Re: QOTD 7/2

  • We have arguments, I've never been one to all out fight with yelling, screaming and name calling.  That's what H was used to in his first marriage, so sometimes I have to get him back on track.

    I feel like it's a cycle, there's times I feel like that's all we do is fight, and then there's times things are good.  I think we both get depressed in the winter, so that's usually a rough patch.  We've gotten a lot better communicating so it doesn't build and explode, and we've both been working on letting the other person simmer and calm down.  This was probably the most benefical thing we got from our pre-marrital counseling.

  • As my mom says, "argue once a week, whether you need to or not" LOL. This was actually great advice! We do have little arguments, probably at least once a week. I feel like we need to, or else we bottle everything up inside and then it turns into an explosive name-calling fight.

  • We argue more than fight. The last time we had a full out, yelling at each other fight was shortly before the wedding. I find myself annoyed at everything H does lately, but I get like this in the summer...last night I went up to bed at 7:30 because I found I couldn't say anything nice to him, so I removed myself from the scene.

    I have a few CWs that claim they never fight and everything is perfect... I want to throw a chair at them.

  • I don't think that in three years together we've ever had a real fight. We have varying levels of disagreeing, debating, and arguing, but we stop short of yelling and personal attacks. I'm usually pretty pleased with this, particularly since we've both had past relationships that involved some really nasty fighting. But there are times when I worry that not fighting means there's something wrong with our relationship. Nice problem to have, eh?

    Yea ok...cuz that's believable! H and I are never full out yelling and screaming but we disagree and argue it out. People who never disagree are either pushovers or robots.

  • I'm a yeller, but we never name call.  We fought a lot before we closed on the house, from both of us being stressed out.  We also fought a lot about his parents coming over to our new house too much and "fixing" things without asking us about it first.  When they realized they were causing fights they backed off a lot.

    We haven't had a fight in a long time... must be one brewing..  lol!

  • We have little disagreements here and there but but I think that we have only had a fight was when we first moved in together.  There was no name calling or anything like that.  It was mostly my fault, I did not know how to communicate at all.  I learned quickly though.

    And for those that say everyone fights, I say Not true.  I don't think that I ever got into a fight with my XH.  How can this be true you might ask.  It is because we never talked about anything more than what's for dinner and who we should have over for a party.  It was not healthy.

  • We don't get into huge blow-out fights. It's usually short little things where I get irritated at something. I'm the one who raises my voice, but I try not to yell at him...I mostly just get shrieky. haha. He's only yelled at me twice, ever. Almost all of our arguments have to do with his driving and it scaring me. haha.

  • Maybe "fight" is the wrong word. "Fight" has probably only happened three or four times, thereabouts. Bicker or disagree or argue, sure. Once a week, maybe a little more or less depending on any number of factors.

  • We argue more when we're stressed. But we have gotten a lot better at recognizing what is causing it. We communicate very well, I think that's why we've never had an all out fight like I have seen some other couples have,

  • We disagree a fair amount but rarely full on fight.
  • yeah we fight, argue, bicker, annoy each other etc....its more pronounced when we are stressed about any # of things, especially when i ask DH to do something and he procrastinates on it i feel like i have to nag him and then we will argue...

  • We get into arguments, sometimes more often than at other times. We usually have to go to our "separate corners" for a little while after big disagreements and take some time to chill out before we come back together to resolve the issue.
