my temper is better than my wife's.  No matter whose fault it is, I always go up to her and apologize to her.  Our 冷戰 never goes more than 20 minutes...

I do not consider 讓步 == 投降.  I read many cases, real or fictional, if couples in 冷戰, they might do something stupid.  For example, if one is in critical condition and he/she phones the other but because they are in 冷戰, the other does not pick up the phone....

So I always choose not to 冷戰.  Step back and say I am sorry will do both parties good.  When she cools down and I will try to reason with her and she will be more willing to listen at that point.
