I guess it all depends on what you consider an arguement. We bi*ch at each other at least once a day.
dalegg
We argued as to which one we should select. That should tell you which one I selected.

No, we don't argue most of the time. Rarely. Honnestly. I'm unsure on whether we will or won't argue once he is here? rolleyes.gif

A gem; "We can scream at each other, we can argue together, but... why don't we shut up together?" headbonk.gif energetic.gif

We have a serious argument about once a month, even though there's some bickering going on more frequently.

I think arguing is an important part of any healthy relationship, but the important thing is to not take it too personally when it happens and to try to move beyond it once it's over. Once you start getting hung up on your arguments, it's time for marriage councelling.
Sinergy
probably more than once a week, but its over the stupidest crap laughing.gif

I voted once a week although they aren't screaming rows....rather heated discussions. I have learned that a good 'airing' of views is healthy....In my first marriage we NEVER EVER had an agruement....therefore he never knew how unhappy I was until the day I walked out of his life.....I am older and wiser now and say if something is bothering me, he does the same.

Who are the weirdos who never argue? Identify yourselves so I may mock you.

Oh and I forgot to say.. once a day. Maybe skip a day sometimes but mostly once a day. Almost always minor stuff, quickly forgotten. Interesting thing is, she always gets around to saying sorry way before it even occurs to me that maybe I should.

We don't argue that often. We get annoyed with each other sometimes and don't say anything, that's only about once a month. We only have one big argument a year so that's what I chose. We have had an all out screaming match, but those are rare. We usually say what we mean, and sometimes what we don't mean. But we try not to "let the sun set on our anger." LOL@my cheesy quote.
radacos
Agent Smith, you may mock me. I voted "never argue" because, while we do voice our disagreements whenever it is necessary, we never raise our voices, throw things, or leave the room and slam the door. We debate, that's it, debate! biggrin.gif And we sometimes snap at each other, but apologise right away. Since we never argue, I guess we sort of miss out on the make-up sex, though... whistling.gif
Carola
We argue once at day for minor stuff and at least a big one at month... that is part of any relationship, very common... after a while everything is forgotten.
dollface41601

we used to ~fight~ ... but now we just argue/discuss about things. so i put once a month .. because that's usually how often something big comes up

venting when things come up is a great way to stay away from the big fights good.gif

So you two agree on everything? Yeah right.
ktun
We snap at each other most days, just really minor stuff like "Why are you in a bad mood?" "I'm NOT in a bad mood." haha, that kind of thing.

Big arguements are rare and if they occur mostly due to frustration and this damned immigration process.
almaty
i think that there will be disagreements and arguments in the happiest of marriages, especially when people are from 2 different cultures and experiences...
Babsi
I picked once a week...its kinda hard to nail down...we get along most of the time. I actually think that all the little stupid argument we have help a lot to get to know each other!
Satisfaction
I don't like a repetition of sterile arguments, which are useless to solve anything. There is no need to sweat the small stuff.

"Sleep on it" is a theory which work greats in practice for me. Having an argumentation is unavoidable at times, but I refrain from starting one.

In my family, we were taught to deal with our grievances and differences behind close doors, and that it was not good behavior to make a scene in public.
My father always taught me : "Think with your head, not with your emotions" (easy to say for him who had been a pilot in the Navy and is a very straight guy offtopic45vn.gif ). And also: "Anger is only a sign of weakness" (tongue_ss.gif ), "Never complain, never explain" was another one! (whistling.gif )

Yeah, its that way with Joel and me. We never argue (listens for the mocking) and I've heard that arguing is healthy. But what if you just both get along so well that you never disagree? I mean, isn't it possible to have a healthy loving relationship WITHOUT arguing? luv.gif

I guess that means I'm weird...right AS?
whatchatalkinboutwillis
We have a big one about once a month but it does not last long. We do bicker quite often but usually end up laughing about it.
The arguments are usually because he thinks he is always right which is clearly impossible when I am always right!! lol
irishgirl73
I picked once a week.................................I think a good arguement is healty. We bit*h at eachother at times, I wouldn't say it is arguing, maybe just letting out agression.


If we were together, we would be getting our agression out in much more pleasurable ways wink.gif that is the best part about little disagreements!

Our arguments aren't rare, atleast nowadays. So, I voted once a week. It is the immigration process that is the cause of most of it. Plus not seeing each other for 13 months has taken a huge toll on our relationship. When we're together though, we have the occasional argument over stupid things like a few of you said. That, I would say, is once or twice a month.

