half way serious

For anybody in a committed relationship, do you ever have those moments where the night is going perfect...almost too perfect. There is laughter in the air. Jokes are flowing freely. Engaging conversation is easy. Then all of a sudden, one person says something that is half way serious and half way joking, but the other person only hears it being half way serious. The laughter has stopped. The jokes are more like accusations. And the conversation has turned to cold shoulder silence. How does it happen so fast? Well, right now I'm down stairs typing and Jill is upstairs watching TV. Need I say more. This sucks!!! I guess I should go upstairs and figure this whole mess out.

(30 minutes later)

Well that didn't work out very well. Jill and I are both pretty frustrated. I'm feeling pretty insecure right now. I know she still loves me, it just comes out awkwardly, maybe even misguided. Why do we say such hurtful things?
