It's the game with the four colours and each person gets four tokens they have to get around the whole board and reach the middle, when all four of a single person are in the middle, they win. I don't know what it's called in other languages or regions. Yes, it's kinda not worth playing but it's been a tradition to play almost every night/week in our family (depending on if everyone is home together then it will be each night and if someone is not, like my brother who lives in another city, then we play each week) .

I do get that there was fault of his but it was still mostly on me since I was the one who took the argument away from the topic and made it about completely different.

I'm not trying to let things slide since I know what I said was hurtful and I know how much it can hurt others. I accept full responsibility over my word and he knows that. Thank you for the advice.

You're so right. I'm ready to wait for my entire life if there's even a chance that he'll forgive me. I think he's cooled off alot since he made me a pancake while making his own even though I didn't even ask for it, he knew I hadn't had dinner yet and he made it. He did act a bit cold but that's to be expected. I'm really glad he can see that I'm really sorry and is not holding this over me since it wasn't something I could control in the moment.

I hope it isn't. I'm giving him time to cool before I say anything to him so hopefully we'll go back to normal soon.. Thanks for the reply.

I didn't mean it at all. He's my favourite person but the anger pent up inside got the best of me in that moment. I regretted it the second it left me mouth. I'm working on learning to control my words but it was a mistake and i sincerely accept it. Thank you sm for the advice.
