For ladies that dont live with FH...

How do you deal with arguments? Knowing that you are not together all the time...how do you get through a fight with him. Especially a really heated one where neither of you can talk because you are so angry...

Re: For ladies that dont live with FH...

Before I lived with FH (the first 4 years of our relationship), we used to just call a time out for the night and talk about it the next day.

Honestly, I think thats a real benefit of not living together because you can kind of sleep it off. Once you live together its very hard to take some space and take a deep breath.

I'm sorry you're stressed Hugs!

agreed... that was the first real adjustment for us when we moved in... theres no escape from one another... there was a few times i slept in another room just bc it was that heated....

but when we werent living together, i was able to 'hide', usually meant shutting off any phone access and not dealing with it for the night .... im the type who has to walk away and sleep on it bc the more im forced to talk, the worse it gets if im not thinking with a clear head

My FH has a really bad temper or so Ive been told. I hardly see it. He has told me that he used to be really bad with his temper but with me he has calmed down a lot. We hardly argue, but when we do its usually something stupid that makes us blow up right away. My FH says things the wrong way, he doesnt think before he speaks so everytime he says something during an argument I now have to repeat to him what he said, analyze it and ask him over and over what he really meant. I have learned this technique over the 4 yrs we have been together.
Im the type that has to deal with it right away. He used to either walk away from me or hang up the phone on me cuz he didnt want to blow up. But I have to deal with it right away and ask tons of questions. SInce we dont live together yet, I hate going to bed angry. We have learned over time to give each other the space we need when upset and not go to bed upset. I made him promise me to not walk away from me, hang up on me or anything like that during an argument. I HATE THAT, CANT STAND THAT!!!!! SInce he has stopped doing that for quite some time now, and I now know how to deal with him, it isnt bad at all.
Now when we finally do live with each other, I know that will be a whole other story.

Im very similar to you. I need to deal with it NOW!!! He doesnt like to talk when hes mad. He ignores the situation which makes me angrier!!

Re: For ladies that dont live with FH...

I sometimes wish we lived together already because a lot of people say thats when u really get to know each other. I worry about that sometimes because I wonder if he'll change or I'll change. We bought a house last year but we both decided to wait till the wedding. But there are times when I just want to pack my bags and move in. Some tell us that we are doing the right thng by waiting others say we have no idea what we are getting into. Either way, theres only 4 more months to go.

Aww! dont stress!! I think even couples who live together now had the 'should we or shouldnt we' talk. My experience was that there were two kinds of issues when we moved in together.

The first I called the roommate fights (ie. you said you would take the garbage out, why are your socks on the floor, turn the tv off im trying to sleep)
and the second was getting used to not being so private or perfect around eachother all the time (like the first time I got a fever living here, ugh yuck).

But no one tells you about the fun stuff, like the first time you cook dinner together or the first time you invite people over 'our house'.

Its kinda hard now that we don't live together,but because I hate negativity I will be the one to hang up the phone first. The problem is that even when he's annoyed he still wants to talk to me! I'm scared about arguing while living together because we promised not to go to sleep upset,but I won't even want him in my presence if we're mad at one another!

Yeah...Im the same. I dont want to see him when im mad let alone talk to him. I go through it all...All these emotions but when we do live together I know we will have to geth through the fights together. Im not scared..I just hope we will get through it.
