Also, I'm the wife and I've definitely blown my lid a few times. We have been married 20 years. |

My wife yells at me often and has little self-awareness when she takes an ugly/nasty tone with me or puts me down in front of our children. Then if I raise my voice in response, she screams don't yell at me! and gets extremely angry as I am the only one who is out of line.
You can't have it both ways. |
No? But he raises his voice and shouts when we are in a bad fight. But if at any point I de-escalate or just walk away he would not continue shouting. |
| My husband has occasionally told me I am shouting, when I really haven't shouted at all. He just doesn't like the words he is hearing at that point. |
| Never. Married 13 years with 2 kids. |
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Maybe you and my wife should be BFFs |
| Not one time in 15 years. |
| We are loud talkers, especially if upset but angry yelling is like once a decade |
| No, he never yells at me or the kids. I had a father that yelled sometimes in frustration. It would made me cry until I was in middle school but was upsetting nonetheless. I always thought I wouldn't tolerate that in my house when I had my own family. |
Men aren't used to women arguing with them at normal volumes. |
| No |
PP again. To clarify, I wouldn't cry when I got older, but it still upset me. The one positive thing about having a father that yelled is that you push back if any other man tries to do that to you when you are an adult. |
Next he will hit you and are you going to ask if hitting is common. Verbal abuse is s only a baby step from physical abuse. I suggest that you tell him he needs anger management counseling and that you will no longer tolerate his yelling at you or children or dog! |
| No he doesn't but he is abusive in his own right by giving the silent treatment after disagreements. |
| No he does not and I would not tolerate it. |
