A few disagreements but we both are usually ok. He doesn't yell, which used to frustrate me if I knew he was grumpy, but honestly if he did yell I would just cry.EssentiallyJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372695554793237026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-6436790779560580572015-06-17T11:31:42.807+10:002015-06-17T11:31:42.807+10:00Robbie and I rarely fight, but we do have some str...Robbie and I rarely fight, but we do have some strong "disagreement discussions" on occasion! :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650193963974000786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-3167530958456577272015-06-16T21:48:09.523+10:002015-06-16T21:48:09.523+10:00I grew up in a house with lots of fighting and I m...I grew up in a house with lots of fighting and I made sure I chose a partner who was as laid back as possible. He has rubbed off on me over the years and we rarely even raise our voices to each other.

But I grew up in a house where my parents didn't fight much. My dad had a temper and would yell about something and then sulk. Because I wasn't exposed to much fighting I really struggle being around others fighting now, so I'm not sure how I'd go in a relationship.

We have arguments, disagree...ha ha, love the photo! We have arguments, disagreements or whatever you want to call them but we don't fight as in yell or slam doors etc. Perhaps that's happened a handful of times in our 10 years. We're both not really into full on fighting, it's more of arguing our point in a normal talking tone and if either of us don't get the wrong way we move on to doing something else and come back to it later.

And it's awfully hard to win an argument if the other person won't engage.

Unfortunately he does that too so we just yell at each other and get nowhere most of the time. But then we eventually get over it and talk like adults.Finding Myself Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214517047937382835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098216570036485569.post-11417580065805880212015-06-16T09:01:08.158+10:002015-06-16T09:01:08.158+10:00Well I love the photo AND your final line. :o) Thi...Well I love the photo AND your final line. :o) This is a great post, Cate. Doug and I rarely fight but when we do - LOOK OUT! We are both very strong personalities and on the rare occasions when we do fight it's loud and ugly. Afterwards we usually keep to ourselves for a little while and it doesn't take us long to come back around. We are both apt to apologize.
