Do you row?.... I often see comments on threads referring to ' Whenever we have a row'.... Is this the norm?... We never row or argue but often hold differing views or opinions. |

Rarely row but have lively debates! Used to live next door to a couple who, even in their eighties, would stop speaking to each other for a week or more, I could not understand it - perhaps because I would never last that long - perhaps an hour if pushed! Ann |

Perhaps a nicer word than "row" would be "difference of opinion". I don't believe any married couple who say they always live in harmony. Either they are dull or are downtrodden. We cannot agree all the time, life would be dull! We've been married nearly 50 years now! Sylvia xxx |

Sharon and I rarely row - I prefer to walk away and tacklle the problem when she's calmed down, and she's a bit of a sulker lol - but apparrently that's a bad thing, and a good row now and then is good for you. Or so we've been told. |

I rowed with the ex-boyfriend constantly! It was 99% of the time my doing, I can be over zealous and he used to wind me up constantly!! Best thing about rowing is making up afterwards ;-) becx (who now fights with herself... and he computer!) |

Paul I wonder who decrees that 'rows are good for you'? You are brave to walk away! We've been married for over 33 years and how we live our lives seems to suit us and our family OK. Sylvia I hope I am not dull, but I am certainly not downtrodden. No amount of arguing would make my husband or I change our ( sometimes different) view on things, - so we don't start. Just because we are married, I don't feel any need to change my opinions to match his. We have some way to go to match your years of marriage, I'll keep going! |

its just psychobabble from "professionals" (don't ask !!). For some reason they think everyone should be the same... |

When we married first of all we agreed that if either of us displeased the other we would be honest and sit down and talk it through.Even if we disagreed on an issue it had been aired.This meant that there was never a storing up of slights and grievances.It has worked well for 25 yrs. I think young people see too much in your face agro on the soaps.They imagine that this is the way to solve disagreements.It is a pity. - What do they call it Confrontational Behaviour - Rose |
