Go to bed angry?

You know, I actually think it’s often better to just go to bed angry. Trying to resolve a conflict when you're both exhausted and irritable? That rarely ends well. It's a good idea to hit pause and tackle the issue after a good night's rest.

If the only choices are to sort it out while you're both not at your best or not address it at all, sure, you might try to resolve it while tired. But come on, you’re capable adults. You can definitely handle waiting until tomorrow.

Use that executive functioning to your advantage. Plan a time to talk it over when you're both feeling more upbeat and alert. I have full faith that you can manage this simple task. After all, making thoughtful decisions is part of being a grown-up, right?
