"this silly unemotional"
Was the "un" intended?
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Yup. Very deliberately so.

Ok, sorry. In that case I don't really get it.

That's ok. It was meant to convey that there wasn't any hysteria or dramatics that might've warranted a shut down.

Ah, I was trying to read too much into it. I was thinking about a completely cold fight with no emotion behind it - the fierce argument equivalent of passionless sex, and trying to see what clue I missed that that was what was going on.

Yeah, I kinda failed. It was a parent/child thing. A boring debate, absent of any real import, that suddenly becomes a huge emotional break but not for the content of the original debate. Oh well, I don't attempt to make my living at this.

sarameg, it worked for me. Maybe because it's one of the reasons my ex is my ex.

I suspect it is something that like sees like when I'm not really clear. In my case (yeah, that was autobio) it was me & my dad when I was an early teen. I'm over it in the sense that I love him dearly, faults and all, and CAN love him faults and all. But it was a rude awakening at the time and probably a harsh and early wake up. It was .. harsh. And shocking.

Sara, for what it's worth, I totally got it. Nice job.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I got it, and haven't had the experience. The opposite, in fact--I had two younger brothers and they would do stuff like that (and worse) during arguments all the time, but my parents would listen to my side. My mom was a state debate champion, so she always fell for a good argument.
