I am not sure if there's any topic/ related ones on this. If there's any similarities to the others, its purely coincidence. I always wonder, how do other couples fight? HAHAHA! I mean what happens when they do fight?Do they get physical and hit each other like cats and dogs? Or do they give each other silent treatment? Or may be one of them throw things at the other? And what usually happens after that? who usually apologize first? And usually how does the person apologize? Come share some stories.This might get interesting!

Not really fight per se - more like an argument. And we argue - who doesn't? Nothing physical though. And no yelling either. When he gets mad at me - it's mostly because I got mad first and gave him the silent treatment. And when he gets mad - he either walks away to cool himself off and to avoid saying things he doesn't mean but might say in the heat of the moment or keeps on explaining why he's mad - and he would go on and on and on and on - that boy can TALK for dayssssss! One thing is for sure though - my man has a hard time apologizing. I usually initiates and tell him "I'm waiting for your apology." God knows I'll wait forever if he didn't apologize. Fortunately - we haven't had a SERIOUS argument (he cheated, I cheated, etc - something heavy like that) that would warrant me to consider walking away if he didn't apologize. I already know him - I know he's sorry - he just has a hard time saying the words. And he knows me by now that when he does something that hurts me a lot - it would make me cry. In that case - no argument comes out of that - just a lot of apology. Of course there's explanation and all that later on after the waterworks. =P

Hey, what you wrote is kinda similar to what usually happens when me and my husband argues:D. Sometimes he will say sorry, but most of the time, it seem hard for him to apologize. Usually when I get mad, he will get quiet, and let me finish all my rantings before he starts talking.AHAHA.

My man always tell me like we act like an "old married couple." Not that you're old or anything - I guess my point is that we're not even married yet, and we already act this way. Not just in arguments - but also friday nights and just weekends. We only go out when the sun is out. We're usually in bed before 8. I wouldn't pass up a good friday night poker, but those are few and far between - especially now that one of the poker club members just got a new baby. So he's busy with that.

we argue, normally because of something or someone else winding us up first. For example, my mum will say something that my hubby takes the wrong way and when i say "I think you're seeing it as it wasn't intended" and jeez it goes from there!!

From what I see, most of your arguments should be starting for misunderstandings? May be your husband should learn to close one eye to such remarks that might hurt his feelings. Just shrug it off may be?

if those things happen during during an argument...it should be considered abuse and so you should run. usually the abuxer will be first to appologize or else give he ssilent treatment which is just another form of abuse.

I always just give my woman the silent treatment. But once she was on the phone all night and I was trying my best to sleep so I grabbed the phone from her and just turned it off. I was a bit forceful so I did hurt her a little bit. She was mad at me for days afterwards and it really made me wish I hadn't done that. At the time though I just couldn't taken it anymore! We don't fight too often. I have heard of some couples actually fighting like crazy! My aunt has been in a few fights with her man and even got the police involved sometimes!

If I am her, I think I would be angry too. But then, its kinda her fault too, she should take her phone conversation elsewhere, so that won't disturb other people's sleep,right?Your aunt and her man must have got physical in their fights till involving police! I hope they are getting along better now.

We've been together 5 yrs and never had an argument,we have discussions where i'll tell him what i think and he'll do the same,but thats as far as it goes.I've never had a relationship with no arguments before,it's very strange

wow! 5 years together and you guys never had an argument? May be having discussions is the key? You discuss, but not yelling at each other, may be its like a debate?

Arguments in my marriage are handled rather strangely. I don't mind talking things out and having disagreements. Everybody has those. However, my husband will completely shut himself down before any kind of disagreement takes place. It is really hard to have discussions due to that. In my opinion, communication is key, but he doesn't like to admit that there's a problem. Just his way of avoiding any kind of conflict.

Yes, communication is an important key. I think by avoiding is not a good way to solving the problem. Its just dragging it longer. But then, may be he's trying to buy some more time?hoping that sooner or later, that problem will be forgotten.

The subject is little off-stream but interesting. How couples fight and argue with each other which sometimes takes serious dimensions. It is all about relationships and understanding each other. If both are caring and loving, then the fights like the one on long telephone call would never happen. We see in everyday life that several relations end just over misunderstanding and trivial matters when there is ego involved. Here middleman can be of little help if misunderstanding prevails over any matter. Be respectful and sincere and you are going to lead a happy life even in the mid of scarcity and problems.When there is no understanding even if everything in abundance is available, it is not going to be of much help.

i had experience that couples fight, usually this fight would happen when some things have done, that you couples have no understanding of that thing, when the ones of you wants to do that, but the other one wants not to do.sometimes your husband can hurt you for that, because for me male can do more than the female. but at the end, the husband should apologize for what he done to you.
