Is it ok to stop a heated conversation for a minute, hour or day. I say, yes, it is. Why say something you might regret? Or, use a tone (attitude), volume, words that will only serve to spiral your "argument" out of control. The actual word, argument, can provide the factors which lead to a heated or angry discussion; however, it doesn't have to be a fight. What you might consider doing is providing reasons you are thinking the way you do. Example, "I don't want to visit your parents right now because I feel stressed and uncomfortable, or, I'm very tired. "Can you help me with this?" Your partner may say, "YOU never want to go with me to see my parents." The idea is to not feel boxed into the corner of a room with nowhere else to go. The idea is to reformulate the situation into a manageable plan that's comfortable for both.
