Six reasons you should go to bed angry after a fight

Now, I’ll be honest with you, I used to believe this was a great rule to live by. But that was back when I was in a relationship that lacked passion — including the passion to argue.
These days, I’m in a much more vibrant relationship, and I know without a doubt that if we didn’t go to bed angry, we’d stay up arguing all night about some stupid thing that happened three years ago. (Yeah, we’re both stubborn enough that we just might do that.)
Going to bed angry is actually great for our relationship, because things usually look completely different in the morning.
When the alternative is a sleepless or nearly sleepless night, going to bed angry is actually BEST for most relationships. Sleepiness from staying up to argue can actually make things a whole lot worse.
Here’s what the sleep experts have to say about why “never going to bed angry” is just a bad idea all-round:
1. YOU AVOID SAYING SOMETHING STUPID
Stanford sleep expert, Brandon Peters reports that difficulty sleeping interferes with higher cognitive functioning of the brain. This means you need sleep to pay attention, reason well, communicate kindly and effectively, and solve problems. If you’re so sleepy that you can’t solve problems, then how on Earth are you going to resolve an argument? You’re not.
2. IT’S BETTER FOR YOUR HEALTH
OK, the data shows that it’s actually chronic sleep loss that dramatically impacts your health, but if you’re regularly arguing instead of sleeping, it will add up. Who knows, the next time one of you says “You’re killing me!” during a late-night argument, you might actually be right. Take a break from the conversation and get some rest.
3. YOU’RE RESTED ENOUGH FOR GREAT MAKE-UP SEX
Dr. Robert D. Oexman, the director of the Sleep to Live Institute, says that chronic sleep deprivation can lower the sex drive hormone (testosterone) in both men and women.
Sleep specialists have found that both men and women report less interest in sex when they’re sleep-deprived. So if you’re looking forward to amazing make-up sex, you need to finish that argument in the morning when you’re rested and recharged.
4. YOUR OUTLOOK IS MORE POSITIVE
There’s a definite link between lack of sleep and depression. And it may be a chicken and egg situation: Insomnia can be a sign of depression, and lack of sleep can play a role in causing depression.
To solve a problem in a positive way, you need rest to refresh your outlook and perspective. Staying up late fighting just drains you both, and results in negative thinking and a depressed outlook. At night, “we should just break up” turns back into “we can work this out” in the morning.
Sleepless nights are not your friend. It’s almost impossible to feel great and excited about the day, your life, or your relationship when you’ve missed a lot of sleep because of some ridiculous argument.
5. YOU STICK TO THE POINT BETTER
In 2013, sleep researchers at UC Berkeley discovered a “dysfunctional pathway that explains the relationship between brain deterioration, sleep disruption and memory loss.”
Now, this forgetfulness could really go either way toward helping or hurting your argumentative ways. Staying up late fighting contributes to you going off track and fighting about all sorts of issues, instead of the one that’s truly at hand. You get too sleepy and forget your real point.
Catch some zzz’s and address the issue (if you can remember it) in the morning when your mind is sharp and you can stay focused on the real conversation.
6. YOU AVOID DOING OR SAYING SOMETHING YOU’LL REGRET
Sleep expert Phil Gehrman says “Lack of sleep can affect our interpretations of events. This hurts our ability to make sound judgments because we may not assess situations accurately and act on them wisely.”
The longer you stay up arguing, the worse the argument will probably get because you start to get cranky and lash out, saying anything to make the fight end (so you can sleep) instead of truly resolving the issue.
So, go to bed already.
Commit to revisiting the conversation again the next day, once you’re rested and regain a little perspective.
And while you’re at it, now that we’ve debunked this seriously bad “never go to bed angry” idea, maybe consider questioning some other so-called “great relationship advice” out there. If it just makes conflict worse, why listen to it?

