    This is not a thread for the couples who hardly ever fight.  

    I am curious as to how many couples have the occasional knock down drag out fight and of course the next day or hours later its back to normal.

    M and I dont fight often, but when we do...WE DO!  Im not a fan of it but we are both so strong headed about things it turns into him getting loud and i know fighting/arguing is healthy but sometimes i wonder.....

    Can anyone relate??  If not..well, i guess its just us.  Crap.  :)

    We have definitely had our fair share of yelling matches!

    We are also very strong headed but the funny thing is they often end by one person saying something stupid or funny (messing up a word when yelling) and the other person cracking up laughing and then we both laugh and everything is ok again!

    we don't fight a lot but when we do it's definitely knock down drag out.  both of us are stubborn and hate to admit that the other person might be right.

    not proud of it but yes. we are both very defensive and have short fuses so it makes for lots of nasty fights. and although i'm usually the meaner of the two, he almost always apologizes first.

    No.  I fought constantly with my boyfriend befor my fiance, and it was exhausing and I hated it.  It was always over miscommunications and got way out of hand quickly.  After that, I resolved to never again be with someone with such a short fuse.

    When my fiance and I fight, it's always over something silly and it's done and resolved in a matter of minutes.  I would never, ever yell or scream at or belittle him, and he is just as respectful of me.

    We don't really ever yell at each other. Usually when we fight, it's a little spat over something silly, and we both kind of sulk for a while until someone (usually him!) gives in and makes amends. It's not the most mature way to fight, lol, but so far it's worked for us.

    Yeah, like the other Bees, we rarely fight, but we don't fight small when we do. We've had one fight since engagement last May, but it was a sleep on the couch kind of thing.

    The exchange is that we don't bicker. If one of us annoys the other, someone usually snaps, apologizes, done. Or just lets it go. Just last night FI annoyed me very much, I stewed for a minute, then let it go.

    wow, as much as we all hate it, i am glad to see im not alone.  

    I guess i should have also asked how often does the couch get an overnight visit from either of you!?

    Ive slept on the couch once or twice just to prove a point...then again, im sure thats why we all do.

    I've surfed the couch or extra bed a couple of times in our 6 years. Even when we fight, I won't make him leave the bed because he has a really bad back.

    I have slept in the spare bedroom probably 5 times since we have been living together a little over a year. But in the last few months he has been letting me still sleep in the bed with him even when we fight...we just sleep though-no talking-no cuddling, just pure sleep. I told him that when we are married he cannot just lock the door behind him and push me out like that and that I will give him his space by not talking to him but we need to stay in the same bed. At least this is my theory...so its been ok lately.

    We have yelling matches but we never sleep in a different bed/couch - the other person will sulk and apologize so that the mad one will come to bed! LOL

    I've been the one to sleep on the couch a few times just to show him how mad I am but each time I've crawled back into bed with him in the middle of the night and by morning all is forgiven and forgotten.

    I wish I could fight like you guys!! I know that sounds weird to say but I suck at talking about how I feel or whats bothering me. Instead I bottle it up and just on about my day. I wish I could just say what I need to say, have our little fight, then kiss and make up.

    I've been working on this but it's still a work in progress.

    um, i just want to say that this thread eases my mind, and i'm glad to see my FI and i aren't the only ones...

    even though i WILL say that last week wasn't just a "fight," and i hope we never get to that point again.

    about leaving the bed and going to sleep on the couch...that really bothers me, partly because i just cannot sleep if he leaves the bed in anger (and i never do or would)...in all our fights, last week's debacle was the only time he actually slept on the couch, even though he has gotten upset enough that he's said: "I'm going to sleep on the couch!" and then ends up staying in the bed anyway...

    i don't mind arguing things out, but i hate big fights.

    yes!!!! we both have some serious boxing gloves.

    we like to say we "fight" very passionately..ha! and we are both extremely stubborn!! these fights don't happen too often, but when they do, look out! we do agree to leave out name-calling, disrespectful/cruel words, but we both like to get our point across and boy, do we!!

    I guess when we fight it's "go big or go home" you could say. We're so guilty. lol.

    yess we do fight and it gets bad at times but i feel that its good in a way so that when we are married we arent going to fight about the stuff we did. It prolly doesnt help the fact that we are both Taurus' lol
