[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  I'm very good friends with my neighbors. And when we fight in the morning, it gets loud.  Usually I either text them or they text me to see what's up and if all is good.  Not that there would be issues other than if I just need to vent.  I've walked in on their fights too.  It happens.  Embarrassing, but whatever.[/quote]

[b]WTF???[/b]

Christ I'm glad you've all found each other. Glad I'm not living near you- what a way to live- on either end of it! I've never heard yelling like this. One time when I was a little girl I overheard our older neighbours bickering and then the wife whispered "stop arguing with me, (my name) will know we don't love each other anymore"...  :( :(and took that gem home to my parents.

Well, that is very odd that they said that they didn't love each other.  We have never said that.  But, we do argue occassionally, and if you are in the hall, you hear everything.  Generally we are all very happy and are in happy relationships, but sometimes we argue.  [b]I would much rather do that than hold it in and be passive aggressive[/b].  [/quote]

Or you could use option C: discuss things in a respectful speaking voice without yelling. Just another option.[/quote]

That is a good option, but at the same time, it is not at all unusual for people to find that their voices change when they are involved in an emotional conversation. Our voices tend to reflect our emotions, more so when we feel strongly about something. Anger, sadness, disappointment, even annoyance or irritation are all emotions that can show up in a change in our voices. I'd be surprised to meet a person who can keep an even speaking voice when in an emotional discussion. It is possible to show emotion and still be respectful, but difficult to talk about strongly felt emotions in an even or monotone voice. Allowing depth of feeling to show does not equate with lack of respect.
