Do you often disagree with your wife on things?

Stringer · Aug 1, 2010, 07:47 PM

Yes, sometimes several times a day. But not everyday.

The key for us is talking it through.

Hi, ROLCAM!

Yes. It's part of the reason that we got divorced a long time ago.

Why are you asking the question, please?

And, just to be fair...

If you're married or have been married, do you or did you often disagree with your wife about things?

Thanks!

Clough,

This is my second marriage.
I just disagree on about everything my wife says and does.
The arguments are endless.
It is what keeps life interesting.

My wife and I disagree on a bunch of things but it isn't endless and that's not the part that keeps life interesting. I would think that if the disagreements never stopped I would be a frustrated person.

I'd like a clarification please.

Are you frustrated because you are having arguments or because you are losing them?

I've been married for quite a few years now. We don't fight, we have lively debates and we usually end up laughing at ourselves before the day is done.

Now as to winning, I can count on one finger the number of times I've won the fight and came out on top. I have also won plenty of battles and paid dearly for winning them. Most often it is easier and safer to shut up and just lose.

Now I caution you, do not think I am a bully. My Lady is Scottish/Italian. She hails from a suburb of NY City and this Lady was in the U.S. Marines. Go ahead pal, you pick the fight.

I'm just a NY City Irish mutt and I was in the Navy.

But I'm here to tell you, I'm still breathing and would not change even a fiber of this Lady I married!

I was getting the impression that this was personal from your last post, and Donf is right, you can have lively debates, but who cares who is right or wrong? Let her do whatever she wants, whether you agree or NOT.

Keeping your mouth shut, and learning "yes dear", and knowing when to just quit.is a skill to keep a woman happy and you from being frustrated because at the end of the day, who cares HOW, or WHO, does WHAT?

I quit trying to make her see, and do what I wanted a long time ago, and she does her thing very well, and efficiently her way.

What are you disagreeing on so much? Is it that important? How long have you been married? Details please.

I was domesticated a long time ago and believe me living with my loving wife this way will allow me to survive/live a lot longer...

Not to say that I don't still have an opinion or three..

My husband and I argue or discuss! My husband is a very educated man and he doesn't use that fact against me . I only have a High School Diploma and a few hours of College.

He just lets me rant and rave. We express how we feel and then we just forget about it. It's worked for years. He is so good and kind and tells me to have more confidence in myself. He loves me the way I am with all my flaws. He's my heart.

As for arguing all the time , NO WAY.

I notice when there are times that my guy and I seem to disagree about everything,it is often because of an underlying stress,most often it is money worries.

The nitpicking is just a symptom of a larger issue.Maybe a night out or a break from routine would benefit you.

It is always good to remember the old adage*Lets agree to disagree*.
