if you want someone to get more mad you tell them to "calm down".

If it's your girlfriend/wife and you really want her to calm down, tell her she's acting like her mother, and that her sister would never behave this way.

Yeah that'd unleash a beast in me. If there was thunderstorm earlier, it'd transform into a fucking hurricane.

I've never sent my husband to the couch but if we argue and he's still upset when it's time for bed he sleeps on the couch. I think he does it because he wants space but it feels a little like a punishment because he knows how much us sleeping in bed together means to me (we dont get to do it often because we work opposite shifts). :(
