Even the most difficult of the adjusting to marriage and expectations early years we never came close to that number of fights. Of course he was on the road a lot, but even so.
We did occasionally have a very serious disagreement and I'd get furious, and believe me I can stay angry for a very a long time (mom's training at work here) -- he came back from three weeks away, walked into the apt. and I glared at him, and he said, "I CANNOT BELIEVE you're still mad!" and I was, because he ducked dealing with all that was angering me. That may also be why we fought so little though -- is that he doesn't like confrontations.
But we've been together now for many years and we've arrived into that golden glow of years that you only get when you are together that long and you still love each other and share common goals and ideals and make each other laugh. We never fight, though we will disagree on some things. But it's never serious. We've come into very comfortable accomodations with each other's failings as well as each other's wonderful parts.
We can even write books together, books of history, and not even disagree very often ....
