To ask how often you and your DH/DP fall out

[downthekingsway]

Mine seems to be at least twice a week and then he sulks after so unless I sort it out it seems like we are always fallen out :(

A couple of times a year.. Silent treatment, saying hurtful things.. Hate it! But we make up after a few hours and it feels better somehow. We don't bicker as I hate it! A couple we know always bicker and it's wearing.. They just don't agree on anything.

I think the "there is something wrong with couples who never argue" is rubbish (for most people), it just means two people are well suited, compromise and probably both have calm personalities.
MrsT that's awful, it doesn't sound like a happy life

Hardly ever. We both have the occasional martyr-esque strop over something trivial but it blows over quickly and we're both happy to admit when we've been unreasonable.

The last big row I remember was last year over him double booking us for something and insisting we fit it in. I was livid because I'd arranged for us to have dinner with some friends we rarely see (which he knew about) but his arrangement was with relatives which he thought trumped friends. There wasn't any name-calling or anything, he got in a strop and said 'I never see my family', to which I pointed out that they never come and see us which made him really cross. He tried to talk over me, which I hate, so I shouted, then he shouted, then he walked out. Eventually he came back and we talked about it.

He used to be terrible for giving me the silent treatment which made me properly cross as I'm of the belief that if you have something to say then just say it. Luckily, he's got over that now.

A few times a year. We Never shout.
We deal with the disagreement and make up within an hour or two. We always kiss and apologise.
Our first and biggest row was because I wanted to polish my shoes when we were already running late to catch a flight

Mainly I explode in his general direction but that's because I'm a powder keg and he's oblivious We'll pootle along amiably, until one day I lose my shit over a week of shirts lying on the bedroom floor when the washbasket's in the same room, or something equally thrilling. Minor explosions probably once a week, but proper arguments I could probably count on one hand.

We've been together 12 years. We had to adjust a lot and I remember him being utterly shocked the first time I took him home. (In my house growing up 'stop being an arse' is daily parlance and 'you're a dirty bastard' was bandied about often for minor housekeeping infringements.)

His family were much more avoid and minor sulking. Arguments would commonly result from one person telling another 'don't be stupid' (which oddly I find far more offensive than being told not to be an arse or that I'm a dirty bastard).

Suffice to say, 'don't be stupid' is banned in this house, as is any one person calling the other a bastard. I was a bit shocked the first time he told me to stop being an arse though but it was fair, I was being an arse

We have silly arguments a lot, but its more bickering than falling out.

The occasional big row, but always make sure it's sorted before bed. Been together 9 years.
