Helping us all get along

Dowdy's tips 4. Just shut up you tit

If you live with someone, married, flat sharing, whatever, it is human nature that sometimes the act of this person breathing in and out will make your teeth itch. Its usually over something petty and stupid, but can be used as a springboard to hurl you into an emotional abyss you were both previously unaware of.
In England Bank Holidays are particularly dangerous, your mind has way too much time to turn utter bullshit into solid fact. When you get this feeling, shut up and go and listen to your favourite tunes, read a book or watch a film (not Henry portrait of a serial kiler, classic though it is). After a few minutes you will realise that none of what you were thinking means anything, that your irritation was to do with you not the other person and the world isn't as black as you thought. And relief from argument avoidance sex is fun....
