A meme? In Failblog?! MADNESS!!!
Gentlemen! I have the solution to this problem!
BITE YOUR TONGUE! Anything you say can and will be held against you for the rest of her life.
WALK AWAY! Even as the squawking and screaming continue, just walk away.
GO TO THE BATHROOM! She won’t follow you if she thinks you’re about to drop a bomb. Grab a couple Midol while you’re in there.
MAKE DRINKS! Preferably ones with alcohol in them. B!tches love alcohol. Crush up the Midol and put it in hers.
ENCOURAGE HER TO DRINK THE DRINK! At this point, she’s still quite angry, but regardless of what anyone says, poop is funny, and you going to the bathroom made her smile. Tell her, “I’m sorry I had to poop while you were yelling at me. Please, enjoy this adult beverage.”
Enjoy your drink and wait for the insanity to subside.
Get out off my comment sir.
This was faulty from the start. A guy would never say, “let’s talk.” in a couples argument.
My boyfriend does. That is why we never (or extremely rarely) argue. Not everyone fits your stereotypes.
Also, who the hell WANTS to fight? Maybe that’s also why we don’t fight…
Some people feel that the only way they can truly be over something is if they fight and get to shout it out and get it out of their system. I’m not sure why. They’re frustrated and feel a situation isn’t fully resolved if they haven’t FOUGHT over it.
Often, its simply because of that humanistic need to be better than the other… Not everyone will do it, and hopefully a good sum have control as said by Xebi, but it’s that stupid need to be right, and better than the other…. Stupid, and it suck
It’s true: we’re all human, and we’re all different. But I do think that anyone who feels the need to be right/”better” than their partner is in a dysfunctional relationship and needs to GTFO… I speak from experience, having been in relationships where I’ve often felt wronged and wanted (consciously or otherwise) to “prove myself” or score points. My current partner and I have never seen each other as anything other than equals and I’ve never felt the need to better him at anything. I consider myself very lucky but I do wish all relationships could be like that.
First of all, there are no girls on the internet. Go away, pedophile.
Second, what if the guy doesn’t want to talk? He’s automatically wrong and deserving of your wrath?
Okay.
LOL
I’m not a girl, you’re right. I am a WOMAN 
Where d’you get the second bit from?! If he doesn’t want to talk, then I leave him alone until he does. He will eventually, as he isn’t the sort of coward who refuses ever to face issues and instead leaves negative feelings unresolved to ferment into resentment. That is why we have such a good relationship, my friend. I don’t do wrath, either.
I do.
BADASS IS BADASS CAUSE’ HE’S ANONYMOUS
I wish my wife were like that…
My arguments with her fit this comic often…
Why does she have mutton chops moustache ?
I was wondering if anyone else saw that.
thats her hair… you can tell that she is screaming so much that her jaw is no longer attached
Who DOES that??? augh!
I knew a girl in college who wouldn’t date me specifically because I wouldn’t ever fight with her. I think she’s gotten better, though…
SO TRUE!!!!
LOL i was wonder what happened to my ex-wife…good luck with that bitch!
Anyone else hear a computer voice when you read the title?
I gotta go get a wopr now.
Nice War Games movie ref.
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who thought of this!
This exact thing has happened to me. O.O
I dunno, I think he’s handling it really well
I know that feel bro
This is the point at which I say “heck with this, troll mode engaged”
Really great post . I am Admin of a blog and website but i want to say you are doing great job , inspired .
*cough*troll*cough*
That’s my wife right there @ PMS. Plus violence. The only winning move is to do something that make even less sense. That usually wakes her up.
“Chicken looks at it. I neglected the doornails– commencing hinge lubrication with astroglide. Sorry for the delay!” … and do it humming Battle Hymn of the Republic.
Boy, am I on the wrong page, when i first read it, I thought it was HIM on the left, and her on the right! Why? Maybe bcause of my own experience. Then I had to read the comments , and the concensus is…its HER with all that hair, which i thought was him with a moustache! Oh well…Like I sid myown experience decades ago..it was him…blah blah blah…wore me down.
The lipstick didn’t tip you off?
No fail and not even funny, so what’s this crap doing here?
One could say the same about your comment.
+1
The only winning move is to apologize profusely (Panel 2 just doesn’t cut it) even if, especially if, it’s not your fault.
please tell us more!
like how much YOU make a month doing it.
