I hate when people yell at me so I refuse to yell also. But instead I tend to keep everything in..... so that's not good either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-arguefight-with-your-so#post-450483 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 02:13:31 +0000 alayaya 450483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very much a silent treatment kind of person. I will mope and pout and sulk and scowl, but I very rarely yell. I also learned some passive aggression from my father, which I know is totally not a healthy way to fight, but sometimes I can't help it.</p> <p>Hubs also doesn't yell. He usually just tells me he's upset and then says he wants me to leave him alone for a bit. We're both very non-confrontational people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-arguefight-with-your-so#post-450482 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 02:01:15 +0000 runsyellowlites 450482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pretty strict rule for myself that until I can think something other than "idiot" I don't speak..... Sometimes it takes awhile (30+ min) before I'm ready to talk. DH hates it bc he sees it as me shutting down.... I on the other hand prefer not to say things I'll regret later. Lately I haven't been as good about keeping my mouth shut though. Nothing too bad as I don't really fight like I used to but definitely put more gas on the fire as opposed to water. :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-arguefight-with-your-so#post-450446 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 00:37:50 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 450446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he gets upset he talks... a lot. He is an emotional guy! I listen and usually get defensive, so I clam up. Once I calm down then we apologize and hug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-arguefight-with-your-so#post-450432 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 00:16:14 +0000 StbHisMrs 450432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie<br /> exactly the same. I'm awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-arguefight-with-your-so#post-445724 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:29:00 +0000 BabyBear 445724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes here. Hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-arguefight-with-your-so#post-445657 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:16:26 +0000 mrsjyw 445657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: twins! lol i do the same. all of it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-arguefight-with-your-so#post-445454 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:15:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 445454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually it depends on what he did - if i'm really fired up, I know I should do silent treatment til I calm down (I'm a therapist!!) but I just CAN'T STOP. I totally yell and provoke until I get a reaction. If he goes downstairs I'll text.</p> <p>So embarrassing. HAHA! </p>
