Like raised their voice in an argument?

I don't think I've ever been shouted at, but I can remember just once shouting at a boyfriend. He had just shouted at his mum for no good reason (he was drunk) and took my arm and expected me to go storm out with him. I rather loudly told him to get the hell off me and how dare he treat his mum like that?! He was shocked and realised immediately he was wrong.

Never, he doesn't shout, I've shouted at him a couple of times though ☹️

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 01/08/2019 22:08

I would never normally tolerate shouting in a relationship.

moanyhole · 01/08/2019 22:08

Never here too. Together 19 years, some of them very tough but shouting we've never done. Ive raised my voice but DH haa never done that either.

Mammyloveswine · 01/08/2019 22:11

Quite a lot, although more "raised voice" than shouting..same for me..and only once in front of the kids, in the car when he confessed he hadn't brought his keys knowing the cleaner was popping mine through the letterbox so we were locked out. The 4 year old burst into tears. We've never even disagreed in front of the children since.

My parents were (and still are) screaming shouting slamming doors shouters so I've always got that in the back of my mind and how terrified I felt as a child. I was distraught to think my little boy was feeling the same I had.

fromthefloorboardsup · 01/08/2019 22:11

Never. We get frustrated at each other but we never shout. I grew up in a very shouty family and I hated it.

Skittlenommer · 01/08/2019 22:11

Never in 11 years. Even when he is upset/angry he is in full control of his emotions.

LolaSmiles · 01/08/2019 22:14

Never.
We tend to have our grumble alone and then make a decision if it's a small issue to leave it be and if it's a real issue then talk calmly later.

There's been occasional frustrated snapping, but never raised voices or shouting.

DotBall · 01/08/2019 22:14

Fuck me we shout at each other frequently! Frustrations are out in the open and no resentment ever. Still married after 28 years so we’re doing ok.

GiggleMcDimples · 01/08/2019 22:14

In almost 23 years, never.
I have though. Half because of anxiety, half because my hearing is shit and I don't realise I'm raising my voice.

GiggleMcDimples · 01/08/2019 22:15

Not shouting though.

Scrumptiousbears · 01/08/2019 22:16

8 years and never.

ThisIsNotAIBUPeople · 01/08/2019 22:17

Never. Cross words occasionally, shouting never. Been together 26 years and married 21 years.

furrytoebean · 01/08/2019 22:18

Same here dot

We raise our voices a lot. But we are both loud animated people. I’ve never felt scared, we’re just loud.

Bloodybridget · 01/08/2019 22:18

Never shouting. We have probably both raised our voices a couple of times. Together 19 years. We almost never have rows.

User55234 · 01/08/2019 22:18

Never

Yestermo · 01/08/2019 22:19

I am the shouty one. About every other month I shout. He almost never does but is a button pusher. 20 years together.

DappledThings · 01/08/2019 22:21

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

Same

mildshock · 01/08/2019 22:28

We've had raised arguments but we've never actually shouted at each other. We never throw insults either.

Been together 9 years.

Daffodil2018 · 01/08/2019 22:30

Never. Not properly. He might raise his voice when he gets a bit animated but he's never shouted "at" me.

Fairylea · 01/08/2019 22:31

A fair few times - only when it’s just us alone and never around the kids. We’ve been together 10 years and have a proper shout at each other every few months I think. But I can only really remember one REALLY bad shouty episode, the rest are just because we’re firey and it’s quickly forgotten!

usersouthcoast · 01/08/2019 22:32

I genuinely don't think he ever has. I've actually never seen him raise his voice at anyone

Janiiiiiiice · 01/08/2019 22:32

Never once. Been together 7 years, married 4. He has never shouted at me and I don't think I could tolerate it if he did.

I can count on one hand the number of times he's even snapped / sounded exasperated to be honest.

hereforasillygoosetime · 01/08/2019 22:49

Maybe once or twice in 5 years...just raising voice in a disagreement though he's never shouted. My ex on the other hand...

challengeyourreality · 01/08/2019 22:53

He'd have to be very, very far pushed to do so. I'd say maybe 2 or 3 times in 10 years and it was really scary because I didn't expect it. Why do you ask OP?
