I NEVER argue with my SO! I am super laid back and have super low stress. I run, workout and play music to release my stress. I also listen and my SO knows how to communicate what she wants and feels long before it becomes an issue. Plus we know how is in charge in the relationship so the retribution for disrespect is pretty steep...
I know that when I am starting to feel stressed I can do something to help me relax before confronting what is stressing me. Sometimes when you walk away and exercise when you come back the problem has resolved itself or lost its significance.

Well... No one is 'in charge' in mine and Chris's relationship, since we have been together we have had 2 really big arguments... Mostly due to frustration at this whole process and money issues etc...
We agreed after the last time that we weren't going to scream and shout at eachother as it gets us absolutely nowhere. We are both quite fiery though, so I am pretty sure it's going to happen again at some point. It's ok to say 'talk' about something, but actually trying to do that when the other person has pissed you off tremendously, isn't actually that easy!
I chose the once a month option, but that isn't entirely accurate really...
