This was prompted by a previous discussion with one of my Mylot friends....!!
Do you ladies throw crockery or anything else at your partner when you have a serious argument?
I say 'ladies' because unfortunately I think men would use their hands or just walk away........I could be wrong..!!
So what have you thrown at him, crockery, the saucepans, perhaps the tea/coffee pot? How about the pot that goes under the bed...?
It would be interesting to know. More importantly....did you hit him or miss...?!!
Just so you know where I stand, my dear wife has never thrown anything at me in our married life but I feel sure I have pushed my luck many times and just got away with it!!
I once threw a pencil at her (I was doing the monthly house accounts) and stormed out of the house for a long drive for a hour or two. Early days of marriage, one son, no money, high mortgage, the main cause.
Anyway less of me....how about you?

I have done, on one occasion. My dad was ill in hospital and my husband was to take me to visit him. He was late home from work because he had stopped off for a drink on the way and I was furious. I was drinking a cup of tea at the time, so I flung it against the wall, but my husband being the easy going type, just cleaned up the mess and said he would make me another cup of tea. I have never done it since as I regretted it as soon as I did it. He is really a darling, but he can be so forgetful at times.

I have never thrown anything at anyone. Though I did used to threaten my other half a time or two. But I am not into throwing things. Mostly because my luck, I would miss and/or break something and then I would have to clean it up. Now I have slapped him..once.. right across the face.. he was so shocked that I did that that he just stood there, mouth open.. I was shocked that I did that too...but he made me see red, and I just reacted... So there we were, both standing there with our mouths open, and then I started laughing...of course he thought I was nuts! But he never made me that angry again..So i guess he got the point..
Either that or I scared him...lol
But I have never thrown an object at someone.

Oh this is funny for someone to want to know!! If my husband tries to wake me up and get me out of bed I will throw whatever is close to me: the remote, a shoe, anything. I don't think I have thrown anything at him during a fight except food. We both end up laughing about it later anyway so he doesn't really mind.

I have been married 35 years. I have never thrown anything or hit him. I have to be honest though and say that I have thought about it a few times.

The only thing I've ever thrown at my partner is a pillow, and that and a snowball, and those were in mutually-agreed-upon play battles : ).
I think if you and are partner are having problems on the scale that you throw things at each other or resort to any other type of violence or potential violence, than one or both of you needs counseling, anger management training, or out of the relationship.
If I feel myself getting to a "boiling point" in argument, I walk away to calm down.

I threw a couch pillow at my ex-husband once, and hit him square on the head. -- of course, that just got me attacked by four pillows and turned the fight into a fun wrestling match. I've never thrown anything at my current husband, nor have I had the desire to. But - I would like to think I wouldn't miss if I did!

I've never thrown crockery at him - i've known a guy who has thrown a plate during an argument with his girlfriend (not really at her, just threw it in anger against a wall) so it's not just the ladies, I'm afraid!
I don't see what point throwing anyhting would make. I figure if he's annoying me that much, then the [pot is definitely worth more than him - I'd rather throw him at that point ;)

Why on earth would anyone do that? It sounds more like something a child would do.
In my early years of marriage, I would have the tendency to "go quiet" but it wasn't long before we decided that if anything ever irritated either of us, we would say so, quietly and calmly, and talk about it reaonably. One important part of that is that we would never let the sun go down on our wrath. It has served us well over nearly 47 years. I won't say we have never had disagreements, but they have never lasted very long - and throwing things? Never! Not even words.

Hi 'Cloud'.
I congratulate you in not throwing anything at your hubby in 47 years....us too and we got married in the same year possibly.
We have thrown a few words at one another in this time and the only thing that ever flew through the air was a pencil and after I thought what a foolish thing to do and have never done it since!
Thanks for your views....

No, I haven't. Though people often joke about things like this...if it happens truly, that's abuse no matter how you look at it. There are men being abused by women physically. It probably happens more than it is thought of because it is *much* less likely to be reported.
I think any type of physical violence between partners is wrong. Not saying that it doesn't happen once or twice in a relationship, that relationship could survive if it never happened again and it was totally out of character to begin with.

I have never thrown anything, mainly because I like my knick knacks and so forth. I do remember when I was pregnant with our 2nd son (I did not know yet for sure) I had an emotional outburst like I'd never had before or since.
I took a cake out of the oven and all my poor husband said was "it doesn't look cooked". I sent it sailing across the counter and it fell onto the floor. This of course was his fault. So I went outside to kick his truck. My dad was nearby and walked over to where I was having my tantrum.
"You must be having another baby, you are just as ornery as a heiffer" Well that did it. I was a puddle of tears.
My dear husband had cleaned up the cake mess and was just comming outside to calm his psycho wife when my dad reaches out his hand and says "Congratulations, when's the baby due?"
My husband did a wee bit of tip toeing around for a few months, but I was fine after my initial "outburst"

Once again Ally I get my best laughs from my friends....!!
Not that I have not had a giggle or two from other posters on this thread and I'm very glad to say I have not seen a incident posted yet that has had dire consequence.
A great way to introduce a new addition to the family and your father must have been one heck of a parent.
Thanks

My parents used to throw things at each other when they were married. Both of them. *shudders* I would never throw crockery or anything heavy like that at my husband.
I have been known to throw empty pop bottles. They're light, plastic, not really dangerous, and mostly it's just amusing. It's usually when he's saying something intentionally to make me mad, and he has been known to throw them back at me so I can try again when I miss. So it's pretty much a game.