That’s when you say “you have nothing to offer but a vagina and my hand will suffice. Hit the road b*tch”
Wow! That is so interesting! Tell me more! I must know MORE!
So what’s he done?
At times like this, it’s useful to be aware of Transactional Analysis and recognise this for the game playing that it is. Aim to remain in the adult phase and don’t get drawn into acting as adaptive child as the person has done in these panels – unless you want to join the game, but be prepared to lose and feel bad if you join someone else’s game on their terms.
Re-the advice above from someone to respond with random phrases – that can work as free child response does not follow the instigators script and so can shake them out of it, but you need to follow it quickly with a return to the adult ego state to make it work.
What can equally work (but risky) is to respond as nurturing parent or even critical parent (which is the ego state the angry person is in) neither fit the script but risk escalation so use with caution.
Not familiar with transactional analysis? Google it – it’s not perfect but it’s a useful concept to be aware of at times
Interesting stuff.
Definitely a game– usually a play for undivided attention. There’s always reason to argue, but that’s never what the argument is about. Every person’s different, but my wife engages because she’s feeling out of sorts and I don’t realize it and am ignoring her.
In my case, action needs to accompany the bizarre assertion (per above). It’s high intensity from beginning to end. Her tell is when she cracks a tiny smile that she tries to hide. Then, in rapid succession, I entice counter-weirdness on her part to draw her into a game that’s funner than hers. Then we’re both playing and laughing, and seal the end of the altercation with hot f**k. 5 minutes from the moment I recognize it for what it is to end.. minus the consummation which can last a good bit longer. Really.
If I fail, we go around until I find the right angle or have taken enough damage. But it always ends in some show of total devotion.
I come back to the reason she says she’s mad when she’s in a better mood. But you never try to problem solve with somebody when they’re totally agro’ed. That much I know.
I’ve had “it’s all my fault” arguments like that before. It doesn’t matter what you do. What you say. You’re to blame. >_<
If you actually are to blame, a “I’m sorry” followed by a cuddle BEFORE she can say anything else usually works. If you’re not, then it’s “I’m sorry you feel that way” followed by an explanation when she isn’t angry any more should do the job. It won’t work with everyone but you want to watch out for those people anyway.
Incidentally, my ex was a bit like this. He’d say something like “No, I won’t stop! I want to have this out with you!” even when there was nothing left to say. I would simply reply, “I see that, but I don’t. I want to resolve this for you but we’ll get nowhere by talking about it when we’re angry!” I’d usually crack after a while though. That’s why we’re not together any more, I guess.
This was my entire year of 2011….
Trying to think positive here since I don’t have a job.
I’ve been there too many times O_O
this is a repost
It’s a meme on Failblog.
Of course it’s a repost.
The second this happens, dump her
You’re in an abusive relationship
You know what? I think I agree with you.
As people said above, sometimes we need to let off steam to get anger etc. out of our systems. But none of us has any right to involve someone else in that process. He’s apologised to her.
such bs that they have nothing better to do than to want you to fight them
this isn’t a ‘woman thing.’ It’s well known that if you act all calm when someone is mad it makes them more mad.
Oh no, it’s not a ‘woman thing’, but the vast majority of people that do this are.
I’ve not gotten into a single argument with a guy where they get pissy when I calmly apologize/explain myself better/whatever the situation calls for. It usually follows a very logical sequence from there, unless he’s a complete crapnugget.
Obviously, I’m not saying “LAWL all chix do this, they r dum lololol”, but you cannot tell me that it’s not more common for women to stay in a huff for the sake of being in a huff than men. I’ve been on Earth too many years for that.
I haven’t argued with enough people to make a judgement on whether it’s more common for men or women to do it, and in fact the only person I ever knew who did it was my overemotional ex-boyfriend, but you’re probably right.
On the contrary. If you’ve ever been a fan of Mortal Kombat, you have been waiting for this moment your whole life, if you get me.
This is why God invented bars.
Even us older folks get this. I just exited a relationship two weeks ago when this happened. Short version is that she was mad that I wouldn’t argue with her and by arguing she meant physically fighting with her and finishing up by throwing her on the bed and pretending to rape her. I knew it was time to go when she said that.
I can understand the rape fantasy thing – I would love my boyfriend to do that to me but he doesn’t want to, which is totally understandable – but man, there’s a time and a place, and THAT IS NOT IT. Well played for getting out of that one, sir.
i friggin love this
