Angles and Perspective

Children's Book
I've started the concept for a children's book about a young irresponsible prince. I may post a few snippets later once I start to flesh out the details. I've been struggling with finding the motivation to sit down and type up my ideas. I have no interest in publishing it, as of yet. However since I do have many ideas about themes and the narrative I might as well write it and save it for later.

Mental Rant
Currently, I'm having a difficult time keeping my attention focused on anything productive for more than mere seconds because of a conflict he and I had on Sunday. I feel very disrespected by a few things that he has done lately but it seems as if communicating with him is nearly impossible. So, after an infantile attempt at discussing it, we reverted right back to our passive-aggressive tendencies. Now, I'm annoyed because he knows exactly how to press my buttons. He doesn't call to cancel plans that we have together, instead he stands me up. Which, I believe is an immature attempt to intentionally piss me off under a false pretense with the excuse "you wouldn't want to have lunch with me anyways". After being in this relationship for over 3 years, we have our happy moments and then we step into an argument and it fosters so many doubts in my mind about whether we should go on like this. Our arguments are never productive, they're about as stable as nitro.  He's giving me the silent treatment and I just want to respond to it  by calling everything off. I guess we'll see how this turns out.

...In the end everything in life (including arguments) is about perspective and different angles isn't it?

Update 7/1/2009
He and I finally talked. I swallowed my pride and called him 5 times while he was in the bathroom (I didn't know). We had a seemingly timid, but effective, conversation and then went to bed knowing that we need to work on our communication skills in the future.
