Why Do guys......

I got in an argument with my best guy friend on Sunday, and he hasn't spoken to me since then. WTH is that? Why do guys refuse to discuss things that bother them.

it's not just a guy thing, it's universal...i know i do it too. mostly i do it because i hold my anger inside and it just stays there until i let it out. give him time, he should come around.

I learned the hard way that Mr. honeychile has to go back into his cave, ponder the problem, then emerge with his solution. Of course, I then disagree and it's back to the cave for him...

I've always found the opposite to be true.

When I've had arguements with my husband or boyfriends (well, not at the same time), they'd always want to talk it out whereas I would just want to clam up and let it fester for awhile and mope.
So when they'd ask me what's wrong I could just not look at them and say "nothing". I thought that was a girl thing???

I'm definitely a hasher-outer (?). I hate to leave things unresolved, and there's nothing worse to me than going to bed or work or class angry at my significant other. The boy, on the other hand, likes to let things simmer for a while, and then he's fine. Luckily, we only argue once every six months or so.

Glad to see you don't argue with your husband and boyfriends at the same time lol. That would be stressful.
