Arguments surface in relationships like blossoms appear on fruit trees in the spring.
Kita and I were madly in love and I thought of her often, sending her cute texts throughout the day. That didn’t prevent us from squabbling over when we should eat out or dine in and how we should spend long weekends.
Squeeze the toothpaste tube or roll it from the bottom? Bad enough. But I bought a new suit, my first one in several years, and she said there was one just as nice at the new, upscale resale clothing store down the street.
I huffed and told her what the suit meant to me. She kissed me on the cheek and told me it was okay and she meant well.
But that night in bed, we lay side by side and didn’t make a move for each other.
A few days later, she had another latte-something-pumpkined-up-for-the-holidays and I told her she could make one at home and save a few bucks.
An eye-roll so I told her it was okay and kissed her on the cheek, patted her ass lightly, and mentioned it was something to keep in mind.
Small arguments, right? Ridiculous. Petty.
Our cute texts stopped and my once sexy psyche for her was becoming filled with resentment. What could we do?
