On Relationship Conflict

After a conflict, does relationship maintenance depend on a constant appraisal of the conflict with the strength of the relationship?

I ask this because yesterday I experienced 3 instances of conflict and went to bed unhappy and, to be honest, pissed the f!@#*& off. Naturally, I thought this experience required scientific inquiry.

Conflict 1: Stop saying p****!

Analysis: Frustration from playing online video game? Frustration from being tired?

Conflict 2: You are delusional. (Definition of delusion: A false belief or opinion)

Analysis: He didn't know what I was laughing at, and thus concluded that I was mentally unstable? Frustration from game/work?

Conflict 3: Play the g*dd** song and don't turn your back to me!

Analysis: You have got to be f***ing kidding me! Well, at least that was what I was thinking last night. Oh, and I can't believe I played the song afterwards, ugh, I feel so dirty and pathetic thinking about it. Next time, yell or storm off, a little personal advice from me.

Bonus Conflict: Going to bed calmly without guilt or an apology. Priceless.

You know what? I just came to the realization that a Rogerian approach to relationship conflict would be interesting to see.

Whew, can you feel the catharsis?

Sincerely,

SG

P.S. H*ll yea!

Oh I'm loving this right now.
