Guys, Have you ever heard the phrase " Don't let the sun go down on your anger"?

[NoDecision]

Well I say forget that! Stay up and fight!"

[Hardon-Collider]

I can see from a perspective of there being two polar opposite types of anger. Sometimes it takes courage to become angry and fight a bigger animal than you.

Other times anger is caused by lack of courage, losing your shit. ㅤ

I have heard the phrase "Don't go to bed angry" and I think that's wise advice.

Even if you and your partner have an unresolved conflict, you can put it on hold and take time to cool off and contemplate. But before you do, you should tell them that you love them sincerely.
I find that once I have had time to think, I often gain perspective and can better understand my partner's point of view. And as long as I know that she loves me, I can return to the conversation with a desire to seek a mutually satisfactory resolution. That doesn't mean that I compromise my principals or surrender. But if we love each other, it means that we want each other to be happy and will find a way to accomplish that.

Yes but i dont think this means to stay up and keep the fight going. I think it means that anger is an emotion felt in the moment. A day later you won't feel the same anger. It will have transformed from anger to disappointment or hate or something worse then the anger, if you don't LET IT GO...

Its not about fixing everything right then, or before you go to sleep. Its about knowing tomorrow is another day you exist with them again. We can make it a good or a bad one. Be our best or our worst... thats what I think this means not to give up on another person because of our own egos.

Everyone gets mad, but it takes A LOT more energy to stay mad 🙃

[NoDecision]

Its not about fixing everything right then, or before you go to sleep - nope, that is exactly what it means.

[aaron13547]

You can't tighten a screw with a hammer is all im saying...

Both people have to let go together. Love is unconditional.

Anger fixes nothing. Sleep makes it worse. Letting go and coming back together to understand each other is what its about.

Sorry if what I said seemed rude I didn't mean for it to come across that way if it did!

[NoDecision]

I think that stay up and fight was from some movie actress. I'm thinking Phyllis Diller?

[strateguy632]

I am glad a pink asked this. I respond: "typical female, ignore responsibility of jobs". ignore that sleep deprivation is considered torture in picture, just "stay awake arguing accusing' she says, but that is not 'helpful' and is cruel

[MrChinaski]

Or rest up so that you can fight stronger another day. I haven't found the 'never go to bed angry' bromide useful. Though it is fair to say that there, hopefully, aren't many things occur in your entire life that warrant multi-day campaigns of wrath.

[NoDecision]

It means if you have a fight with your mate, instead of seething in anger, make up with them and talk it out and hug it out before going to bed. If you let it fester it will only make things worse. How many divorces occur after having a fight and not taking the time to talk things out?

[MrChinaski]

Yes. But cause and effect? How many divorces occur after avoiding a fight and not taking the time to talk things out, and instead burying it deep and building resentment for each other. There are many ways to kill a marriage... I should know.

[AgentG111]

Yes and at times it may be a good thing. At other times you may need a good night's rest to clear your head and be able to have some calm in your head, life, body in order to focus if that anger was warranted or not and be able to have some better understanding.

[NoDecision]

How many people really sleep well when they have had a fight and are mad?

[AgentG111]

Me, it's helped many times to just get to bed and relax.

[Surely]

I have heard that from lots of people older than myself! That’s how they attribute their decades long marriage.

[NathanDavis]

I don't think I've ever heard it...

does that mean... don't go to bed mad? lol

[NoDecision]

It's in the Bible.

[NathanDavis]

oh okay... so it's open to interpretation?

I rather not fight... prefer to just chill and let it go, lol

[RavVid]

That is because you are a girl and addicted to cortisol to feel alive. :)

[WonderingManII]

It means reconcile with the other person before going to bed.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Yes. Don't get too angry to lay your #boyjoy on her !!!

[CuriousMufuxka]

Not until this question. I've heard never go to bed angry, which is a quote I still live by.

[DryGermanGuy]

No… 🤔 But I have heard of „sunset towns“.

[Miristheiss]

Of course, it is from the Bible.

[Iron_Man]

You gotta fight for your right to party

[Twalli]

It means that you shouldn't go to bed angry.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yep. Its a Bible verse

[In_Trance]

never heard of it

[NoDecision]

Get out of that trance and smell the coffee. Maybe then you will. 😅
