what extremes will you go through to avoid an argument with your spouse?

I just got off the phone with my husband and he said something to me that I thought was rude. He doesn't usually talk to me like that so I bit my tongue and decided to revisit the issue at a later time. He might have had a bad day and he got hurt at work yesterday so I figured that the real issue had nothing to do with me at all.

When you get angry with your spouse will you just have at it or will you normally disarm it? How?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

everyone gets angry every now and then, let him be upset and let out his frustration. You just stay cool, eventually if he rethinks about what he said, he probably will come to you later and apologize. If he doesnt apologize, just talk to him about it at a later time when you are not upset from his comment. If he gets mad for you bringing it up then maybe you should not be with him to begin with.

Thanks Mike !

"Still in Training" Hahaha = Im so glad you took my advice. You see I think from my experience getting upset never solves anything... Eventually he needs to come to that realization because this will push you away and then things will just get worse... I hope u show him this one day... Military or not, people should not act violatle to get there way or let there frustration out on someone else... Tell him to go in the back and scream his lungs out but no need for taking it out on you. =) I cant say I havent done this before but I have learned my lesson and I hope he will realize we are all = and nearly everyone especially his wife deserves to be treated with respect. =)

I hope u remember that advice for a long time... Thanks Mike !

Any Updates please post IM interested to hear what happen...=)

This is how I handled it yesterday. Letting him cool off took alittle time because in the end, the one he was upset with was himself. Now all I have to do is teach him not to blow. he is a new husband and still in training so he still has alot to learn.

Don`t forget that arguing with a spouse is a good way for both of you to understand each other`s feelings on a matter. If you constantly avoid argments, then you will both be bottling up negative feelings that are going to come out one way or another, usually in a manner that is much worse than an argument. The best thing to do is calmly discuss your feelings with him or her without being critical. In the long term, it is better to discuss and maybe have a small argument than to hold it inside and wait for the dam to burst, so to speak.

I don't want to cross the arguement to fight line. I have others in my home (children) Discussing it is a much better way to go. I never agreed with the point that arguing is healthy. My first marriage was abusive and that might be the reason for that.

It depends what mood I'm in and how angry he is.

If I feel that I can walk out of the room and leave him alone for a few hours without him following me and trying to carry on the argument, then I will do so - if not then I will leave the house and go see a friend until he calms down.

If I feel that what he's said can't be ignored and he shouldn't get away with it, then I'll stay and argue my point.

so you are saying that you will use restraint according to your mood? I feel like restraint should be used all the time. That the time will come to discuss it rationally. but i want restraint from his side also.

I would still use restraint if I felt it was necessary to stay and argue - I'm very good at arguing calmly! ;)
