What is your definition of “Argue”?
Literally disagree over anything. Both trying to prove they are the one who is right. One sees a situation one way, another sees it completely different.

Right up until the time they divorced

Why were you on a gay website?
He came to visit and he was on his iPad when he went to the bathroom. He left it on the couch with his email open. I looked over at it and one of the subject fields was from a obvious gay site. So I went to the site and searched for dudes from his city that were his age, and bam, there he was. Getting arse plowed by some other old dude. (No pics) It’s kind of strange living all your life thinking your dad is a heterosexual, then suddenly you’re looking at pictures of him getting his butt stuffed. It took a lot of jack Daniel’s to get over that one!

They usually tried to argue in their room, but I could hear everything they talked about by pressing my ear to any central vacuum inlet. To this day, I wish I never knew that. 
If we have an argument, I always keep in mind our son could be listening to us. This keeps the argument more polite and likely to be resolved.

Argued a few times. Once when I was 11 it was bad and I kind of had a breakdown about it...crying that they would get a divorce like my friends parents...
My dad took me outside, told me to shut up, stop that nonsense and he was tired of hearing it. Be a man. This just how it goes sometimes.
Probably the last time I ever cried over other people nonsense. Overall, pretty productive fight.

All the time, horrible fights, with scathing insults and no resolution. As a kid it was the worst

Married 52 years. I’m not sure they even liked each other. Mom was absolutely brutal in a fight and always went for the jugular to win. Dad drank a lot. He would hold it in until the alcohol kicked in and then he was scary. He didn’t do that often but it was bad when he did. Later, after mom died. I found out that there were reasons mom was so unhappy and dad fooled around on my mom for their entire marriage.
I always thought mom was a bitch. Turns out she had her reasons.
Mom was a war bride. They probably shouldn’t have gotten married. But here I am.

A little... A large part of the problem was my dad unwilling to admit to hearing problems. Him yelling was actually just being a little upset but not angry. He just didn't have tone and in some contexts. It could be seen as mean instead of constructive criticism like your dropping your shoulder that's why you are popping it up... He was yelling it. I would mumble something and he would tell me to speak up and the. I'm yelling at him so he can hear me. It was a difficult few years in puberty for me tim we got him to get some hearing things. Drastic change.

Yes…all the time. I inherited that trait unfortunately. Married a soft spoken woman who’s parents never yelled and she never yelled….now she yells more than I do. My kids will probably yell as well.

Sounds like a bad situation, but sounds like you made it out alright.
But I’ve got to ask this, How’d you stumble on a gay website, or are you gay all-together? Asking for a friend, lol jk - And btw, I am actually a social hippy libertarian kind of guy & fiscally conservative & pro-American! I don’t care what people do with themselves as long as they don’t jam it in our faces.
I think women/good & fine women are God’s greatest gift on Earth, and can’t understand a man liking a man, but I sincerely do not judge negatively, I know many cool gay folks, several people I knew growing up, in business etc… I really don’t care one way or the other, I care about someone’s soul, heart and character.
I just don’t want my kids being thrust into all This gender crap when they are young. Let kids be kids and learn as they grow up.
Sorry for hijacking the thread.
But that was curve ball when you say that (you seen your Dads profile on a gay website)
I was like
WOAAAAAAA - what do we have here and might as well park my car for the most interesting comment on the board today :-)
Anyways, take care, all good and I apologize if I come off the wrong way.

Yep. Both my parents worked shift work and were up early. They were always arguing early in the morning when they thought us kids were asleep. It was always about money as my dad was a spender and my mom was a tightwad. They made it though and are still married. It's been almost 35 years for them.
My wife and I don't argue much at all. She makes decisions, I approve or deny them. I don't really care, about day to day little shite. But we both understand that if one of us is vehemently against something, that needs to be respected.

Never. But there were times of tension for sure. That’s the standard I try to follow, the wife often dgaf about that standard when she’s in that mood.

I believe, when she chose to marry my Dad, her intentions may have been to have a partner who could help her financially and be a father to me. I’ve had a lot of issues with him over the years, but he is the Dad who raised me.
Someone mentioned earlier that their parents split up for good when all the kids grew up and left. I’ve been in my own house for years now, and my younger sister is about to move out of my parents house and get married. I really don’t think there is anything keeping them together after that. I just want to see my Mom happy, and as long as she is with my adopted Dad, that’s not going to happen.
Your mother had sex with a male that ultimately resulted in your conception and birth. She married a man in your adopted father that raised you. Is your sister your half sister or biological sister?
In this post you say you want to see you mom happy. I’m going to come off like a giant a-hole here and I do not mean to, but I want to see your adopted dad happy.

In 22 years of marriage I saw my parents argue once.
Posted on 7/22/22 at 5:28 am to SaintlyTiger88
Yes.
Posted on 7/22/22 at 6:05 am to SaintlyTiger88
Yes, and they divorced when I was 13 and it was brutal. Dad told me a month in advance and convinced me of how awesome it would be for us to go be best bros.. turns out Dad never told her he wanted a divorce, we just left.
When we left, Mom had an APB put on Dad for kidnapping, and then a restraining order which forced me back with Mom for a while, and they shite talked each other to me.. I had to tell Dad once "Dad, you cant talk about Mom like that to me. If you were a kid at school, Id have punched you in the face already"
Anyway, this shite fricked my teenage years up bad.. If any of yall divorce, leave the kids out of it ffs.

My parents hardly ever argued in front of us - maybe a few times. They were a solidified front. Nothing could penetrate them. If one parent said no then that was the answer.

I’d be surprised if there was a day Dad wasn’t out of town from the day they got married till the day he died my parents didn’t argue, and they were married nearly 60 years. He certainly had the ability to give her half of everything and walk, but never did. Asked him once why he didn’t, said when a man makes a commitment it’s for life. Good, bad or ugly you keep your word.
I’ve been married 4 decades to my fantastic wife. His example made me REALLY think about it before I DO. Because there’s no way I could have put up with my mother that long in his shoes.

Once.
Big one. Too young to know what it was then. Too old now to want to know what it was. Dad “walked out” on us. For about 4 hours. Drove around. Got a beer at a bar. Which he never did. He was a Monday Night Football drink Schlitz at home guy.
Must’ve been a big argument. They never had a real one since and they are still together. They are now the older couple who argues more to pick on each other and laugh than anything else.
