[quote=Anonymous]My parents are like this and they're in their late 60s. They choose to take everything the other says as a slight and never give each other the beneit of the doubt, like ever. Every comment is taken personally and escalated. I find myself constantly redirecting and diffusing, which works well in the immediate but it is exhausting. My dad just retired (mom retired a few months before and had just gotten into her routine), so I'm hoping it will get better as they find their new normal. I'm not optimistic though. There really seems to be a lot of contempt even though they are also very loyal. I hope my marriage never becomes like that.[/quote]
