Hatred, anger, deceit and vindictive behaviour may all contribute to poisoning or destroying a relationship. I have decided to create this thread, to explore how individuals deal with their rage and anguish, after a heated argument with a loved one.
You are involved in a heated argument with a relative or a close friend and eventually, it escalates into a physical fight. After the fight, you are left feeling enraged, devastated, betrayed, emotionally drained and you make a solemn vow, to sever all connections with your relative / friend. Would you erect a makeshift tombstone in the back of your yard, with the person's name and the date of the fight, to represent that your relationship with that individual is "dead?" Do you know anyone who would go this far? What are your views on this?
If a person goes and makes a tombstone with the persons name and date of the fight on it and displays it in their back yard I would stay away. It is obvious that this person has some serious issues that needs to be worked out. I would hope this person seeks some help to get over the problem they have with relationships.
I have had some knock down drag out fights with people I consider close. I have gotten very physical to include punches thrown. I have been forgiven and I have forgave. We dealt with the issues at hand and are now even closer. that is how it should be. I can not think of a time where someone I cared for got into a physical fight with me and we did not talk or work it out later.
I've never resulted to a physical fight in my life, except for when I was a teenager and had to defend myself against an attacker who was angry with me. If I ever have the urge to get physical, I get as far away from the person as possible and I will see a doctor about getting help. I feel it is a serious mental problem to have to resort to physical violence.
