Like raised their voice in an argument?

Once or twice in 15 years. Me a lot more. But I grew up in a shouty family.

stubbyboardman · 01/08/2019 21:52

Probably 5 times in the 20 years together, and three of those in the first year when we were young and stupid and drank too much.

He doesn't express himself in that way, I wouldn't stand for it and he just isn't that sort of person. We disagree a lot, but respectfully.

Jamhandprints · 01/08/2019 21:52

A lot, but that doesn't mean it ok. It's up to you if you think it's ok or not. Also maybe depends what they shout.

MartiniDry · 01/08/2019 21:53

Never. He knows that he'd be told to leave if he shouted at me. I don't shout at him either.

PixieLumos · 01/08/2019 21:54

Never. We’ve been together 9 years.

Knittedfairies · 01/08/2019 21:54

Never. We've had disagreements but neither of us are shouters.

Knittedfairies · 01/08/2019 21:55

(Forgot to say married 44 years)

dalmatianmad · 01/08/2019 21:55

We've been together for 8 years, can honestly say not once. He has too much respect to shout at me.
I was in a horrible abusive relationship for 15 years and he knows what that did to me....

BathTangle · 01/08/2019 21:56

Never. Been together 20 years.

lurkingfromhome · 01/08/2019 21:57

Hardly ever in 20 odd years. We argue and bicker and piss each other off sometimes, but he is mild mannered and a much more tolerant person than I am, so it takes a lot for him to really raise his voice.

OrianaBanana · 01/08/2019 21:58

Never. He’ll raise his voice but not shout, and it’s rarely directed at me, more frustration about something else.

Jaz994 · 01/08/2019 21:58

Never.. been together 4 years now. I wouldn't tolerate being shouted or sworn at personally

Rainycloudyday · 01/08/2019 21:58

I’ve never once heard him shout in ten years.

Stormwhale · 01/08/2019 21:59

We shouted at each other loads when we first got together in our teens, but after a year or so together it stopped. We have now been together for 10 years, married for one and I cant remember the last time we argued. It is years and years since dh has shouted at me. I possibly have shouted more recently when stressed and hormonal.

P1nkHeartLovesCake · 01/08/2019 21:59

Never!

Don’t get me wrong we have little disagreements but dh has NEVER raised his voice at me, he can argue his point in a calm way but then he works in law so I guess his use to it

WhoKnewBeefStew · 01/08/2019 21:59

He’s got annoyed at me, but in the over 3 yes we’ve together he’s never shouted at me

SallyWD · 01/08/2019 22:00

We've been together 16 years and I don't think he's ever shouted at me. Don't get me wrong. We've had arguments where he's been pissed off and angry but I can't remember him ever shouting.

KeepFuckingOff · 01/08/2019 22:00

Never, it’s not acceptable to us.

PolkadotLollipop · 01/08/2019 22:00

Maybe 4 times in 20 years. I’m maybe 10 times (not a source of pride for me).

Wincarnis · 01/08/2019 22:01

DP never. Ex DH every day.

SamBeckett · 01/08/2019 22:01

Never , we would occasionally disagree but never even slightly raised voices.
We were together for 18 years

Guiltypleasures001 · 01/08/2019 22:03

13yrs together, never that I can remember, but he knows Ide go off the deep end.
I rant and rave, he rolls his eyes at me, we very rarely argue if ever.

cookieoclock · 01/08/2019 22:03

A few times. I’m not innocent though.

TheFlis12345 · 01/08/2019 22:05

Never, not once in 7 years and I wouldn’t still be here if he did. A very occasional slightly raised frustrated voice moment from both of us over the years (always with apologies afterwards), but neither of us has ever shouted.

SudowoodoVoodoo · 01/08/2019 22:06

Two or three times in nearly 20 years? My temper is louder if that blows, but that's rare, not even annual, and my mood resumes back to normal pretty soon after it's vented.

We rarely have disagreements and normally discuss things very amicably.
