When you have a fight with your significant other...do you shut up or blow up?

i blow up, i go madddd, completley throw my toys out the pram, he tries to apologise or give his side of the argument rationally, i still run riot around the house, i then repeat myself time and time again for a few hours until my bloods run dry, then i give the silent treatment, by which time he has got over it and is returning the silent treatment, which riles me, and then i get more angry, he still doesnt react, and then I CRUMBLE AND GO OVER TO HIM AND GIVE HIM A HUG,

If i am really really tired (either physically or just arguing about a certain topic), i say i dont want to talk about it and just walk away. If the argument means something to me, i will stand my ground though. Both have its pros and cons. If you walk away from a mess, it just gets more messier. If you keep arguing, you have to be careful not to let it get out of hand because things you said but didnt mean to say have no way to be taken back.

95% of the time, I just shut-up.

I dont believe one can have a any useful/objective argument in the moments of heat. Once things cool down, we talk about it and mostly this 2nd argument starts with her saying sorry for blowing it out of proportion...

She has a very lose temper but she is really brave ... it takes courage to say sorry. Not everyone (including myself) is that brave

you dont have to be married for experience, i was in a relationship for 6 yrs before things screwed up, so i kinda know what happens. But then again a lot of it comes with seeing other ppl as well.

first blow up and then shut up

I shut up.. I just can't argue when the other person is upset..after sometime (ranges from 15 mins to hours) I start the conversation, try to solve the potential conflict, and sometimes we just agree to disagree and life goes on :-D

Re: When you have a fight with your significant other...do you shut up or blow up?

stand my ground but never shout nor raise my voice.. we talk rationally.. its always the same tactic

first say u have something to talk bout

then THE whats bothering either of us

say how it makes us feel

say you probably didnt even realize so im not blaming you, but.... and go on fighting ure case

conclude with how u want things to be the next time

end with a smile and a perverted joke

we never take up the issue immediately, unless we are alone. and we never react immediately to something either just incase we are blowing things up.. we always think bout it before takin it to the spouse ... dont know how but we just got into the habit of doing this... sometimes we realize ahh it was nothing.. and then tell the spouse how something they did bothered me but then we thought bout it and blahb lahb blah... no fight necessary.

When I'm too tired to argue I just walk away.

Re: When you have a fight with your significant other...do you shut up or blow up?

depend on my mood.

Re: When you have a fight with your significant other...do you shut up or blow up?

I walk away...not because I believe in the greater good or anything.

I just never feel like fighting is worth my time. Is that bad?

i used to shutup.. didnt work
.. then i tried shouting for a while.. didnt work either... now i argue calmly and gets my point across... it is Working

When I see that I am losing the argument, I walk away with whatever is left of my dignity ..

:hmmm: come to think of it, I am walking away a lot lately. Either I am doing a lots of wrong stuff or wife is getting good in arguing
