[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] HistoryHighlight [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] sims3k Seems like you have quite an attitude problem OP. I can understand outbursts when you get mad, but an outburst shouldnt last longer then an instant. If you drag it on and fuel the flames then you have a problem.[/quote] I would argue that I didn't drag it on. The final paragraph was spoken calmy and reservedly. All I wanted to do then, and every other time, was make her see where I was coming from. But she just doesn't want to hear it and that aggravates me beyond words.[/quote] You told her to act her age. You treated her like second rate nobody when you told her the only way you would respect her is if she followed your orders. All of this happened after the initial arguement was over. If you cant say anything positive, dont say anything at all. You should have just grit your teeth and accepted the pizza off her. She obviously felt bad and gave it back to you for a reason. I know giving out advice over the internet is easy, so im not telling you your outwright wrong. I have problems similar to yours but with my father. And in the heat of the moment it really is hard to judge whats the right reactions and responses. Pride does get in the way too. Anyways ive rambled enough. Peace out OP
