The Catalyst of Arguments
Many arguments between men and women can begin from seemingly trivial irritations, which can escalate if not addressed early. Men often underestimate these minor provocations, mistakenly believing they are insignificant. This tendency can lead to larger conflicts as the initial irritation grows, creating a feedback loop that exacerbates the situation. Addressing small issues promptly, akin to pulling out a newly sprouted weed, can prevent them from becoming rooted problems in the relationship.
