Anyway, Lil and Chrissy, stop fighting with each other, or I'll have to tear down the shower curtain, douse you both with Wesson, and play referee.

Chrissy, of course they should discuss this. My point was that when she throws the first punch, he should not stick around and have the fight, at least not then. That is playing right into her hand. They should have the talk when she can be rational and actually talk, not just hurl insults. And when she is hurling insults, he should not stick around and take it. The convo should be on HIS terms and not be allowed to deteriorate into the name-calling fest that is the way she functions.

The fact that she ran out of steam when hd used the "oh" method is an illustration of the efficacy of this approach.

Yes the talk needs to happen but not on her terms when she is mad and beating hd about the face and shoulders with a rolled-up newspaper (yeah-- another dog image). For her to do that and him to allow it is bad for both of them.
