One of the most heard suggestions about relationships is “never go to bed offended”. No matter how much they argue or get angry, many relationship experts recommend that couples make peace and go to bed.
But Patricia Lamas, a renowned therapist, suggests that couples should angrily go to bed after a fight and sleep with only their toes touching.
Lamas said that the toe-touch rule could save the relationship and even be very harmful for couples not to go to bed angry:
“By touching your toes in bed after an unresolved fight, you show your partner that you still love and care about them despite all the hardships you’ve been through. We were always told not to go to bed until the problem was resolved. This advice can be so harmful to your relationship, sometimes you go back and forth for hours because you can’t find a solution.”
Lamas recommends that couples practice the toe-touch rule in the event of a disagreement before bed: “It’s a sign of ‘We’re sorry and we still love each other and we’re still here, together.’ By making this agreement, you acknowledge that your relationship is your priority and you will keep it safe.”
Lamas’s video with his advice has had more than 1.2 million views on Instagram and TikTok, with many saying they will implement the suggestion.
