The book 'Women are from Venus, Men from Mars' was full of stereotypes but one thing it got right was my own resistance to try to settle arguments when I'm upset or when she's upset. We would both get in argument mode and micro things would escalate. A promise to talk about it later can work. Sometimes we both later want to let it pass or apologize. Sometimes we see real issues to be addressed calmly. Never easy to wait when you want justice, but well to remember this is the person I love.
Resolve it now
resolve it now..
Resolve it when tempers have calmed down!
Confront it straight up and get it out of the way.
id prefer to resolve it sooner than later, but know us and how we dont always voice our minds at first notice, itd probably end up being later
If we dont resolve it, its going to keep coming up. We have this problem a lot.
My inclination is just to leave it but I'm trying to work on resolving issues as it pops up. :)
You actually have been and I like it!

Now if possible
Right f**kin' now!
Resolve it later.. but I'm getting better facing it head on thanks to him
I like to take some time alone to figure things out. Then I can proceed to work things out. You can't fix anything if your mind isn't clear.
Depends on just how mad we are
Now, but most of the time its better after we both had some thoughts
Now or else it will be a bigger issue later
