Everybody has a different way of argiuing. How do you fight in a relationship? Are you the type that walks away, gets mad, throws plates around? I myself am the shouting type, but aftrewards i just clam up and shut down. I don't talk anymore and just shut of completely. Maybe someone could help me get ovet that?

I'm the one that walks away into another room, preferably the furthest one from where they are, and folds laundry. For some reason, I find folding laundry very relaxing, haha.

I do have the same with scrubbing my bathroom. If i feel angry with no apparant reason i start scrubbing the bathroom walls and the shower. I must say, I have a very tidy bathroom :)

I'm not a big yeller. I don't throw things or scream or argue. I hate to fight, and in most cases I refuse to argue with someone. If I'm mad at them I just walk away and refuse to talk to them. That usually makes the other person even madder than if you stand and yell at them..it drives them crazy LOL I dont do it on purpose though, I just can't help it. When I'm really pissed at someone I just can't talk to them.. i do the same as you, shut down and shut them out. My ex bf used to say it hurt him more that I did that than anything because it felt like I hated him and like he just didn't exist..I would completely ignore him and not speak to him no matter what he did or said..it really killed him.

When i become angry at my partner it lasts for only 1-2 hours and then my partner comes and says sorry and the same is the case if my partner gets angry.

when you are mad at someone , and you don't want to loose your cool , take deep breaths and try to remember something good about the one you are angry with.That will help.
