How often do you fight with your SO?

Just wondering if we're one of those couples who "fight to get along" - I don't think so. It certainly doesn't take much to set one of us off. What about you?

We talk. :)

We sulk in silence until one of us gives in. How old are we again??

Oh, how I have learned from past relationships. :rofl:

:pals:

It's amazing how little discord there can be in a relationship when you're both willing to actually communicate, and always take care to treat your partner with respect. Always, always respect.

It's teh best. :hi:

Isn't it great? It's a refreshing change from past relationships, most def.

:hi:

I avoid it like the plague

because it is UN PLEASANT

I voted "other"...

We rarely fight...

We might get a little heated now and then, but that's about it...

We've been married a long time, and we mostly see eye to eye...

And even when we don't, we know better than to flame one another...

We love and respect each other, and we'd like to see our marriage (42 years and counting) to go on indefinitely!

:hi:

I like to yell and scream and he doesn't, which I hate.

He's always like "when you're ready to talk about it let me know" and it pisses me off even more. I need to yell and scream for a bit during a fight or it's not really a fight. It would be a talk.
Yeah, I like to fight! :P :)

Seriously, we don't "fight" too often. Once in awhile.

She tells me what to do and I say yes dear.

it's not really fighting. One of us will snipe at the other one, the snipee will lash out, and then silence descends for several days. Good times. :eyes:

Not bad after 12 years of being together. Now if we could just figure out how to not have the same fight over and over again, we could probably limit our number of fights to 0-1 per year.

and one when we were exhausted, stressed and worried out of our minds.

we don't fight. :shrug:

:-)

She had no place to go and slept at a truck stop and in her car for a week.

I loved her dearly, and still do to some extent, but she threatened to "beat the fuck outta me". AGAIN! Last straw for me, and I sent her packin'.

This is what our ten year old declared one afternoon when we were debating something (it was something silly like who starred in a specific film or something equally mundane.)

We debate stuff and that is pretty common. We actually "argue" maybe once or twice a year. I just can't imagine sustaining a lot of drama for too long, and after 15 years together there is just not too much left to fight about. Plus, we had to learn how not to use words like "always" and "fault" and several of the other words that hurt more than they help.

I agree with whoever it was upthread that said they fought more AFTER they got married. We lived together before we got married and had no issues. We got married and suddenly EVERYTHING was worth fighting about because it was gonna go on FOREVER(!) That first year was a bitch but after that it has been fine.
