You and your boyfriend, Spencer, didn't usually argue, much less the way you did two nights ago. And honestly, you both knew it was a futile and silly reason, not worth your time and energy.
Not knowing how to make peace, or vent your anger in a healthy way, you stopped talking to each other, even though you lived together. Suddenly, you were a 6-year-old child receiving the silent treatment again.
Spencer and you hated this situation, it was uncomfortable and ridiculous, but you preferred to keep your pride.
When he came home from work after a difficult week and saw you sulking on the couch and continuing to ignore him, he decided it was time to end all this nonsense.
Your boyfriend approached you slowly, trying to test whether or not to continue, but when you didn't move away, he wrapped his arms around you and started tickling you.
Of course you laughed, there was no way to resist, no matter how hard you tried, and you ended up letting yourself give in to the moment.
"Come on, I'd rather see your beautiful smile than your pout on your lips when you're angry," Spencer says, feeling his own shoulders relax after this terrible week, just hearing your laugh.
