Which is funny b/c otherwise- I don&#39;t clean the house or anything for that matter. I&#39;m just so full of emotions it helps to be in control and make something clean and shiny...for once. :)Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-23189629960179296422009-08-30T23:56:29.599-07:002009-08-30T23:56:29.599-07:00Well, what kind of mature bullshit... *grumble* Our fight dance isn&#39;t near so nice as yours. It&#39;s more like a BOOT dance that I want to do straight up The Boy&#39;s ass. You guys are all adult and stuff.<br /><br />Hey, just a question: Did you find that you fought more or less when pregnant, and did the way you fought change? Because with the hormones, man, I&#39;m feeling a little argumentive these days. And by &#39;a little&#39; I mean &#39;maybe I&#39;ll bring a knife to my boot dance.&#39;The Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03696509216144037475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-85900133010817033552009-08-30T21:35:59.177-07:002009-08-30T21:35:59.177-07:00Hmm, my husband must have read your post and went back in his time machine...he knows your power trick and never eats my food when we&#39;re fighting.

And then I commented AGAIN.<br /><br />I just read all of these comments. You remember when you considered writing a book called &quot;The Almost Divorce&quot;? I think you should do it. Look at all these women who relate to you and everyone seems to agree that the way you write resounds with them (us). <br /><br />Strong encouragement to get writing that book.... <br /><br />I&#39;ll even BUY it (really, that&#39;s big, I always wait for the library to get it).Bexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13813676969096171175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-47540835918902290762009-08-28T23:56:37.696-07:002009-08-28T23:56:37.696-07:00Somehow, probably your writing, you made a fight seem romantic!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00107525813542584438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-50257498992152813472009-08-28T21:25:09.368-07:002009-08-28T21:25:09.368-07:00Thank you so much for your honesty and this post! I was just thinking earlier today that so many people in &quot;blogland&quot; seem to be in a &quot;perfect&quot; relationship sans any conflict. I think conflict is actually good as I feel that my husband and I emerge from each fight stronger, that working through our fights reinforces our commitment to each other.Carolinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18000709415581114218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-46678821554893982422009-08-28T19:46:14.548-07:002009-08-28T19:46:14.548-07:00I love this post.
