Me and DP had a corker last night - he thumped the wall and strode off to bed early in a huff. The works. Because...... wait for it.....

We were watching that Red Riding thing on TV and I was trying to explain the plot. And he wasn't understanding and I was getting very impatient telling him the same thing over and over. It got REALLY HEATED.

Honestly, I nearly felt like divorcing him except we've never actually got married.

We kissed and made up this morning though.

Our worst arguement ever was about picture albums. I have supressed forgotten what was so important about them that I almost walked out of his life forever. My only defence is that we had just moved in together for the first time and were knocking the rough edges off each other, so to speak.

MuppetsMuggle · 07/03/2009 19:30

often row about tidying up again and again after DP.

Also this morning in B&Q car park, I've got a bad back, we were returning an item (quite heavy) he opened the boot stood around waiting for me to get the item and the box out of the car, which i did otherwise would of been stood around all day, i then started to walk waiting for him to take the said item off me, only half way down did i stop he then said oh i'll take it grrr, bearing in mind i can barely walk as it is!

Years and years ago when we forst moved in together I tipped a bowl of cereal on bis head .

This was because I said he was selfish after he made us both breakfast and gave himself loads and I got a piddly few . .

We had an argument just after Xmas about where to go in resident evil .

I had a ridiculous row with an ex BF about the Queen and whether she was right not to respond quickly and publicly after the death of Diana This was the first and last major row we had!!

Jbck · 07/03/2009 19:50

He bought long life custard instead of Tesco's finest for my trifle on Christmas Eve despite me drawing a map showing where the chiller cabinets were. Almost divorced!

How many times they say Uh huh uh huh in the song Pretty fly for a white guy, 2nd almost divorce.

We've mellowed over the years

Whether he put red kidney beans or cannellini beans into his signature pasta bake the first time he made it.

It's been 13 years

DaddyJ - yes!

Wiping surfaces. She never does it properly. I have tried to train her to get low down and look sideways along the surface to see any remaining smears - but no!

I can see the smears and she cannot and then it call kicks off.

jenk1 · 07/03/2009 20:31

oh god yes herbietea i ALWAYS get that,
"hormonal are we"???????

most of our rows are over

Housework
Driving
DC,s.

actually we,ve just had a row and arent speaking cos i said im sick of being the troll and sorting out the kids arguments while he just sits there and lets me do it, i think my words were

"Step up and take responsibility,there are 2 parents here not 1 and 3 KIDS"

and now hes not talking to me!!!

kids are calm and happy though!!

yummybunnymummy · 07/03/2009 20:39

we argued about .......

....wait for it....

dual wave/particle theory. He was trying to explain it and and I can't go on as I feel all huffy...the whole theory to me is very like men and women....sooooooooooooooooo similar but soooooooooo far apart!!!!!!!!!

and often if dh walks past an empty but dirty cup....grrrr!!!!!!!!!!

lizziemun · 07/03/2009 21:17

I solved the not washing up after dinner arguement by not cooking his dinner the next day. He wash up I no cook .

I would say never let 2 dyslexic people put flat packed furniture together.

DaddyJ · 07/03/2009 21:19

At least you are at the wiping surfaces properly stage, ABD!

DrTrillianAstra · 07/03/2009 21:56

ABetaDad - is this because you are 4 feet tall and can see the smears without crouching down?

HecatesTwopenceworth · 07/03/2009 21:57

What we would spend our lottery win on, and whether or not we'd tell our relatives. We got quite cross indeed.

We haven't won the lottery and don't expect to.

beanieb · 07/03/2009 21:58

Me and my OH are having a row about what we have rowed about in the past. Now that's stupid!

hatwoman · 07/03/2009 22:04

pmsl at the twix. balloonslayer - you are definitely right.

one of our biggest was about maps/directions(not even in the car).

I had said that from x to y was west. it wasn;t. I was wrong and I fully admitted I was wrong. however I wanted to explain the reason for my error - which was that I'd thought a particular road ran north-south. and if that road was n-s then x to y would be west (if you get me). and he was so mean. shouting me down and laughing his head off - "so you;re arguing that you were kind of right because the only reason you were wrong was because you thought something else was wrong". it didn;t matter how many times I said I knew I was wrong, and taht i was just explaining. he would never concede that if blah blah then blah blah. mean horrid man. still smarts.

Othersideofthechannel · 07/03/2009 22:05

We only argue about important things.

Everything else we end up laughing about.

Of course, when it is trivial to one and important to the other, that causes arguments....

Othersideofthechannel · 07/03/2009 22:05

I think you are right balloonslayer

noonki · 07/03/2009 22:18

DaddyJ -I'm with you (or against ?) on the washing up. To stop the arguements for the last 5 years I just re-do half of the saucepans, without him seeing!

if some man made me crouch down to eye level, so I could "see the smears" on a worktop, he would be out the door so fast his feet wouldn't touch the ground

ABetaDad, I hope you are joking

We've had stratospheric rows about so many tiny things it's hard to even remember what most of them were about, all I can remember is how close one or other of us was to packing up and shipping out.

There was one time I was totally smashed drunk and decided we couldn't possibly have children until we could afford private medical insurance for them ... I think I got pregnant about 3 months later, whoops!

ABetaDad · 07/03/2009 22:54

AnyFucker - I know you know that I was not joking

AnyFucker · 07/03/2009 22:57

yes, I was afraid of that ABetaDad