The difference between Em Rusciano and her husband going on an overseas trip

His pre departure routine looked a lot like this:
1. Pack
2. Fly to Italy.
As I type this I’m preparing to leave my family for 14 days. Sorry what? Is it a lovely European bike riding holiday?
No, it’s two weeks of WORK thank you for asking. (Pettiness level = Expert.)
I’m fairly sure hostages have been extracted from highly volatile situations with less planning and negotiating than what is currently going on in my house, so that I may leave relatively guilt and anxiety free.
No s**t, I’ve put together an excel spread sheet so that everyone knows where they’re meant to be and how they’re getting there and back.
Meals have been planned, birthday presents pre-purchased and reminder notes attached to the walls. My list is 32 items deep! Go back and look at my husband’s. What a life eh?
Preparing for this trip away has clearly bought to light that I do too much for my family and I need to put a stop to it. At 1am last night as I was freezing meals, I realised that I’ve been trying to control things through care for far too long and the end of that story is: I’m exhausted.
A level of tiredness settled into my bones over the past year and I just couldn’t figure out why. Initially I thought it may be my iron levels or terrifyingly enough a surprise pregnancy but no, it’s because I still cut the crusts off my 14 year old’s sandwiches, pay the bills, clean and make everyone’s rooms and beds and provide all the meals seven days a week all while trying to maintain a fulltime career.
Look, I know a lot of you are reading this thinking: AND?! This is my reality too princess, get over yourself. First off: calm down. Secondly: Yes, fair point. But I ask you this: Aren’t you tired too? When was the last time you left the house without having to consider what the impact would be on the other people in your family? Obviously, if you have small children then you have legitimate time constraints and considerations. However my kids are old enough to do a lot of things for themselves.
It’s mostly my fault, I accept that. I haven’t shown them how to function without me. I’ve been micro managing my family for so long it’s all they know. Ironically, I started doing it because I thought it would make things easier for me in the long run — ha! — what a naive, controlling d***head I was!
What I also have to get better at is accepting the job that they do and not complaining or redoing it. The way my husband cleans the kitchen, for instance, is not going to be the same as me, because I think that you shouldn’t just sweep the crap on the floor into a pile in the corner and hope that the dust fairies come to take it away for you. (Pettiness level = GRAND MASTER WIZARD!)
This trip away is coming at a good time, it will not only remind them of all that I do (which is nice for my huge yet fragile ego) but also show them how they’re totally capable of continuing on without my help.
Upon my return I’m planning a slow retraction of my services. Not an all out retreat, I’m not going to take to the couch and shout orders while hard bodied young men feed me grapes (although let’s stick a pin in that idea for later, OK you guys?) No it will be far gentler than that.
Perhaps you could think of me as the tide, slowly easing back from the shore in a natural and delicate fashion so as not to disturb the delicate ecosystem around me but slowly disappearing nonetheless.
Wait. The tide comes back in though doesn’t it?
OK so in this scenario I am a rare and special tide that has always been in, I have filled up the space on the shore for many years and now my time to go out into the open sea has come.
I’m willing to concede that my tide analogy has flaws, but I’m sure you get the gist.

Paramedic bride stops to help car crash victims while still in her wedding dress

The ‘paramedic bride’ is grabbing global attention after she was photographed at the scene of a car accident in her wedding dress.
The photo has gone viral since the Firefighters Worldwide posted the picture on their Facebook page praising Ray for her dedication to the job.
Ray had just tied the knot with fellow paramedic Paul when she received news no bride ever wants to hear: members of her family had been involved in a serious car crash.
Her grandparents and father were on their way to the wedding reception when another driver ran a red light and slammed into them.
The newlyweds didn’t hesitate for a minute: they put on their paramedic hats and rushed to the scene dressed in their best to offer any help they could.
“Anybody in the EMS field would’ve done the same thing,” Ray told News Channel 5 in Nashville, Tennessee.
The accident happened less than 3km from the church.
“I went in there to check up on and see how (my grandmother) was doing, and she was upset that she had ruined my day, and I told her that it wasn’t her fault,” Ray said.
The photo was taken by Ray’s mother Marcy Martin at the accident scene in Clarksville, Tennessee.
She said she loved the photo because it showed her daughter’s “character” and “beauty”.
Ray on the other hand couldn’t believe her mother was still taking photos at the scene of the crash.
“I just have to laugh because I know the face I’m giving my mum like, ‘Really mum? Are you really taking a picture?” she said.

