I tend to be more "immediate" in my reaction to situations and will complain or make my view known right away. DH is very laid back and not much bothers him. Every once in a while though, he'll hit his breaking point and get really po'd about something silly, and then have what I deem as an irrational reaction. He's actually having one right now. lol. He just slammed the bedroom door and doesn't want to be near me right now. We disagree on how the nursery should be set up and for whatever reason, it sent him over the edge today. Sadly, he doesn't get over these moods easily either. He'll hold a grudge for most of the day. *sigh* I guess there is always a price to pay for someone who is easy going 99% of the time.

I like to talk about things and DH likes to bottle things up but he doesn't explode or anything. He has almost no temper.

DH and I like to talk things through right away. We get annoyed/pissed with one another, but have never had a real "fight."

@chopsuey119: we are pretty much exactly the same. We have also never had an actual fight.

It's weird. Sometimes he'll start fighting right away, but usually, we both sit and stew for a while. With him, it's usually figuring out whether it matters to him or not. With me, I have to figure out WHY it matters - and usually, it's my problem entirely. The rest of the time, we've had the same goal in mind, just different ideas of how to go about it. Once we figure that out, it's easier to come to a reasonable compromise. (I foresee circumcision being the next argument. He has the final say on that, but I really want him to have a better reason than "well, I am.")

DH isn't one to argue. He doesn't get upset that often. If we argue, it's usually because I'm upset. At which point, I like to talk and he obliges. He only gets upset when I start raising my voice because I'm still caught up in my upset emotion.

Usually, if it's a minor tiff, we just go into separate rooms and cool off and we're fine within the hour.

If it's something major, we usually talk/argue it out!

We we are both stubborn and it takes us awhile to move on, this makes fighting very difficult for us. We try to nip the problem in the bud before it gets to this point.
