I agree with @
Kim, ime both SLE and LSI take my anger (directed at them) very seriously, esp bc there's a sort of unspoken understanding that I'm mostly laid back about everything, so when I am angry, it's serious. I feel an obligation not to take advantage of this too, at the risk of falling into the "crying wolf" game.
The exceptions are when it's very obviously play-fighting, at which point the physical contact overrides everything else. Or when the anger is directed toward a third-party, which is very amusing for them so I keep it up and up the dramatics to make them laugh.
Idk, ime a fight is a full-blown fight, which needs an emotional cleansing (tears) from one or both sides to be resolved. Everything else is just playing, and the emotional atmosphere is very light and jovial to reflect that. The whole pissing each other off and laughing about it sounds very Gamma to me...
i.e. last week my LSI bf was incoherently drunk before I even got home, at like 7:30 in the evening. He always does this when he's out with friends, and I don't say anything. I got way too pissed this time though, and I acted a bit like Winona in terms of my tone (this is too much! *arm flail*). He was very upset by this - remember that Beta ST is very much affected by our moods - he left me at the restaurant we were at. When I got home I saw that he had been crying (he never cries) and that made me also cry. Then we kissed and made up. Proper Beta-worthy drama.
JW is just wondering..
And are you dating ENTp or ESTp? I got a little confused..
