The Unspoken Rules in Fighting With Your Wife?

[frodo82801]

I was having an interesting conversation with a co-worker. It seems that we agreed that when having a fight with your wife, a guy had better not call his wife any names as he will never live to hear the end of it. But, we both know a lot of couples in which the wife will call the guy all kinds of names and he's expected to just forgive and forget.

What do you think?

I agree 100%.
Know your rights...
You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say can and will be used against you for the rest of your life. :fear

Respect must go both ways.

When we first got married my hubby and I had a big talk about not putting one another down in public. You know some spouses like to critise the other in front of others thinking they can get away with it. Wait until they get home. Big NO we have never done this to one another out of respect and love (16 years married and still deeply in love). Note it had to go both ways for it to work.
