Fair Fighting Rule 9 - Limit The Topic

This fair fighting rule sets forth a number of reasons to encourage discussion of issues as close to the time that they happen as possible. If an issue or disagreement presents itself, deal with it at the moment. The main reason is because the facts surrounding the issue are fresh in the minds of you and your partner. Holding unresolved issues and emotions inside is discouraged. When you finally decide to unload all of that pent up frustration it will likely come out disorganized, unprioritized, and you might even forget a few things you felt were important. The bottom line is this, deal with issues one at a time and, if possible, as they happen.
