    We don’t like this cuz it feels like they’re only into each-other for sexual reasons and when they have a problem that should be discussed they just huff and puff at each-other until the family dog tugs at them and they have sex which never solves the problem. :/

      I read it as them both failing to stay mad at each other when they think the other is willing to show some cheeky affection, despite the bad mood. It doesn’t mean they won’t work out whatever problem started this, but by the dog “breaking the ice”, they can do so with better moods, working together rather than as opponents.

      So, I think it’s really cute. I think reminding yourself of your feelings for your partner, even when you have a disagreement or miscommunication, is often hard but important.

        I guess but it’s definitely feeling like sexual tendencies being the temporary solution to some core issue. IMO: sex is from loving someone, not the other way around for us (and for our partner too) when we have issues we chat about it.
