Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I take a step back when my GF and I get into a heated argument, especially if it's my fault. If not, we will spend hours arguing, sometimes end up words that hurt. Most times, I even stop talking just to let her win. Usually, I would rather take a walk or work, at least I'm being productive. The latter is critical because I am a freelancer, which means time is literally money for me. But then she says I don't care about her at all; that she's not of any importance.

My point is simple: I want to step away until at least one of us is cooled down. And I'd rather be productive than spend hours upon hours arguing.
