My dad loves to argue. The funniest thing is that he hates it when people refuse to engage in arguments with him. He is the most excited when others get dragged into arguments with him. My brother and I play this game with him, long story but kind of like being a “grey rock” in a way. We don’t engage
He eventually figured that we aren’t engaging in arguing (we used to when we were younger), we don’t put up with crap but don’t get dragged into it, so he now argues with customer service reps, eBay customers or employees, various organizations, city council etc etc it’s quite hilarious, some things are unbelievable. He clearly enjoys it and he’s been like this always on and off.
I am married and we rarely argue. We do have disagreements but mild and it’s always me being displeased about something, but it’s never intense arguments or anything. My husband is easy going so he is rarely displeased lol
Many people have combative relationships and they enjoy it. That’s fine. Not for me. In addition we both have very demanding tiring stressful jobs. No way we’d come home and fight. Heck no. I’d not be married to an argumentative guy. I like peaceful home
I do need atypical amount of space in relationships though. But that’s not topic of this thread.
