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.
So embarrassing. HAHA!

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.

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.

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.
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.

We are a no yelling.family. 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.