True love bloomed early for Sydney doctor and his glamorous bride

Rafael, a doctor, moved to Sydney in 2008 for a work opportunity and a mutual friend thought he would be a good fit with Claire, who works in fundraising and events at the University of NSW.
Their friend was right. The pair clicked immediately and chatted the night away on their first date in October of 2012 at Bronte, the same beachside suburb where they now live.
“We had a lot of fun together and our families really clicked, too. My two brothers really liked him, which helped, and we wanted the same things — we were moving in the same direction,” Claire, 31, says.
“We dated for a while. I moved in with him a month before we went on a safari in South Africa in December, 2013. My lease was expiring, so it wasn’t hard to convince me to move to Bronte.”
Rafael encouraged Claire’s mum, dad and two brothers to join them on their African adventure, promising to be the best tour guide they’d ever had.
“It was quite special as I got to meet his family too, especially his mum, who sadly passed away a few months later from breast cancer.
“So we went on safari and on one of those days Rafael and I got up at 5am and he took me to a famous lookout called God’s Window. When we got to the top of the lookout, Rafael nervously started mumbling. He then got down on one knee, which was almost cut from the rock, and he proposed.
 “It was just beautiful. And he had organised a big breakfast with my family at the lodge (where we were staying), and then went to Cape Town to celebrate again with his family — it was really special.”
Just over a year later they were married in front of 120 friends and family at Dunbar House at Watsons Bay.
“It was perfect,” Claire says. “It was the day of the state election and was forecast to be the worst weather, but it was 25 degrees and sunny, not a cloud in the sky.
“The whole day was really special. We had guests from overseas, including Rafael’s dad who I hadn’t met when we went to South Africa because he is a doctor on a cruise ship and was away — so that was special.”
The couple’s colour scheme for the day was big and bold and bright, featuring vibrant plums and fuchsias and accentuating an old Hollywood glamour theme that Claire had planned.
“We had really colourful flowers and bridesmaid dresses, and we injected some Polish and South African traditions into the day, which was really nice. In Polish tradition, people yell out ‘gorzki’, which means ‘bitter’. So when something is bitter, you have to make it sweet and kiss — so that kept happening all though the night (guests yelling out gorzki), which was fun,” she laughs.
“Rafael’s best friend came from South Africa and brought us these traditional fur hats, and guests were given little jars of tea as gifts labelled ‘Claire and Rafael, a perfect blend’ — it was a really great day.”
After honeymooning in Tasmania for a week the newlyweds happily discovered they were pregnant, with their baby due on Christmas Day.
“It’s really exciting, we are just getting everything organised and ready for baby’s arrival,” Claire says.
“It is my parents’ first grandchild, too, which makes this extra special for everyone.”

Residing together but unmarried Boosts Your intellectual fitness?

a few new research adds to the findings of, as an example, latest surveys (hyperlink is external) that  more youthful human beings, in particular, are more involved with building a superb, maintaining dating than with marriage, in keeping with se. The current take a look at found that both ladies and men enjoy as plenty of a lift in their emotional properly-being whether or not they pass in collectively or marry. It changed into a chunk extra for girls, however interestingly, that boost occurred similarly amongst males and females who had a prior dating that didn’t work out.

That finding is significant. I assume it reflects the reality that shape an enduring love relationship with the right partner calls for a previous failure or two. Such experiences are like a “leavening” of the inner self; it builds the foundation for studying what type of character – his or her values, man or woman, outlook on lifestyles — meshes with who you are, alongside the ones dimensions. That increases the probability that a pair will grow collectively, emotionally, sexually, intellectually and spiritually, in preference to develop aside.

This new study, defined on this report from Ohio country college (hyperlink is outside), became based totally on information gathered all through the 2000s. It located that, for teenagers who moved on from a primary relationship, each men and women received similar emotional boosts whether they moved in with their 2d associate or got married to them.

