To ask if you and your partner are like George & Amal Clooney

[JuneSoon]

And have never, ever had an argument in your entire relationship?

Cos that doesn't apply to me and DH 😁

We don’t have many. Maybe one or two a year? Not sure it signifies much either way beyond whether you are arguey-type people.

I mean, if I was a jobbing actor, I don’t think I’d want to get into any arguments with an international Human Rights lawyer, either.

I imagine there’s a fair bit of ‘Yes, dear’ going on.

We don’t argue but I think it’s because we have nothing to argue about.

We have the same approach to the important things like money, pretty well matched in attitude, with nobody being a high spender/wasting money while the other wants to save or be sensible.

We don’t have kids so no cause for argument about who does more there.

We both work full time.

It’s pretty easy not to argue under those circumstances.

We don’t argue very often! Both so busy and knackered last thing we need is more stress!

Nope, fight like cat and dog.

But we are both drop dead gorgeous, so we're like them in that way.

My DH have a few arguments each year, for some reason booking holidays seems to be out trigger.

Is there a new article put about them or something? If I was Amal I would have had to say something about George's new hair dye he was sporting recently.

We have never had an argument, seven years married and ten together. However, I was with someone for five years before my husband and we argued all the time so not sure whether it was me or him!

We've never argued or raised our voices

When we have a difference of opinion, we speak openly about our views and listen respectfully, then discuss to come up with a plan

To be fair, we've never had major issues arise that could cause major conflict

Together 25 years

We have had never a big blow out argument but a lot of bickering, 20 years married this year so I guess we get on each others nerves from time to time. Main stuff is around our 3 teenage dds who try our patience constantly so we have shorter fuses for each other

I don’t think we’ve ever actually argued. I grumble at him every now and then, but seeing as I’m right there’s no argument to be had.

We don’t have multiple luxury staffed properties around the globe, much easier to not argue under those circumstances.

No we don’t ever argue, which was a huge mistake.

You need to argue and the best marriages I know, the woman takes no crap whatsoever.

I’m not that type of person so the whole thing is not for me. Marriage is a battlefield and you have to stand your ground , at least sometimes)

Dh and I very rarely argue. Just our personalities.

But we are both drop dead gorgeous, so we're like them in that way

😁

Amal's evening dresses are always absolutely beautiful.

Surely they must have had a barney when GC announced he wanted to uproot the twins from their French school so he could be a thespian on Broadway?

We’ve never argued (5.5 years) and to be honest I rarely argued with my ex in 27 years, literally a handful of times and even our breakup wasn’t arguemententive

I am always suspicious of people who claim they "never argue"- not even once in 25 years or whatever. It indicates to me that one person is simply not expressing their true feelings.

It's not about frequency of arguing anyway, it's about how you argue. Conflict resolution is a completely normal and functional part of life and if you can do it healthily, it can actually make a relationship stronger. I dont think never having an argument is necessarily a sign of a healthy relationship (not talking about screaming rows obv, I mean a simply disagreement about something that you both resolve together).

I sense something about them - is she a beard?

Rarely argue. Only time we have is over his family or when he hasn’t had my back.
2/3 times in 17 years.

we playful bicker it out a bit, there’s no malice in it and there’s unwritten rules I guess

Is there a new article put about them or something?

Yes, George gave an interview recently saying they're still looking for something to fight about.

Agree with pp who said they'd be having a word about George's hair dye job. George could counter with jibes about Amal's excessive use of hair extensions. There you go, George - we've picked a fight for you!

We don't argue or shout but do tend to bicker, which isn't great.

I don't think you need to argue ie conflict, raised voices, swearing

But agree it's unhealthy if you don't feel able to voice differences of opinion, in a respectful manner

4 years and no arguments. We occasionally bicker or get short briefly (usuallly at airports or trying to pit a tent up!), but we always apologise and resolve almost immediately, certainly within 15mins.

We’ve both been married and divorced, we have similar outlook on stuff and manage to talk things through. There is no seething resentment.

Snappy disagreements because one or both of us is grumpy? Probably once a month, and always swiftly smoothed over. An actual raised-voices fight with anger and/or tears? Not once in 12 years.

We're both conflict-averse, which is a good thing in a household, and can separate the thing we might disagree about from the emotions that might make us disagreeable. Almost every time we've snapped at each other, the reason is external (too tired, too stressed by work etc) rather than each other. And in every argument there's always a button you can press that will send it nuclear, and it's a choice not to do that every time.

I think it depends what the couple defines argue as.

Disagreeing with something and saying you do? If so, then yes we have - though it's calm conversation just disagreeable.

Or does it need to include raised voices and lots of disagreable sounds such as tutting? If so, for me and my husband then rarely (not never,q we're been together decades and during that time there's be moments when we're both cantankerous at the same time.)
