Do you throw stuff during arguments?

[SnugglyJumpersMakeItBetter]

If not routinely, have you ever, even once? Watching The Crown the Queen is caught on camera lobbing stuff in anger at Prince Phillip, and when she apologises to the cameramen she excuses it by saying she's sure it happens in every marriage! Does it? I never have but then I've never had a humdinger row anyway. If you throw stuff do you take a split-second to rationally decide what to chuck 'The washing-up sponge is ok, but not the saucepan' or do you just hurl whatever is to hand without even thinking about it? Do you regret it after?

No. I might have done as a teenager when I was fighting with my sister, but not at DH or the kids.

Not now I'm mature. It's far too aggressive and out of control.

No cos I buy the stuff thats in my house and i don’t want to break it

No and if my partner threw anything at me I would be seriously reconsidering the relationship

No I hate throwers, I think it also instantly shows you who the twat is in the relationship.

I wouldn't trust them with any innaimate object, be it a knife, a gun, a car, the nuclear button, you get the ghist.

Total wankers.

gist 😅

Nope and if it ever happened it would be a deal breaker with immediate effect. Losing control to that extent during an argument is intimidation. I understand sometimes people are pushed to breaking point and there’s levels of throwing but someone doing it in my presence is a red flag thanks to a violent bully of a father who threw things to scare people into compliance.

I have absolutely thrown things in temper in my time but always in an empty room / house. No one has ever witnessed me lose control to that extent and I’d be mortified if they did.

No. And it would be a dealbreaker for me.

Never. I don't have much of a temper and don't get into rows with people.

Never. I have also never raised my voice in an argument. I hate aggression in my home and refuse to have it as an adult with my own place. I’d also fully expect my DP to leave me if I ever did throw anything.

A neighbour threw a mirror at her partner, they limped along for a few more years but did split up. And my exH thought throwing his dinner at the wall near my head was acceptable. I left him.

The Crown is fictitious.

Nope.

Never. Dh and I don’t really row anyway; we either give each other space to think and then have a proper chat or one of us will
go for a walk - how terribly grown up of us!
Obviously in 23 years we have had cross words and raised voices but no shouting etc for about 15 years now, neither of us can be arsed with the drama 😂
If either of us was a thrower I’d think the relationship was done and that the thrower needed some help.

Once, when I caught exH cheating. I threw everything on the coffee table at him. I have never lost it like that before or since. I did kick him out there and then too.

Not at people I did throw the remote at the door in Temper once
not my finest moment

I must admit I do sometimes. But only if I am completely on my own and it is a possession of mine and then if it was something that was going to break I would probably think twice. But I do feel some sense of relief afterwards. So does that make me a twat like someone said?

Yes. I'm not proud of it but I have thrown things before. There is a split second where you choose what to throw. I have mainly thrown tea towels as most of those arguments have happened in the kitchen.

My parents lobbed heavy objects at each other and my sister was knocked out by a 70's ashtray at one point, so no - I would never ever.

Never actually thrown anything apart from the brush from the dustpan and deliberately missed him.

Not proud to say that in my early adult life I had the satisfaction of clearing a mantle piece! Just swept it all off. It wasn’t aimed to hurt, just to clear it! It was rather dramatic but nothing precious was broken and underlined my point exactly!

Terrible behaviour and have never done anything remotely like it since.

No and I find it hard to imagine The Queen throwing something. Wouldn't she have had some kind of servant to to throw things for her?

Once when I was in my late teens. I threw a plastic jug at the floor and broke it. That basically made me think how negative my situation was and I have never done anything since. I'm in my 50's.

I have. I had one extremely verbally abusive boyfriend. He said one particularly awful thing one day to me when I'd just woken up. Without even consciously thinking about it, I lobbed a large tub of evening primrose oil capsules at him. They went everywhere.

We broke up shortly afterwards.

Never. When my boys were little I had a really bad temper but I've dealt with my issues now and divorced him. Life has been much better.

No never. But i've heard of couples that get so angry they smash the TV, smash all the dishes in the houses, basically anything smashable is smashed.

I have done when I was younger but I don't anymore - I think we are able to manage emotions better when we get older and I wouldn't want to damage my things over something that will be forgotten the next day!

No, and if anyone I was arguing with started throwing things then I think that would probably be the end of my relationship with them.
