I'd really love to have more peace and quiet around my home, but by nature I'm a confrontational person. I hate to admit that, but it's true.
However, now that I have a child in the house, I want more calm surroundings.
My spouse is all for that, too. In fact, he is the one that has the calm temperament! So, it's all on my shoulders.
How do you avoid an argument with your spouse, when you really want to chew their head off? Bite your tounge? Walk away? Please help.

My husband and I have a problem with this, too. I'm the more confrontational one, but he's the one that is more likely to yell, once I get him started. I have no problems arguing in a normal voice in our bedroom once my son is asleep. But if I make my husband too upset, watch out! Not only is he going to wake our son, he's also going to wake any neighbors that might be asleep. lol
I've learned how to be a little easier on him in my approach. Also, if we talk about it right away, it doesn't escalate into some big dramatic thing. I think it's really starting to work. Last time we got into an argument, my son slept right through it, and my husband only raised his voice ONCE.

When I feel an argument coming on with me and my man, I usually just go to another room to cool off for a while, and he does the same. We have a rule to never go to bed mad though, we've broken it a couple times, but its a really good rule to have. Just try talking things out instead of arguing.
