[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there really people in the world who have never said something mean during an argument? I ask in all seriousness -- this is an eye-opener for me if true. I assumed we'd all had our moments saying things we've later regretted.[/quote]

Yes there are.  My DH and I argue occasionally but we don't call eachother names and we stay respectul.  We stick to the subject at hand which is usually something minor like how to stack the dishwasher.  IMO there is a right way and a wrong way to argue.  Argument is meant to be about communication and even during an argument it's important that you communicate that you love eachother anyway.

I would dump a man who said any of the above things to me immediately.  I'd rather be alone.

I think John Gottman said that the death knell of a relationship is when a partner shows contempt for the other.  A lot of these comments display just that IMO.[/quote]

Totally agree. I have never fought with any partner with name calling and I demand the same from them. I don’t even call him an idiot. No names, ever. It’s not OK. [/quote]

DH and I have been together 15 years and NEVER name called in an argument or said cruel things. We have had some heated, angry disagreements but calling each other names is not in the play-book. How awful that some take it as a matter of course.[/quote]
