I am shamed to realize that in my marriage, my daughters never heard their father and me fight, which also meant, perhaps, that we didn't truly communicate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'
My wife and I do not argue. We communicate. We talk. But we've never fought in our entire relationship.
I finally got a chance to talk to my daughter from my previous marriage. I just got married May 3 to my beautiful wife, but we don't see each other much.
It was a long time in the making, my divorce. One day became less special than the next, and pretty soon, we ceased all conversation. It is a sad day when you have nothing left to say.
Actions speak louder than words, and it's no more true than with your kids.
I hardly said a word to my wife until I said 'yes' to divorce.
For 20 years, my mother, my sister and I had seldom spoken of my father. If he happened to come up in conversation, pain and embarrassment entered the room and stayed until he disappeared back into the silence with which we all felt more at ease.
My own father didn't talk a lot about feelings or emotions.
To be quite frank and honest with you, it drives me absolutely crazy when my kids fight, the sound of them fighting and not getting along.
I routinely never discuss my marriage. It's nice to have things in my life that are totally mine.
