Chapter Eight: Duck and Cover:

It’s about to blow! You are sitting on gun power and gasoline. Here comes your partner with the matches. People around you do not have time to run. You and your partner argue day and night. You seem to want to push each other over the edge. Who can make the other one snap? But why do you do this? There are plenty of reasons for it. Maybe you just can’t stop. You probably lost the reason long ago. Or maybe you are looking for some prize when things have cooled down.

It’s not really healthy if this goes on too long. But you just can’t stop. Why would you when there is make-up sex waiting for you after you apologize? But you have to wonder if it’s really worth it? You get stressed out. Your mood is ruined. Seeing each other’s faces can make you pissed off. You wish that you could be free.

It doesn’t have to be both of you prone to explode either. It just takes one with a dominating personality and little patience to cause an explosion around them. The softer partner will try to keep them happy. One false move and all hell breaks loose. And I am not even taking about abusive relationships. Those do not even apply to these light-hearted observations.

Why do you put yourself through this? What is the point? Everyone else around wonders way. Some try to convince you to break up with your partner. Whether you might want to or not, you don’t. Why don’t you? You might not have an answer for that.

At least, you aren’t the next couple I am about to cover.
