The $100 Question: Katie from Confessions Of A Young Married Couple Asks About Your Last Spat With Your Sweetie

A few weeks ago. It was more like a tense discussion. It didn't end well. He's not so significant anymore.

Hmm it's been a while since a big blow-out...Easter I think! He wanted things done one way and proceeded without considering my opinion and I was really taken back by that. We had a big discussion and all ended well. :)

We're a couple of passionate, opinionated people, so spats, bickering, fights, blowouts, etc happen way more often than I care to admit.

last night

we've only had a couple of actual disagreements ever, so nothing recently at all

On a roll..haven't had a spat for 3 weeks!

We don't really fight/argue so n/a.

We don't fight too much (he's laid back), but we bicker often when we shop together. I just don't think it can be done. Grocery, shoes, clothes - - nope. Never pleasant!

The last spat we had was who was going to get the first bath when we got home! He is a bathtub hog!!

We rarely fight, small or large or otherwise, but I probably snapped at him, and said something in a less than polite tone the last time he didn't clean up after himself cooking...

I had a fight last week.

We haven't had an honest fight in awhile. There's lingering tension about our "mommy daddy time." We're not on the same page and it's frustrating in more ways than one!

Melanie @ MelADramatic Mommy

Thankfully we don't argue often; however, our last issue was out of all things over the junkyard. He wanted to go, I didn't want to and it started from there... How silly! :)

fight over money

Well, it is me. I got mad about a plumbing problem with the toilet. It keeps leaking and hubby will fix it and even had a neighbor help but it is a real problem. So when I smell the wetness I got mad and said to call a plumber. He said he would. I got mad and he didn't. But he really never gets mad at me. Wonder how he can not, but he is just that good to me!

Yesterday. He doesn't understand that a compromise means BOTH of us are satisfied. He wants to work from home all the time. I want him OUT of the house by 9 AM. So he stays home 2 days a week and leaves at 10... 10:30... 11AM on the other days, and doesn't see why I'm aggravated. But of course this is the same man who, when we were selling our car, was going to wash the windows of the car while I was vacuuming it. So I'm vacuuming the front seat. Guess which window he decided to clean first - the inside of the front window - how am I supposed to vacuum when he's RIGHT THERE???

I got us lost driving when we had to detour, and when hubby woke up we had a spat.

We have had a little back and forth lately about the rotten behavior of his 2 teenagers....I just keep telling myself - two more years! :)

2 nights ago. My dh is suppose to give our youngest her nightly bath. She was already in the tub and for some reason he told her she could get out and that I would give her her bath in the morning. I was livid. lol The only thing I ask of him in regards to helping with the girls is that he give the youngest her bath and he couldn't do it.

my hubby has been told over and over and over when you shave clean your whiskers out of the sink..we just fought the other day over this..it just grosses me out when he does this yet he keeps on doing it and i get so annoyed :(

I seriously cannot remember the last argument we had.... I think it was between 1988 and 1990 -- reason: my boys were old enough to actually think that having a argument meant you were getting divorced. And I think we spent more time assuring them it wasn't so than even on the argument itself. We learned early in our relationship to "debate" an issue. Basically you get to state your side, and let the other state theirs.... then YOU switch ... and basically take the other side of the argument as if it were yours! It helped to straighten out every issue because you could "see" where the other person stood and understand why. PS we were high school sweethearts and going into our 39th year of marriage. We also work together each day ~ which for many isn't ideal, but it works for us!

The other day I was upset that we had a leaky roof that was damaging our wood floors so as we were taking about it I started to cry (I'm going through menopause) and he got mad and said it wasn't worth crying over and went to another room. I was mad that he wouldn't comfort me. I ignored him for a few hours which ended when he tried to make me feel better about how he acted. I felt better later on.

My last spat with my husband was yesterday over whose turn it was to tuck in our son after he got out of bed for the 20th time last night.

I asked husband if he would please help me 10 minuites to put screws in new bookcase. ( I had just driven 40 miles for him to pick up his cell phone and lunch box he had forgotten in pick-up) Answer: ---Nope " dont have time" but in next breath he wanted me to drive 35 miles for a repair, and load tanks and bring to south farm --another 45 mile round trip. ooooooooh! Flames shot out my ears.

