Please can I have permission to either scream or cry?

Role reversal in our household phoenix! Himself is an alpha male, (Mr Always Right) with a deep voice. Plus he is 2 years older than me and I think he’s of the opinion that’s another ace for him! He never walks away from an argument. Whereas I like the quiet life.... I’m a conciliatory type.
?
Probably annoy the hell out of HIM though!

I had one of those, left me feeling that I had over reacted when out of frustration I would end up shouting or in tears when trying to get my point across.

Sorry to say I don't think it's all down to the current situation, perhaps it's just highlighted it.

Blimey!

Bling are you married to the same man as me??

Ah Phoenix, we are all feeling the strain right now
Chin up and smile
Get a tray of olives, cheese and crackers and put some comedy on the tv
I would recommend Kevin Bridges

My first husband wouldn't argue either. It's impossible to do it alone. He'd go off to another room and read a book, leaving me hopping mad. Sometimes, I'd write him a letter to explain things!

It’s all down to the present strange times we are living in.....men do tend to close down when depressed, but better that than bickering all the time or a flaming row ( unless there is a really good reason.)
You have my sympathy.

Thank you, lemongrove, I think I need it.

No, but you have my permission to have a very large glass of
wine

Hello all,

Things not going well, don't seem able to get my point across without an argument, but of course Mr P doesn't do arguments, he just shuts down.sad

I don't seem to have a husband, just a housemate.
