You would be...?
On the way to work this morning, on the radio, they were talking about being a confront-er or a walk-a-way-er in the relationship.
What are you? How do you go about dealing with situations that arises?

That goes for any kind of relationship if you want to look at it like that, too.

Re: You would be...?
I have a history of being a-walk-a-wayer, but on the other hand I have learned that I have to stay and work things out - not easy and a huge skill, but it is coming together. My fiancee actually wouldn't let me off the phone the first time I just wanted to run away, and we made amazing strides.

Re: You would be...?
i used to be the type to walk away, at least until i could settle down and ration things out, but then my ex wife got a hold of me,and would not let me walk away with unresolved issues....weird, cuz she left me when i started arguing with everything she said...if she would have just let me be a walk-awayer things might be different now!!!

Re: You would be...?
Ok, this might not make sense, but the first one was my fault, I was flying jets for Uncle Sam, so I was never home. The 2nd, I was burned & laying in a burn center, & she walked out. I figure that was enough reason to fold.

Re: You would be...?
I look at things in a logical and rational way. However if the other person, who ever that may be, doesn't seem to be able to comprehend the rational or the logic, then its like dragging a dead horse to the watering hole. I have to deal with this many times a day at work. Most of these people cannot and/or will not ever be able to think like the normal every day person. Then you have leave them with the idea that you have presented to them, and let them think about it for some time, and that may even be several days. For Ma and I, we will discuss things in a calm cool adult manor, and we will give the other the rational for what we did. That way we are able to understand the thought process which lead to what we did or said. Well atleast most of the time.

Re: You would be...?
When there is an obvious and serious or major conflict, I like to just stop everything, sit down across the table from each other and start working on all the understanding and compromise it takes to resolve it...unfortunately, I'm married to a man that can, and usually does act like a freakin' spoiled, annoying 6 year old,any and all adult methods are completely useless...

Re: You would be...?
I cannot stand procrastination, or any kind of dancing around the issue, when there is a problem. I am a man of LOGIC, and REASON!!! a resolution must be acheived, and as soon as possible...all it takes is two people with comm. skills, and follow through...it can keep tommorrows mountain, just a molehill...

Seems to be the general theory that would work in any situation. Sucks sometimes cuz it doesnt always turn out that way.

Sometimes when problems get this far it is important to have someone that is willing to just put their arms around the other one, hug them with everything that they have, lean back and just say those words that are the hardest. "I love you...I'm sorry...Let's find a way to make the work out."

"I love you...I'm sorry...Let's find a way to make the work out." Sounds like the first steps to make up sex..

Re: You would be...?
confrontation is hard and risky at times, especially if one person is more educated and dominant leaving the other in a loosing fit of anger. and if it is a matter of winning the smarter person will always use both barrels to make their stand leaving their partner bewildered walking away with wounds that sometimes never heal, leading to more problems later on in the bedroom.
People that walk away do so because they are either scared and don't want to add more fuel to the fire or they just don't really care for some reason or other.
I have been known to be both, depending on the time of the month, the posistion of the stares, who knows,, but if there is money involved I will have both barrels cocked.

Re: You would be...?
what if i'm neither? i definetly dont walk away but also let as many confrontations slip past quietly as i can. i'm more the.. it already happened nothing i can do to change it now so why waste another day bitching and whining to each other about it, kinda guy.
long as you both know the issue exist and both agree it's affecting something in a negative mannor, what's left? if i dont have enough trust in my partner to assume they'll deal with it appropriately with out "us" creating a detailed plan of action (and likewise with trusting me to do the same)... it's probably time to go shopping in the personals section again.
i know its a bad character trait in me but if you tell me to sit down and we NEED to talk this through... that's pretty much the last thing i'm gonna do.
thats enough on that....

gr8 point HH on the "winning" thing...if ur confrontational with the expectation to "win" then often the result won't be beneficial or only one sided.
I confront as I need to but "no when to fold 'em too"...hell compromise is life..in many ways especially when Venus and Mars are involved...

i would not could not in a bed, visions of titties in my head. i would not will not be demanded, sitting idle when reprimanded. i would not could not in the buff, sex as a tool i've had enough. it will not open my ear or soften my head, serious talks do not belong in the bed. Miss Juilianna of the Hills, talking is a merely a battle of wills. i do not like to be worried and stressed, this one time please keep fully dressed. BCB (and that is me) says actions not words mend the fence. That should just be common sense.

Re: You would be...?
I have a very bad temper when pushed, i know hard to believe!!! And i never back down to anyone, which isn't a good thing, but it's the way I've always been. I'm a good person as long as no-one takes advantage of that.
In my job though, i have to be assertive but not confrontational, so i have to back off from time to time.
