[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The day I quit arguing with my husband was the day serenity and togetherness made our marriage stronger.

So when he's wrong or pisses you off you just sit there?[/quote]

I try to interpret it in a different way.  For example, he gets angry when he gets home from work and the house is messy or dinner isn’t made (I work overnights, so I’m home during the day).  He doesn’t yell, but I can tell that he’s pissed.  
Instead of saying something about how he shouldn’t be angry with me, that I work too, I just focus on the fact that he KNOWS that he shouldn’t be mad.  He is trying to hide it and let it go.

So, I appreciate his effort.  He gets some time to get over it.  I don’t have to be an anxious people pleaser.  He doesn’t have to be an angry jerk.  And instead of spending the evening arguing about whether HE started the fight by acting annoyed or I started the fight by saying something about it, we just order dinner,drink some iced tea, and do the crossword on the porch.

Whatever you think about this, I can tell you which one is more pleasant for the kids.  [/quote]
