We are always shouting at one another. We had an incident just over a week ago where I slapped him across the face because he kept being extremely sarcastic to me. He slapped me back and then there was pushing each other. It only stopped because I was embarrassed if anyone heard us fighting. I need some advice! Reply to this Question

reader, anonymous, writes (3 November 2005): People who pick on their mates tend to be avoiding talking about somethings that really bother them, so they find something petty to fight about. And, the frustration some times gets physical, because avoidance of the real issues cannot go on for long before the body demands a physical release to avoid a mental breakdown. Get both of you to marriage counseling, or partners counseling so that you can learn how to address real problems, and not avoid them. Once you are honest with each other, and learn to communicate to each other directly, you will find a vast improvement in your relationship. Right now, neither of you really likes the other, and the public fighting and sniping at each other is a form of disrespect intended to punish the other for some unspoken wrongdoing.