I totally agree-this process causes A LOT of stress, it is also hard to communicate thru text messages and even when speaking things can be taken the wrong way. If I had a dollar for everytime I have said "I didn't mean it like that" blush.gif

Can't wait til we are together-then we can argue over silly things like where to go for dinner or which movie to go & see. I think that we were born to wreck eachothers heads laughing.gif

Can't wait for the "making up", we have had some big arguements over the past year-the distance is a bit*h!!!! We have seen eahother for a few days at a time but I can't wait for us to really be together. Then we'll fight about how much we get on eachother's nerves laughing.gif

So many things get confused & don't even get me started on the time difference-he just sent me a text "goodnight luv"..........goodnight? I am getting ready to go to my second job.......it's crazy blink.gif
Crazy_Brit
We never argue if I am upset about anything he just gives me a hug and trys to make it better. I am so lucky
Crazy Brit
IAMSADIA
wow crazy brit ,a hug whenever your upset,,I could live with THAT hehe.
honestly it's probably twice a week here.
gets a little sarcastic at times,a little dumb at other times and pretty
earthshaking atleast once a month,,something like a trainwreck!
then usually when making up,,it's the I am sorry it's my fault..no no it's MY FAULT..

no no reaaaaaaaaally it's my fault! oh your so cute..no your SO cute.. I'm not cute u are..
hahahaha..

a few days after we saw brokeback mountain on the big screen,,we got into a fight and I
suddenly cried.. "I just ,,I just wish I could QUIT U! ofcource anyone that has seen that movie knows
that is a fight scene between the two of them brokeback guys,and as soon as I said that line
to him he bursted out laughing! we both had to laugh! then he did his little spin on it and added HEY thats not apropriate! haha one of the words I had to teach him was apropriate,he came form work one day asking what it meant so now he thinks this is this big incredible powerful word and we joke about THAT all the time to....
now when one of us is looking even down or tired or depressed one of us sais the I wish I could just quit u joke and it's gotten to be one of them things between us that seem stupid but makes us laugh.
I think anyone that don't fight,,is a pure miricle,,don't know how anyone can keep all that in
cause I know for me we have faced many cultural differences that we both never even
dreamed we would. fights are normal ..it's the out of control ones I dont like,I think though after 18 months time together we are learning it dont have to get THAT big in fights.

peace out..smile.gif

like once a week hahaha

we don't argue, we have discussions!!!
Karen_L
We don't really "argue." Our arguments usually consist of him making me angry lol. This happens about once a month. good.gif
MHandMB
We usually argue over something silly a few times a week, but it ends quickly. I can't think of a time where we've had a knock down drag out fight. Our stuff is usually petty stuff and we get over it quickly.

We've been arguing a LOT lately, a few times a week. But we're hoping to work all of that out and cut down our arguing time. We also think it'll be easier once he moves here, trying to work out fights on the phone is really difficult.
Mrs. Forgetful
We only have a bad arguemnet like once a month, but it's practically everyday we get on each other about something petty. It's fun because I love making up! biggrin.gif
iceyspots
arguments about 1 x per year smile.gif
Natashabrenda
The only time we argue is when we're NOT together.Our nerve get so shot and it hurts so much that one word can cause the next and next thing we know one of us hangs up the phone.
But we actually NEVER had a fight when we were together as in not being thousands of mles away from each other.

What's funny is that my Baby and I don't argue at all. Something happens that one of us doesn't like (which is really really rare) and it get's resolved right away. No argument from either of us.
belize
We've had a few arguments over the course of our relationship, all about the same topic: SMOKING ...we had one argument on a different topic, we were playing host to a bunch of people visiting us in belize and did not carve out time for one another, at which point we agreed that if either of us ever ask for 5 minutes, the other must drop whatever he/she is doing and provide that time--it helps a lot!

Never go to bed angry....

Our fights usually come toward the end of the day, when we are both frustrated and tired...i'd say we fight once a month or less, but such fighting never includes shouting or name-calling.
sparkofcreation
Me to G: How often do we argue?
G.: Once ...
Me: [waits]
Me: Once ...?
G: Ever, that I can recall.

Then we talked about it some more and came to the conclusion that it wasn't actually an argument. So, I guess never.
Arazia
It really does depend on the definition of argument. We have 'tiffs' mostly over stupid stuff that doesn't matter. I've always joked that we never really have arguments over anything important, it's over silly things like video games and such.

Even so, we usually only have one of those a month or so. But I won't go as far as saying we never argue.
Addie_Goodvibes
we rarely argue, The one disagreement that comes up a lot is her letting our daughter sleep in our bed.
I am against it, sad.gif ( being woke up at 2:00am from my daughter kicking me in the unmentionables is no fun mad.gif

We never yell & she has only punched me a few times tongue_ss.gif kidding!

if we do have a problem she is quiet and I do my best to find out what is bothering her, we have a rule never to go to sleep with unresolved problems.

mateo
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.

I think once all the stress of this journey is behind us, we'll have a hapier relationship.
