[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand how you don't fight. I mean, not huge yelling matches, but normal fighting.

Do you see every single thing in your life the exact same way? Or do you just back down whenever there is conflict b/c you hate conflict?

My husband dislikes conflict. But the reason we rarely fight is what another poster mentioned.  We have been together over 20 years. A fight - as in me expressing displeasure with some aspect of our life together and him responding - accomplishes exactly nothing except hard feelings.  I've come to largely accept that I can't force him to give importance to certain things I think are important.

For instance, he's a financial idiot. He knows it and he feels bad about it and we work together to minimize the ways in which he can screw up. Yet he managed through carelessness to cost us over $3,000 in 2016.  I expressed irritation but didn't read him the riot act. What's the point? He already feels stupid and that feeling does not translate into any changes.  That's just one example.[/quote]

OP here. Yes, yes, this![/quote]
