Relationships: How To Do It The Right Way - Monday - Period Three
Marshall had handwavily asked his students to show up at the Danger Shop today. It had been transformed into a boxing ring and Marshall was standing in the middle. He looked a little uncomfortable today as he stood up in front of the class. He had eaten way too much candy over the weekend. He was pretty sure he needed to go see a dentist or something.
“Eating six bags of Skittles in two hours is not something you want to do guys,” Marshall said. “I still think my tongue is still purple.”
“Anyways, today we’re going to be talking about fights. There is no such thing as a fight-less relationship. There’s a big fights, little fights, fights involving work, fights involving who left the peanut butter lid off the jar. There’s a lot of them. The important thing is to work through them with as little damage as possible.”
“Little fights are easy to brush off. Most likely they involve one person being right and one person being wrong, just like fights you have with friends. There’s a lot of glaring and one person calling the other a stupidface but overall it’s really no big deal. You just have to be careful with the personal insults because, unlike fights with your friends, the fate of your sex life for the next couple of days can depend on whether or not you tell your significant other that their red cowboy boots look stupid in the heat of the moment.”
Marshall paused for a moment, sort of weirded out that he used an argument he had with Ted as an example.
“Big fights are less hard to deal with. Usually both parties are wrong about something and neither want to admit that they are wrong. Feelings get hurt, egos get bruised and it can often make or break a relationship. Someone has to man up first and admit that they did something wrong but do not completely give in. Unless it’s the rare fight that is entirely somebody’s fault. Then you should just fess up to it and lose like you’ve got a pair. It’s best to think out your argument before you say something you really, really regret,” he said. “And if you do say something you regret, then you get to smooth things over during the whole make up process. Which we will cover next week.”
“Today we’re going to fight. And since I think most verbal fights are boring, with the exception of a good ‘yo momma’ brawl, you guys are going to box each other. There’s headgear, mouth guards and boxing gloves over there,” Marshall said pointing at the far wall. “Try not to knock each other’s teeth out.”

Marshall paused, not sure if that was appropriate information to share with a student. Or to share with anybody, really.
