Safe Words: Not Just For The Bedroom Anymore

To those of you who know what is going on in the picture to your left, keep reading.  To those of you who don't know, don't you have homework that you should be doing instead of making me feel incredibly old?  This post may not be for you depending on how hardcore your parents are about avoiding any possible talk about sex.  Don't say I didn't warn you (you're welcome for putting Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" in your head).

I have found that the crux of most problems in relationships, whether it's between those you love due to romantic feelings or those you love due to obliga-- I mean familial relationships.  Most of the time it's not that the other person is being a jerk to you, he's just not getting his point across well (which, as I explore a little more in depth, is always the speaker's responsibility!).  You're interpreting it a certain way based on what you're hearing, but often (read: almost every time) it's not what the other person meant.  You then react to what he said based on your interpretation, probably in a snide way, which gets a bad reaction from him, and then it goes on and on and on.  Don't you wish that you could just pull a Zach Morris and call timeout?  Well, copyrights say you can't, but using a safe word is the next best thing.  And doesn't require a ten-pound cell phone.
