[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am going to post a real answer, because no way all these married couples have not yelled at each other.  We have been married 26 years, have two kids, and yes we have yelled at each other -- never name calling, never anything cruel or that can't be unsaid, but we have definitely raised our voices and expressed anger or frustration.

I am GenX and find it surprising that so many people are so upset by yelling. [/quote]

This is exactly me too.  Together 25 years, Gen X.  We have a really, really loving relationship with great communication. Have always been best friends. Really no conflict. But once a year, maayyybee twice a year, something dumb will come up and the conditions will be just right (or wrong) that we have a 3-4 minute blow up. Never name calling, never anything personal, but we'll definitely have a fight with a few sentences very loudly spoken.  Given how many people on this thread claim they 'never yell', I'm guessing they might describe these events are "raising voices", rather than yelling -- because honestly these fights are mundane enough that i can't imagine other marriages don't have events like this pop up every now and then.

(i will also add that, for the people who said they find mere raised voices stressful - i know people like you, and this may be my absolute least compatible type of person in life -- whether as friend, colleague, classmate or partner. I really dislike how much tiptoeing you have to do, because these folks tend to see even emotionless conversations as aggressive and tear-enducing, which is so much drama for me)  [/quote]

Yeah i am not going to be manipulated by people who yell to get what they want, sorry I frustrate your plans. Because that is what yelling is all about, getting someone to do what you want.[/quote]
