Volatile friendship

I have a v volatile friendship with one of my close friends. Whenever we spend time together, which is a fair bit, we always have a really good and its very enjoyable, however, whenever we're apart we often end up having 'heated discussions' over phone, text etc. There can just sometimes be such switch from very ameniable relations to very tempestuous. The reason why 'heated' discussions occur is always over when we can next see each other, because we always want to see each other asap after the last meeting, but this is obviously not always possible.

Any ideas to stop the heated discussions occuring?

this is lust. When you see him in person again after the phone conversations, does it feel like all what you talked about on the phone is forgotten, and you get on as normal? Just tell him if you dont want the heated discussions

Yes, we'll maybe briefly discuss what was said and apologise to each other and then it feels like bad words were never said and the heated discussions never happened.

My advice is just to stop it. Neither of you seem to want it at all. Have a deep chat about it, otherwise it could get worse.. I think most of these things always happen when you arent going to see someone in a period of time.

Volatile friendships are not fun at all, at best someone gets upset.

To the OP you both need to talk about this.
