Are those nights when you can't sleep, because you've been fighting and you're on the couch. You can't sleep because you're so used to holding on to your husband and snuggling up to him, but you don't want to give in and say you're sorry because you *know* you're right, and you're stubborn.
*sigh*

I'm *always* right (even when I don't know why I'm upset)!

Another not so joyous side: You want a baby and he wants to wait because you're broke... and you know he's right but it doesn't make you feel any better.

X-Post from journal:
So last night...
Me: Our anniversary is in a week. Is there anything you want to do?
B: Well we can't go out to dinner.
Me: Do you have any other ideas?
B: Not particularly. *continues with his snack and stares at tv*
Then I said I had a tummy ache (which I did) and went to the bedroom and cried until I fell asleep for two hours. I felt so lonely. B just walked around acting like nothing was going on (as he does when there's a problem because he's afraid of any sort of confrontation). 
For such a nice guy, he can be so insensitive at times. I know he's not trying to be mean, he's just afraid of getting into an argument. We hardly ever argue. I don't get it... I've tried to express to him that just pretending things don't exist WILL NOT make them go away. We've had the same conversation a million times. I really don't know how else to get through to him.

OK, you need to turn the tv off and YELL at him, giving him no choice but to hear you. I am serious..Try it, a marriage has to have disagreements and arguments or resentments eventually build.. LOL Oh and who the heck am I to be giving advice on marriage, but its true

We aren't big on the YELLING around here... It's not that we never disagree, it's just that it seems Brad will go to any length to avoid it... which usually makes it worse... and yes, we've talked about this too.

*hugs* Carrie. My husband is exactly the same. Will avoid confrontation at all costs.
If I am in a bad mood with him he will badger me until I tell him what is wrong but he never tells me if he is upset
