Talk Over Relationships

Improved Essays
need to talk about it, and that if I bring it up again she will walk out. I find this funny because I drove us here and the only other option she has is to walk home. I don’t laugh though. She is the kind of girl who would do that. She’d walk out and in five minutes she’d be crying on the phone for me to pick her up.
She stops talking and begins looking back at her half-empty drink. I believe fights and arguments are meant to be talked out, analyzed, and fixed. Anything that’s big enough for her to start crying over anyway. So I just sit there telling myself that she’ll be okay and that the reason she doesn’t like to talk over fights is because of how she was raised. Her family is an argumentative but loving family.

They require selflessness and understanding which are both lacked in your average teenager. They require forgiveness and trust which are difficult to grasp in our society. These things I believe are connected to any healthy relationship no matter the age but the brittle being of a teenage relationship seeds out of the inevitability of change. As young people we’re constantly changing. Unless we’re willing to grow with the person we care for and accept the person they’re becoming, the relationship will most likely end on bad terms.

She starts to smile at me and dances a little. I think that her contrasting tastes can be a healthy combatant for my more indie taste. People at the table start singing along. I guess in a relationship you need to have differences in taste to keep things interesting. The music starts to irritate me so I focus on the game. How do people like this music? At least she seems happy. That’s a good thing. Are there even any instruments being used in this? She lays down her last card and the round is over. Hopefully the game will end soon so I don’t have to listen to this awful music. She looks at me though, with her light brown eyes, and I remember why I put up with her. I thought to myself how great it’d be to marry her. I thought about that a lot, marrying her. We’d grow into adults together and years down the road we could look back to who we were. If your childhood and adolescent years determine who you are then how great would it be to marry someone who was a part of your life during those years. She’d understand why I am who I
