I know you are all going to say YA RIGHT but when we fight we talk and then 2 seconds later its over and we laugh about it.

I'm a 'lay it all on the table' kind of gal JT gets very overwhelmed when we 'fight' because I'm not one to hold back I'm not proud of it, but it's just how I am. He's totally quiet and just listens and hardly comments. It's annoying.

We are the COMPLETE opposite .. DH likes to give me the silent treatment and gets really quiet .. I NEED to talk (and sometimes yell) it out to clear the air and resolve the problem
He knows the silent treatment really bugs me, so I think he purposely does it even more

OMG FH is the same way!!! I'm a talker and It gets me even more mad when he doesn't say a word. I always tell him that it makes the fight worse when he doesn't fight back lol

I snap at him and that starts it all. He comes back at me and I clam up. We need to work on our fighting skills.

Re: How do you fight??
well, i must clarify a bit...dh doesn't always talk. well, he can shout or he can be calm. but he will argue a point until i can't see straight!

Re: How do you fight??
I tend to give the silent treatment. I know it's wrong, but it's a difficult habit to break when you've been brought up with it.
Sometimes my mother still gives the silent treatment when I disagree with her or stand up for myself.
