I voted that my man and I fight once a week.......but........

Fights usually build up between us. It takes several days of sniping then a blow out that can be quite mean. With children in the mix it changes everything, it upsets our little one when we fight and neither of us can take the guilt. I have made this big effort in my relationship it change my internal dialogue which was always keeping score. Internal dialogue can be very distructive so now when I catch myself thinking things that irritate me I switch the topic.

I am happier, more content, just generally a better partner and parent because i've worked hard to stop trying to win fights.

We still argue but the arguments are less fierce. More mundane things like laundry, dishes, getting free time etc.