The findings advocate an evolving function of marriage among young people today, said Sara Mernitz, (hyperlink is outside) co-author of the study. “Now it appears that younger people, in particular girls, get the identical emotional boost from transferring in together as they do from going directly to marriage,” she stated. “There’s no additional boost from getting married.”

Useful for Divorced people

Serial monogamy – the pattern in which two humans couple in sexually specific relationships for a time, cut up, and re-couple exclusively with a person else – has replaced classical monogamy in which young human beings marry as virgins, remain sexually different for their complete lives, and turn out to be celibate after their partner’s dying.

As a social pattern, serial monogamy unavoidably creates some families with more than one dad and mom associated with youngsters via diverse legal, organic, and emotional connections. mother and father who was once romantic partners regularly grow to be trying to parent out a way to create a viable co-parental courting when they have been unable to create or sustain a spousal relationship. For the many people in this case, remaining on high quality terms with a former accomplice/modern co-discern makes the transition less painful for kids and more cooperative for adults (Sheff 2013).

Crafting relationships capable of transition from a romantic phase to a platonic co-parental section can be challenging. Polyaffectivity gives a pathway to continuity and a way to stay connected across time, despite the fact that a sleek ending and beyond. In an technology whilst traditional balance seems to be tough for many to maintain, this new form of stability can show pretty beneficial to everybody who has separated from a large relationship.

Prolonged grownup Connection

those who was a partner or mate and remain platonic emotional intimates don’t need to be exes, for all time defined however what they was once. They may be pals, co-dad and mom, and chosen family members. This extra-sexual allegiance is fundamental to my concept of polyaffectivity, or emotional intimacy among non-sexual members linked by way of poly relationships. increasing vital adult relationships past sexual confines, whether or not they may be former sexual partners or polyaffective partners who don’t have sex, presents human beings with greater templates for interaction and picks in how to outline relationships.

this does not suggest that each courting can or ought to endure: some relationships are negative, hurtful, dangerous, or even violent. those poor relationships must stop, and in the ones instances poly and serial monogamous humans make fantastic actions of their lives when the without a doubt stop negative relationships.

a wider range of picks are becoming increasingly critical, as the constrained range of conventional dating templates definitely do not work for lots human beings. human beings in developed nations stay a ways longer now than anyone used to, and these longer lifestyles spans encompass more time to alternate and probably develop apart. If they're to remain in relationships, a number of those long-lived humans require the room to shift and expand through the years, outside the narrow confines of sick-becoming social scripts.

Others is probably wiser to avoid organizing their lives round marriage and as an alternative make investments their emotional and material assets in something more long lasting than romantic love, crafting relationships that provide reciprocal care and guide with siblings, buddies, or other chosen circle of relatives contributors. This want not imply an cease to sexual relationships or childbearing, truely a shift wherein courting(s) take on realistic and emotional (if now not sexual) primacy.

Sleek Endings

swish endings are those in which human beings deal with every different decently sufficient (at least most of the time) that they may be able to stay pleasant or cordial afterwards. due to the fact poly relationships are completely voluntary and negotiated -- rather than encoded in non secular or cultural regulations –the humans in the ones relationships are required to shape the parameters in their interactions via themselves. whilst a courting can cease without a person being at fault, the social mandate for couples to stay collectively and glued in precisely the equal manner at all expenses can loosen up.

as the stigma in opposition to converting or ending relationships subsides, the subsequent drop in shame and blame simultaneously decreases the need for previous fanatics to live collectively till they have exhausted their staying power and sympathy for every different, and in all likelihood lied to or betrayed each other in the process. If it turns into clear that a relationship now not meets the individuals’ needs or works for people who've grown apart, accepting the change and transferring to accommodate new realities can contribute to greater sleek endings and transitions. folks that are capable of amicably give up one segment in their relationship are more likely so that you can easily transition into a brand new section characterised by means of persevered connection, communique, and cooperation. As one respondent said: ‘Don’t drag it out till the sour give up, disemboweling every different alongside the way. break up up whilst you could nevertheless be friends, earlier than anybody does some thing they'll regret later.’
