Quote: often if you agree with a person who is angry with you they will end up defending you.
Quoting myself to hijack your thread (sorry) but just thinking about how this is EXACTLY how my H has approached every conflict we've had. I coined it "the reverse pout"
The overall concept, applicable to more than arguing, is in the DR book. Michele called it the seesaw effect. But you could probably still write a short treatise on it, title it "The Reverse Pout" and publish it, trademark the title and put the slogan on mugs and bumper stickers, though.
