If I remember well they didn´t argue a lot, but as I grew older they started arguing almost every day. Mainly because of my mom beeing very controlling of me and my father. However they loved each other a lot.

My parents never loved each other and argued all the time.

My parents argued a lot, but never with personal attacks. They would get mad, and strongly push their own point. They would never insult or demean each other.

My parents would fight a lot. Both fought to be dominant towards the other. No surprise they divorced when I was 13.

They argued in front of me what will be the right or wrong thing for my education on a daily basis. Anyways i perceived it like they were arguing over me and i couldn’t stop them. It wasn’t very peaceful with my parents. I am happy not to be around them anymore, but we had good times as well.

I wasn’t around when my parents were growing up.

My mother had a talent for choosing abusive men. Or at least not leaving them once they showed their true colors because she thought she could change them. I remember one traumatic instance clearly.

I never really saw them fight but one day I was in their room and went to use their bathroom. I heard a shout and when I came out my mom was on the floor. She said my dad pushed her. My dad was physically and verbally abusive though my mom was more of a passive person.

My dad was in a drunken rage beating my mom, threatening us with guns, tearing down walls, ripping phone books in half… Yog name it. It was awful

My parents were usually quiet (between them) when I was a kid. My Mum would ask my Dad about his day and he’d go on a bit of a rant. Other than that they didn’t say much between them.
Usually my Dad would make poor jokes, judgements and sometimes make fun of people. He never really understood the rules of conversation - at least within the family. He expects everyone to kinda bend to him and never show disapproval or a difference of opinion.
Last few years my parents don’t talk at all. My mum had enough of how he treats her and has shown signs she wants to leave but doesn’t feel able to.
In some ways it would’ve been healthier for them to argue and my mum to make my Dad know when hes being mean/unhelpful/harsh etc. But my Dad gets so upset about criticism that no one in my family (other than me and my brother) ever say anything.

My Dad cheated so since then they had regular rows I think a lot of it was when mum was hormonal

My dad left us when I turned 5. I rewrote history and edited him out of my memory while I repressed any feeling I had toward him. My mom and dad had been having serious conversations to try and resolve things.
My siblings and I fought tooth and nail every day. It was really quite upsetting, sometimes it was even physical. I repressed my feelings when I went out to play and got lost in my imagination, a precursor to mental illness.
Today I’m learning how to face Reality. Anything worse would have been too much. My example is that my dad yelled at me once and I carried it with me for life.

My parents would fight using the silent treatment and a lot of banging things and yelling at us.

Yes- starting from when I was 8 or so I noticed them arguing a lot. They often blamed me for that. Despite them arguing a lot I can remember being 9 , and my mother telling me I’d never be as good as my father.

'The children now love luxury; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are tyrants, not servants of the households. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize over their teachers.’ -Plato
My Mom put up a lot from my dad.
But they were not in an abusive marriage
She was truly an angel
