Peace

 "As far as it depends on you, live at peace with all people."

There is no need to start drama. Just be silent if you are upset. Take a nap. Eat a good meal. Think for awhile before you say anything. Take a walk. Watch a good movie. Not every thought you have needs to be said. God reveals things to us at times to show us what to pray for, but we do not have to discuss every little thing we are upset about. 

It is better to stay at peace with others than to start drama. 

A good book about this is Speaking the Truth in Love. It says how we need to be assertive, but not passive or aggressive. If you clearly state how you feel or what you want, that can save you from a lot of fighting. If you never express what you want, you are being passive. Eventually the resentment will build up and you will just leave the relationship. If you lash out every time you are upset, that is being aggressive. You will probably scare the other person away eventually. You have to find the middle ground and keep the peace. Say how you feel but in a calm way. 

Say what you need to say but don't be a maneater, or a woman eater. That is in reference to the 80's song that you all should listen to. :)
