On arguments with the boyfriend

Although every one of our friends think we're the perfect lovey-dovey couple, the truth is, we're not. My boyfriend and I argue on the stupidest things. 

and if we start arguing, we won't stop. With the two of us, we can't back down once we know the other is wrong. and it's really annoying. If the argument gets too late in the night, my boyfriend would stop talking to me, and let the sun dawn on our problems. And the thing is, I do not want to go to bed upset with an argument unsettled. it's pretty hard to meet each other's end, especially if the two of you are complete opposites.   

in the end i do realize, that the "time out" thing he does is his way of cooling his head. once a length of time passes, he starts getting friendly again. As for him, he understands why I want to get things over with. Eventually we seem to be rubbing off of each other. Recently he learned to be  frank and become direct in an argument, if I', upset with him etc, but he'd make sure it ends as soon as possible. Meanwhile I started to learn to just leave things alone. If he's being a prat to me, or if he's arguing incessantly, I pause, distract myself, before answering him back. 

There are also things that I have learnt from arguing with your beloved. That is, to never make your partner cry. There was a time when I got so upset with my boyfriend, that I wanted him to beg for my forgiveness.  He did but it never satisfied me. For two or three days, he was saying sorry, and I was piling all the guilt up until he got fed up. He marched to my school and we had a talk. He gave me a home made cupcake as a gift.

Once your darling cries, then stop and learn to forgive. 

I realized I almost lost him, and I'm glad I realized my mistake before it was too late

 I do wonder, how other couples settle their arguments, and what their arguments are like. Remember, the time after an argument is the sweetest time of all. I don't encourage arguments, but make sure your darling gets showered with your love.
