[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sample size is 3 (my marriage, my parents and my in-laws). None of us swear at each other or raise voices. All of us get annoyed at our spouses and have arguments. Never involves a temper, yelling, names, meanness. Never. [/quote]

I’m going to chime in that I know families like this. In my limited experience, many of those same families that ‘never raise voices at each other, ever!!’ do other even more messed up things to each other. The DH has a long term AP, the DW has secretly re mortgaged the house for her gambling addiction, the grandfather abused the grandkids.

Every family has its tales. I think being mad and feeling anger and expressing it is fairly normal behavior. [/quote]

Nope. Some families can disagree or argue without resorting to name calling, yelling, or swearing. I'm sorry you're not aware of that, but it's true. Not everyone is dysfunctional/abusive in some way. [/quote]

This.  My parents had arguments, but not long, drawn-out fights with name calling or swearing.  They would either come to an agreement or agree to disagree or whatever.  My DH and I are the same.  We've been married over twenty years and have had (what I would call fights) twice in our relationship.  Still never any name calling.  Everything else is an argument or discussion, but certainly never anything mean or sneaky or some of the other things I've read on here.  It makes me very grateful for him and our relationship![/quote]
Honestly, reading this forum often makes me grateful for my DH and our life. Perfect, no, but nowhere near as dysfunctional as some families on here! [/quote]
