New Again Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 In relationships, how common do you think it is for one or both partners to attack the faults of another during a disagreement or argument?
threebyfate Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 How many blades of grass can you count on the lawn of the White House? Just take a look around LS, within the longer threads and you'll see it happening more often than not. And these aren't romantic relationships between members!
stevejohnson1976 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 VERY common. its human nature to say things you know will hurt in the heat of the battle. im way too guilty of this in my last relationships and wish to change it with my next.
sally4sara Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 In relationships, how common do you think it is for one or both partners to attack the faults of another during a disagreement or argument? I use these events to decide if the person I am dating is having a healthy relationship with me. Getting tore down and being provoked to attack back is not healthy IMO.
Golfilla Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 In relationships, how common do you think it is for one or both partners to attack the faults of another during a disagreement or argument? Happens all the time. Personally, I think the best response is "well, you knew that before you started dating me, if you don't like it, there's the door". Of course, that assumes that you've always been honest about the type of person you are from the outset, which seems increasingly rare these days.
xpaperxcutx Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 " Love makes you blind". When people are in relationships, they can let their partners get away with most things because they like them too much. But an argument can make a person angry enough to list others faults and mistakes. It's common.
phineas Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 my wife did this all the time. She cut into me hard. In front of family & friends even. I believe it was her way of justifying her infidelity. reminding herself of my faults & pointing them out to others. she turned into a real miserable beyotch on & off during her affair & blamed it all on me. I did not do this to her in return. I talked to her when we were alone & voiced my problems. I didn't do it in a way to cut her down either.
bluewolf17 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 In relationships, how common do you think it is for one or both partners to attack the faults of another during a disagreement or argument? Very common. Pretty sure I had one relationship back in the day in which it's sole purpose of being a "relationship" was to learn the fine art of fighting and saying mean things.
