I do not think so.

Ever?

A disagreement, to learn, perhaps... but nothing very large.

Define 'very large'.

Something with shouting and violence or worse.

I wouldn't call it a fight without shouting.

That is a good point.

I am very bad at fighting.

Not really.

Which?

The second sentence.

Oh. Is that a good or bad?

I don't care.

That is good.

If done correctly? Yes.

What is the correct way?

When you don't hit below the belt and say hurtful things, just to hurt each other. When you stick to the issue you're fighting about and get everything about that out in the open, how you feel and what's frustrating or upsetting you.

I can see how that would make things better, yes.

Not excessively, but yes. Arguments are healthy.

Just... once in a while? Every month?

Oh, no. Probably once a week. But then, it depends on the argument. Some are simple, some are petty, some are complicated, some are heated...

Let me put it this way. If you never stop fighting, it's a problem. If you never fight at all, that's a problem too. Fighting is healthy in moderation.

Once a week seems... often.

I don't fight with Brian, but then I think that is because I don't see him enough.

Like I said, it depends on the fight. You can't have a knock 'em down, drag 'em out fight every week, but you have to expect to disagree on things.

Does this concern you?

Impossible not to, I suppose.

I'm not worried either way.

I think not, no.

Why not?

If a love is strong enough then fighting is not necessary. Talking should sort things out.

But if you have two very stubborn people...

A compromise must be reached! One must break and try to sort things out.

You mean take a break from each other...?

No! One must be the person to calm down and compromise.

I think that's how it goes. Or should go. They fight, they go away for a few hours, think about it... and then decide what to do.

And it might improve the relationship.

... My love has not spoken to me for ages and I know not what to do. We've not fought, but he always seems so distant and furious...

It could be anger for someone else...

I do hope it is not I. *shakes her head*

And I do hope your friends cease their fighting.

So do I.

No one is fighting. I'm only curious.
