But since, we always talk about the balancing act of relationships here, this is a good time to look at the dynamics of what is obviously POOR communication. I'm not taking either the guy's or woman's side in this video, obviously this is a biased snapshot of their situation without knowing their full life context. Regardless you can still figure out what NOT to do if you ever find yourself in an heated situation like this with a partner. (gay, straight, or bi doesn't matter) To take this thread further, if you were either the man or woman how could you have handled the situation better? If wanting to get your point across about how your spouse/partner is irrational or outrageously demanding (beyond the normal range) is it acceptable to have candid recordings like this? Or is this a breach of trust in what is supposed to be a private moment between a couple, married or not?
The man seemed as though he was egging her on and just basically humiliating her. The woman was acting extremely irrational and it seems that she believes it's OK to act like this considering his reaction towards her acting out. It seems that this couple has crossed way too many lines in their relationship that has violated both boundaries. If I were the man I would have calmly pulled over and told her when she calms down then we can talk. And the woman she should have calmly said what she wanted to do and if he had other plans then she should have got into her own car and did what she wanted..

wow that lady is really childish... but the guy was definitely egging it on and patronizing her. I also think its the epitome of disrespect to put the video on youtube. If I were in that situation....well, I wouldn't be in that situation. If my boyfriend didn't want to go to the lake with me I would probably be thrilled to have an excuse to call my girl friends and have a girls day lol. I don't think thats really a fight you can analyze and figure out how it could have been avoided. It wasn't even really a fight, it was just a woman whining like a 2 year old and a man patronizing her like he's her daddy.
That fight, is obviously has deeper meaning to the woman than "going to the lake", that much is clear. Here are some determining factors that'd sway my vote on who I relate to more in this situation IF I KNEW THE FOLLOWING: 1. When they went out on this trip was the original plan to go to visit the Lake? Or was this a spontaneous demand made by the wife? 2. How much gas did they have in the tank of their car? The husband talked about getting his tires rotated, was it imminent because he had an appointment scheduled with the mechanic? (Sidenote: Knowing how guys think, a task like this working on a piece of equipment in the context of maintaining a car which I assume both wife and husband use, is seen as a selfless chore, not a selfish act as the wife in that video seem to be interpreting) 3. How often does the husband make an effort to spend intimate time with his wife outside of sexual activity? (This matters to women a LOT and should be balanced with sexy time to avoid a lady feeling like a sex object, western culture has triggered red flags to go off given how women were treated as such objects in the past. If only they had gotten it right from the beginning...*sighs*) 4. How often does the wife behave like this when she feels she's not getting her way? 5. The wife mentioned she worked and brought some $ into the household, would the trip to the lake really have been unaffordable as the husband claimed? Let's take a look at those finances and let the #'s and the law speak. (specifics: laws that impact finances, like tax law both state and federal, and write-offs) ---- So, how do you avoid pitfalls like that in the relationship then?
I think the video is staged. The man is obviously egging her on, the woman knows she is being filmed and makes no objections to it. I've also never seen a grown person throw a temper tantrum like that in real life. I've seen similar things on TV, though...
Wife - Take a course and get a sailing licence. Take your own car, catch a taxi,bus to the lake so you don't have to depend on someone who has obviously let you down in the past.
whiny, crying spoiled bitch. Good riddance! A grown woman trowing a temper tandrum (kicking legs in air) as my daughter did when she was a little girl. At least he could have shown us her titts as reward for listening to all that crying.
I just watched the video and I must say I agree with Lively on the.... Yeah, that. But really this is a text book example of how NOT to communicate with your partner in my opinion. That lady has totally lost her cool, and what does the guy do? He is being a fucking dickhead by simply laughing at her condescendingly like everything is HER fault when, in actuality, he is just as much to blame. If I were in the same situation, then first of all, I would NOT be recording the fucking thing and laughing at her. This really is no laughing matter IF it was a legitimate argument. And that's why I agree with Lively on the speculation that this thing might have been staged. I would also really talk about the issue with her. It takes two to tango, and this was a bad combination, thus they ended up being their worst selves in front of each other.......is my personal guess. Let's hope that each of them has since found a partner who positively complements rather than negatively provokes the other.
They're both morons. The woman is just ridiculous, throwing a tantrum like a child. And what the fuck was she doing, sticking her feet out of the window? lol And the man is just egging her on and making it worse. They should get a divorce.
:2thumbsup: why would you behave like that knowing you were being filmed? God, if that is not staged.... d'oh
