As with all averages some people skew it. My neighbour is always arguing with/shouting at his wife and kids. Even when I'm there, it's most embarassing to see him call her a bitch! Why she puts up with it I have no idea. Perhaps he's hung like shergar...

It's always nice to hear a bloke unfraid of making comments like that in public, what a gent. Makes you wonder what he says/does behind closed doors.

Maybe it's cause I grew up on a council estate, and true to sterotypes and all that, shouting couldbe heard regularly coming from a fair few households. Mine was probably one of them. The language people used infront of and towards their children is abonimable. My parents were no different. I wasn't ever a stroppy teenager or antyhing. I'll put it like this, my parents each had their 'issues'.

I'm glad to say that I haven't had one argument with my partner, and we've been living together for two years. If something bugs one of us we'll just talk about it. I couldn't shout at him, I'd feel too guilty and what's the point? And I don't think he'd dare shout at me. But he's not that kind of person anyway, he's pretty quiet.

My husband is very quiet too.

He has exactly the same personality as my dad & my dad was the best.
He had his problems (drink) but was the kindest, most loving person ever.... that was until i met my husband.... now they both are crowned the best men i've ever met.

They share the same birth sign, their birthdays are only 3 days apart.
There are no men that could ever match my dad or my husband.
