Do you ever bust out laughing when you're supposed to be mad at FI?

    I do this ALL THE TIME. FI makes me sooooo mad sometimes, & then I'll start giving him the silent treatment...sometimes he'll be on the other couch or sitting beside me & when it gets really quiet, I can't help but laugh!!! A lot of times I'll have to turn my face so FI doesn't know I'm laughing. Because when he DOES find out I'm laughing I get even MORE mad!!

    Haha, but it helps in the long run, it breaks the silence & gets us in better moods :) Sometimes I just wish I could stay mad!!!

    Yes. He makes me laugh at myself when I'm really mad by going quiet so that I keep talking and talking and talking until I realize how ridiculous I sound. I both love and hate him for that, haha!

    @lily: YES me too!!! It makes me laugh just thinking about it. It's like I DON'T want to laugh...but I can't help it!!! FI is smart for doing that, though. Being quiet & letting you know how ridiculous you sound! Haha, because most of the time we argue over small stuff, so I know I sound ridiculous LOTS of times!

    That happens to me all the time. Mostly because he makes ridiculous faces on purpose to make me laugh. It's his evil tactic to make me forgive him for whatever it is I'm mad about.

    It's always like right when I'm MOST pissed at him...I'll start yelling or something dramatic and then it just hits me how stupid I must look...and I laugh.

    We do silly faces at each other to make the other person laugh if we're upset at each other or over something. It works a treat to break the ice again, though I'm a lot better at making FH crack up and he doesn't always think that's fair ;)

    @Lees- I do this all the time, can't help it. It does help us realize whatever we are fighting about isn't worth it...usually!

    We don't really get MAD at eachother, but we do get frustrated... I can't help but laugh when that happens cause he's so careful as to not do anything to make me mad (I rarely get mad!) and it makes me so amused.

    Ohhh yes I laugh all the time. It's SO annoying because he doesn't understand that what he did really makes me mad. He thinks its a big joke. The only time he'll take me serious is if I cry!!

    Oh wow - I know exactly what you're talking about! My guy is notorious for turning fights into laugh fests - makes me buggy sometimes.

    (P.S. There's a county song by JoDee Messina about this - I Just Want To Be Mad For A While. Some days it feels like my theme song lol)

    this morning Mr BC burped really loudly, and then said, "BOOM!" (instead of "excuse me").  I was pissed at his complete lack of sensitivity about his rude rude rude burping (at least say excuse me!).

    when I tried to tell him "I'd wished he would have said excuse me, instead of BOOM" I couldn't help laughing! 

    who says "BOOM" when they burp?? ridiculous!

    we dont argue often but the one and only time my hubby has ever raised his voice at me (we were arguing about me wanting to go home and not spend the night and he was frustrated i wouldnt live with him) i burst out laughing because him yelling was seriously out of character for him and i think i said to him at the time "if thats you trying to be scary & loud it doesnt work" or along those lines

    It is also possible that during the times when you are the most mad and end up laughing it is just the need for a physical release of strong emotion. Laughing is actually really close to crying in terms of the drives it satisfies.

    And then sometimes situations just are funny. I probably would have laughed at the burper who said boom haha.

    Oh gosh...my FI can make me want to squeeze his neck until he gets dizzy. I don't want him to pass out...just see a few stars...LOL.

    He just talks and talks and talks and then in between talking he constantly asks me if I forgive him...and tries to make me laugh. Eventually, I just give in and start laughing. Once he gets me to laugh, we can then talk about why I am upset.

    haha I am the worst about that! Either that or I will be so mad at him that I get all worked up and mess up my words and sound like a moron when I am trying to be seriously angry with him and them we end up laughing at me. Plus if I am upset he is always like  "Shannon, dont smile, dont laugh" and will go on until my face is buried away from him because I get so mad at myself for giving in every time. But like you bees said, its definitely a good thing

    @bearcub - "boom" ?? hahahahahaha I couldnt have helped but laughed at that. My co-parent taught our daughter to say "ribbit" as she is burping and while she is a little kids its sooo funny yet sooo rude, I have to look away from her not to laugh before I can scold her for it

    I totally feel you!! If im upset in the truck and ignoring him he will ALWAYS say "Alright im pulling this over! and start swerving" just to make me laugh and hit him lol.

    I love the part when you say when he see's you laugh it makes you more mad.. Haha!
