. we both learned a lot from this, and still are, about ourselves & each other. i feel like we can grow together. i hope.....if he can forgive me.

"But in this case, his acquiescence isn't because he's uninterested; it's because he respects that this is your (and possibly your mother's) big day," Yeah...riiiiiiight. 90% of guys ARE totally uninterested in wedding details. It's not out of respect, it's because we don't give a crap.

Yes this was helpful, however I disagree with the last one. My fiancee' won't stop poking his nose into the wedding details. He keeps changing things on me. I'm to the point of letting him plan it and just showing up.

Why does Yahoo continue to dumb-down their content with crap like this? Are people really interested in this garbage? What's next? "Fights men yearn for"? Dear Yahoo, Please never feature a column like this again. Regards, Me
