Yesterday, one of my friends told me (on my Facebook wall) that her boyfriend (MY boyfriend's best friend) and her always wondered if the Boyfriend and I ever got into fights. I told her, half-jokingly, that we did. Especially when I tell him he's ugly when he shaves, when I tell him I'm going to get married to a Spanish hottie, and when I tell him that he's calling me a cow (even if he's never done so).
The girl replied with a ":( Those are not real fights". I told her we DO have disagreements, as any other couple, but we don't "fight" : we don't scream at each other, we don't punch each other and we don't throw objects at each other. I do give him the silence treatment that drives him crazy after 15 minutes, but else, we talk in an almost civilized way.
My boyfriend just replied that she seemed disappointed that we don't fight, and that she should have sent us an inbox, to avoid the conversation being too public. Oh, he's so naive. He didn't believe me when I told him that she knew very well that her boyfriend would read the thing and would say to himself "What if when we fight we talked things through instead of yelling at each other?".
And for a second he was like "But... but.. that's manipulation!"
Of course that's manipulation, honey... Every woman should be able to perfectly manipulate the man into doing things AND thinking it was his idea. How do you think I get you to do me back rubs when I have a sore back? ;)
A few things before the weekend

Honestly, men have no idea how many "original" thoughts of there are planted by their wummins. Like Inception, only not in dreamland and more sexy!
ReplyDeleteManipulation is the way to go. Luckily, just like you my bf and me don’t really fight and throw things at each other and just like you I do the silent treatment for 15 minutes to make him feel uncomfortable and then we talk about it in a civilized manor and that’s it. I think that’s the only good way to fight. There is no need for screaming and hitting!! Anyways, I get free back rubs when I get a sore back and my boyfriend just realized that he has been giving me free backrubs with nothing in return and then I reply “Ugh your too ticklish.. its impossible to give you a back rub.” I win.
ReplyDeleteHarley : Unless your man is Leo DiCaprio! ;)
ReplyDeleteStephanie : I agree with you in the fact "that's the only way to fight". Communication is essential. And for the back rubs, my boyfriend is wayyy too ticklish, so he just asks for kisses in return :)
