Do you complain about your partner behind his/her back to others?

well only to my son, who is grown man, and lives with me, but not really complain just you things like sometimes he can get on my last nerve type of thing. I have no real reason to complain, my partner is a wonderful man.

I rarely complain about my husband to others, too. I think something you can talk to, but some are not. People always remember all the bad things you talk to, but remember something nice rarely.

No I don't. I wonder about the people who bad mouth the spouse to others, I wonder if they are so bad why is that person with them. I do have a best friend, we will vent to each other about our spouses. She is the only person I will talk to about stuff. I wouldn't want people to think bad about my spouse. She is the same way, sometimes it does help to get someones opinion about certain issues.

At times I will. But if it is something major and it is really effecting our relationship I will talk to him and not to someone else.

I don't go around and complain to every Tom, Jack, and Jill. But yes, I do complain. LOL But that is a way I can blow off steam without doing it at him. Sure, I seriously doubt that he would like the idea that I complain about him to my best friend...but at the same time, he does not like it when I sit there and annoy him either. So, if I talk or complain about him to my best friend, then that is less that he has to hear. I talk about it. And I get over it. :) Sometimes it is just better to vent than to argue. Besides, if I am being a butthead and need to see it from his point of view, I know she will tell me and I can not get upset at her. :D

If I have to complain about him I will do it to him. lol I do talk to his sister a lot though and sometimes it's about him.

No I don't. If I do complain and tell it to others, I make sure that I extended the complaint to him first. Just like last weekend, I started a discussion complaining about my hubby but it's not something that he doesn't know. If there's something I don't like about my husband, I let him know about it right away. As much as possible I keep our issues between us. I would never want to talk about my issues with him to my relatives and friends because I don't want people to talk about us and judge our marriage.

I wouldn't say i complain about him, but i do need to vent sometimes. it helps relieve the stress. sometimes there are little things that might bother me that he does and instead of nagging him about it, i'll vent to a friend. it saves me from getting pent up with anger for him and it saves us from a stupid small fight over nothing. I never say anything bad about him or hurtful.
