you and DH were in a fight? I am Hella mad at DH from a blowout we had this morning. And I get really bad diarrhea of the mouth when I get mad. It's honestly the first big fight that we have had since we've been together, and I am so mad at him I don't even feel like going home?

Re: What's the longest...
Shiit, sorry Lawren... fighting is never fun
.
I think the longest we were in a fight was probably about 2 days. It was on and off. I would think I was ok... that I wasn't angry any more and I'd gotten over the issue, and then something would just click in me and I'd get really angry again.
Honestly, if you don't feel like going home... don't. You might need some time to just sit by yourself and reflect. Maybe go grab a coffee or a bite to eat on your own after work so you can calm down before going home.
GL, I hope you are able to work it out soon

This is me! We actually had a fight, ummm...two weekends ago- we can NEVER agree with the other person when we get into a fight (we're both stubborn)- DH was fuming and just left, i think he was gone for a few hours
we always go through the same cycle- fight begins, there is yelling at each other, both get pissed, which leads to not talking to each other, which leads to pent up anger, then begin to calm down, then realize we love each other, apologize.
the cycle can take anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 days...
but honestly, we almost never come to any middle ground on fights, we just drop the whole thing and wait until the cycle is over, time heals everything!
Let me know how that works! I saw that in the bookstore and thought about getting it for me and DH. I'm not into self help stuff, either, but that looked like something that would actually be interesting.
As for your question, Lawren, once we fought for like a week. It was bad. Besides that dark cloud in our history, the most we've gone has been a day.
That's my problem. I have a really bad mouth on me. It's really easy for me to lose my religion, and I don't want to go home and say anything mean because I know I will. So I think it's better I just cool off before I go home.
If you have the time and opportunity to try and cool off, I would highly recommend it. The things DH said to me in the heat of the moment will always be with me and even though I know he didn't mean any of it, not sure I can ever 100% forgive him for it.
Hope you guys work things out.

1 hour? Maybe 2? When we fight I yell, I slam doors, he fusses at me, I fuss right back. We say things we dont mean - I mean harsh things - but then realize what we both have done. Then we talk about it and make up. Like Bobsbride we rarely fight and when we do it doesnt last long at all. Like this AM we fussed, but now we are ok.
Lawren I hope you guys make up soon!!!
A few hours. The last big fight we had was about six months after we got married. We argue, but it never lasts very long.
We really haven't fought much since my car accident last year. I think it helped put our relationship into perspective for both of us and we just don't get wound up over small things like we used to. Although, I DO NOT recommend being put in ICU as a means for marrital accord.
What happened (with your wreck) ??
Last April I was in a head on collision. And elderly man driving a Navigator hit me. He said he blacked out. I'm a lot better now, just a few more medical things to wrap up. Mostly with dental work.
Thank you. It was bad. But I was driving an old Jeep that was built much sturdier. It actually came out better than his. I likely would have been hurt much worse otherwise. If only it had been equipped with airbags.
A few days before our wedding, I was so mad at FI that I was ready to call off the wedding, that's how bad it was. We have never really had a blow out, and that was bad. Actually it was more one-sided, I was super mad at him for not taking up for me, his mother totally went off on me right before the wedding, with a lot of horrible personal attacks. I felt like he didnt defend me at all, when he really needed to stand up to her. Long story. Im still dealing with it, a little.
