When you're talking on the phone and he's getting annoying, or he says something stupid, will you hang up on him in his face? Even when he gets mad what do you just want to avoid arguments by hanging up the phone on him. How do you avoid arguments? I just definitely do not want to hear the crap that comes out of his mouth sometimes. He argues that I have an attitude when I talk to him sometimes, but I don't think I do. He's just annoying me when we're away from each other and he's on the phone. Sometimes I just don't want to talk to him. I don't pick up the phone. When we're together everything is 99.9% perfect.

I can relate to this topic. I used to be married now been divorce since 2005. I hate arguments and fights so yeah I have to admit I hung up on my ex-wife and she did that to me as well. Oh yeah as you can guess when either of us did it the rage meter raises up high. I'll tell you one thing about your man though - if he is bickering and complaining so much he needs to stop it and grow up. That's one thing I learn not to do is try to out argue a woman or get into one.

To be perfectly honest....yes.....sometimes....when he makes me mad....which happens alot on the phone, because we are both irritated by the fact that we arne't together. After I hang up.....it's horrible but I will usually call back right away and blame him for making me hang up, or curse if I am still really mad. We are susally both done being mad by the time he gets home though.

My spouse is now deceased but when we use to talk on the phone I would routinely hang up on his dumb conversations rather than argue with his jerky alter ego. On the other hand, I never hung up on the romanticly wonderful man who was incredibly sensitive.

I have before. He kept nagging and nagging and I just got tired of it and hung up on him. I couldn't stand listening to him nag me over and over again for the same thing, so I Just got mad and hung up.

Oh Yes, I do hang up on my hubby. Love him dearly, but sometimes he can't see the fact that his ex-wife is leading him around by the nose. Usually our heated debates come over dumb sh*t she is pulling and the fact that she wants us to keep giving in to her, when she doesn't pay child support or even provide one red cent towards her daughters keep in over 2 years. I get exhausted with her playing the victim! He wants to be sympathetic to her plight and continously asks me to look the other direction while he cow-tails to her whim. Sorry, when I've had enough and he can't see things my way, I hang up on him and then he realized how po'ed I am and will put his foot down, but he has to think that it is his idea.
Don't beg a man for forgiveness unless you've cheated on him, don't show him you are vulnerable, or they will exploit your weakness and have you catering to their every whim. It is better to give the air of arogance that you don't need them and have them begging at your feet.

I guess you can say that I've hung up on my husband. But we have the push to talk feature on our cell phones so when we are communicating this way if he is driving me crazy I just turn off my phone. :P

Yeah, because I get tired of someone that always has so much to say on the phone. It becomes severly irritatin' so I just hang up.

I really try hard not to hang up on him, but it has been known to happen. He has hung up on me as well. This usually occurs when we have been apart (he is military) for a long time and the argument has gotten out of hand. Thankfully this hasn't happened in quite some time and doesn't happen often.

Yes, I have to admit that I have hung up on my husband more than one time when we've gotten into an argument and I just either didn't wanna hear it anymore or I got mad about it. The thing is, that is one of his biggest pet pieves and when I do that it only makes him angrier at me and more verbally abusive than if I had just let him finish his ranting and moved on. It really is a no win situation although it feels really good at the time to have that advantage on him. It really makes him even angrier when i won't pick up the phone after having hung up on him. Something I need to work on, but I think everyone's done it at some point or another. He's a, "we gotta talk it out or fight it out now" and I'm a, " give me some space and i'll talk to you later about it after i've cooled off" really a bad combination, but we love each other,so it works out in the end most of the time. LOL! God bless

Yes, whenever we have a huge argument, we hang up on each other...but then usually after a few minutes of calming down, one of us will call the other back to say sorry.

I never hung up on him but he did. He even made a real circus, a real spetacle of himself. Since then I don't give a damb any more for a man's feelings. Men do NOT have feeling they just have perceptions. It was not the first time when he did this back then. When he did it first, I though we got disconnected. And I was talking nice to him. Men don't deserve any consideration. A man will just ask his wife for understanding, but he won't give anything in return.

I hang up sometimes but only when he makes me go nuts with trying to make his point, it is usually when I ask him to go or do something that he doesn't wanna do. Then he can make 1000 excuses just not to go there or do that. I don't like that because I know I have to persuade him to go or do that so when I don't feel like arguing I just hang up specially because he can be pretty persistent and cold then. I mean he is very nice to me and all that but he is just keen on trying new stuff or doing things he doesn't feel comfortable about like visiting my family but at the same time he finds it very normal for me to visit his family.
