[quote=Anonymous]I think that certain people can bring out the absolute worst qualities in each other - to the point of being emotionally draining (even abusive at times) to each other.  Put those same people with more compatible mates and one or both of them might change drastically.

I used to argue to the point of yelling at one of my former boyfriends - he just did things that would get my blood boiling at times, I got so pissed that I felt that there was steam literally shooting out of my ears.  But these arguments would be followed by some incredibly good times together and it took me a while to realize just how dysfunctional that relationship really was - maybe not quite abusive but certainly not healthy.  I finally ended it.

I have now been with my wonderful dh for over 20 years and I have never even once yelled at him like that (I can't even imagine me doing that!) .  We disagree sometimes but we're always respectful of each other and we make it a point to never go to bed mad.  I think that we bring out the best in each other - and what a difference.
