My sister and my boyfriend are very similar in this aspect... they both leave "arguments" with something like, "ok, you're right" (sarcasm) or "I don't like arguing".

I don't like arguing either, and I could never figure out what they thought I was arguing.

I realized last night, that when trying to fix a misunderstanding, I just try to explain WHY I did what I did, or WHAT I meant from what I said.  And suddenly, I'm arguing with them.  Ironic, no?  That I try to fix something to make them not irritated with me, and suddenly I'm arguing.

Example...

Sister:  You didn't clean up your plate.
Me:  Well, your piece of pizza was sitting in my plate, so I didn't take it away yet.
Sister:  You're right, it's my fault (sarcastically).

-- How does it make it sound like I like to argue... both of them take it as a personal attack when I try to explain ~myself~ and think that I'm telling them that they are wrong -__-'.

So confusing :(.  I hate arguments more than both of them too :(.

I get this a lot.  It stems from them being unable to take criticism and/or coming to understand misunderstandings

REMIX:

Sister:  You didn't clean up your plate.
Me:  I apologize, I had not realized you were finished with your pizza.
Sister:  It's okay. Lets have make-up sex.

Wait, maybe that's a boyfriend only scenario.

My boyfriend and I very rarely get into disagreements, but when we do it's usually a few words said and we give up.
