5 Things You Think While Fighting With Your Boyfriend
static.ettoday.net

If you are in a relationship, it is safe to say you have arguments. By nature, I have to have fights in order to stay passionate in a relationship — they are necessary. In Pat Benatar’s words: "love is a battlefield, and I have to ensure that it stays that way."

Call me dysfunctional, but I think most women can relate to the hunger for passion. Either way, a fight is a fight, and during every fight, I tend to go through the same process in my head.

1. Uh, I hate him.

This is the period during our fight when I run into the bedroom and slam the door behind me in pure anger. The liberating feeling lasts for about 10 seconds before I'm questioning my actions. Shots have been fired and I have threatened to break up with him at least three times since we started yelling at each other… Wait, why do I immediately regret doing that? Uh, I hate him.

2. Is he ever going to come knock on the door?

At this point, I’m questioning the fight and whether or not I’m just being over dramatic. Does it really matter if he was home all day and didn’t clean up for me? Am I being a crazy girl? My mother has always told me that it is important to pick my battles wisely. No. I decide that my wrath is perfectly justified and remain pouting on my bed. I tell myself that I will give him 20 minutes to come apologize before I go stay at a friends for the night.


3. Okay, it’s been 25 minutes, he clearly doesn’t love me.

25 minutes? Hah. What an a**. Does he think he can just sit in the other room and watch TV like nothing has happened? I swear, I’m going to leave this house and never come back. But my friends all live so far away. Plus, I have class tomorrow and our house is so much closer to campus which means if I stay here, I can sleep in. Okay, I will give it another 25 minutes.

4. Should I apologize?

Wow, I’m officially having a stakeout in my bedroom, it’s been over an hour. If he hasn’t apologized yet, maybe I’m the problem? I think I will go pretend that I need some water. Yes, great idea. I will put on sexy pajamas and go grab a drink of water, then he will have to face me and say he’s sorry. If were being honest here, by now I’ve completely forgotten why we started fighting in the first place, but I’m going to stand my ground.


5. Whats for dinner?

Well, that certainly didn’t go as planned. He asked what I wanted for dinner and the thought of pizza erased my memory completely. Pizza, it is.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