We don't fight....it's probably been years since we had one. Would've dealt w/ money.

we really do not fight. the last time we had a fight we learned how to communicate so that we do not fight anymore.

Yesterday. My wife got mad because I didn't fix her dinner. garrettsambo@aol.com

it's been a long time since i had a fight, with my significant other, and it didn't last too long because we don't like to fight.

two days ago...

but an argument- last week when I was busy with the drs, er and in the hospital even though he wasn't with me as he can't stand it, he felt the need to take off work.
Yeah- he gets paid by the day so- sucks hard. Not only the bills after insurance but nothing coming in, either.

We haven't had a fight in almost five years. And then, it was over something stupid.

money. We try not to fight in front of the kids and most times we don't but money seems to be the only arguement we ever have anymore.

I think it was because I had to work too many hours at the job I had.

this week over the dogss getting lost

The other night I politely asked him to take the trash and recycling out. His reply? Why don't I ever do it? It's not his "job". Apparently everything's my job! I'm still fuming over this one!

After a long long day or running errands, getting lost, and dealing with the worst traffic we get home and he wants to go to sleep! He has to get up at 4 am. I however have no time to be anywhere. The problem? I want him to stay up! In my pregnant pea sized brain this means he wants nothing to do with me. I gave him the cold shoulder and he, he sent me the sweetest text ever from bed.
Fight over!

Our fights are almost always about money. I think we need more. He says we're fine. I'm a shopaholic but I am also a bargain shopper so I don't feel I'm asking to much when I ask to be handed some cash. I'm a SAHM who doesn't get paid!

I fussed at my husband for NOT using his turn signal, AGAIN. I don't want to have someone slam into the back of my car because my husband can't use his turn signal. He has been driving for about 40 years - using a turn signal should be like breathing for him by now!! :)

My most significant other is my cat, Gigi. Our last spat was over whether or not the recliner is a scratching post. The squirt bottle told her otherwise. Thanks for the contest.

The last time I had a fight would have to be about 2 weeks ago. I hate fighting. I try not to fight. The 20 minute cool down rule is super awesome. I just wish I would remember to do it sooner than I do. Sometimes fights are good though. Gets stuff out in the open. Those darn hormones though.

we last fought several days ago (before the trash) about who had to put the kids to bed! lol

our last fight was over taking out the trash!

I talked to hubby during a break at 4:30 and told him the lawyer said he didn't have many more questions. Of course, I wasn't counting on the other two lawyers' questions and the hour or more it took to select the jurors (I'm so glad I didn't get picked; it was a civil trial expected to last two weeks). So, he didn't eat dinner, and he kept waiting for me to call, and finally I called, and he just kept complaining about how long they kept me and they shouldn't do things this way, and on and on, and finally I just said that I didn't mind doing my civic duty and I'm sorry it was such an inconvenience to him. I don't think I snapped it or anything. He said, "I guess I'll just shut up about it then," or something like that. That's the closest we've had to a fight in a while.

we don't really fight that much, but I got a little ticked about him driving me crazy about not drinking Pepsi and only drinking water, but in his defense, I do have gestiational diabities. I knew he was right I just hate being told. I am very stubborn.

The last spat we had was a month ago and I woke up for the billionth time before 5 am with the baby. I was very cranky and decided that if I couldn't sleep then he shouldn't either. I felt so bad later and we laughed about it because he knows I'm not a morning person.

We don't really fight. The last real fight I can remember was in 2004. That being said, I did snap at him the other day after being home with the baby and very little sleep. I apologized though and it was done.

on vacation, in Vegas. I finally told hubby that if I heard him whine one more time about his crappy luck in the casinos, I'd beat him! :) So then when he wanted to complain, he'd say "I know I'm not allowed to discuss this, but...."

We have a plumbing problem and both of us were mad that the plumber didn't show up until after 7 pm and after he left we got into a spat about how I was going to handle the dogs tomorrow when the plumber came back to fix the problem. We never really fight, just quick spats that are quickly forgotten

We have little spats almost daily, but I really can't even remember the last time we had a real fight. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen, but they always seem to blow over and become a thing of the past.
