Have you ever been in a fire and ice relationship? Those relationships that are really passionate in every sense of the word.... in love and hate? Are you the type of person that can thrive in those relationships? Can you blow off the fighting part of the relationship and focus on the love? How long did you last in the relationship? Would you ever be a part of another relationship like that?

I don't like rollercoasters....in real life or in a relationship. Every relationship has ups and downs....I just don't like the dramatic version

I have been through enough BS. I wouldn't have the patience or the energy for anything like that........

It's the ice that gets me. I keep learning more about how to argue "well". Certainly not thriving on conflict, but working through contention can be an invaluable voyage of discovery and learning....and NOT just about each other. It's the unresponsive recluse that drives me up a wall.

I did that once and it was the unhealthiest relationship I had ever been in. It was along time ago, I learned a lot from it... I have not since or ever will be in a such a destructive relationship again.

I don't find that type of relationship satisfying in any way---too much drama

I HATE fighting... I know arguments will take place from time to time but fighting is so immature and unproductive.

Yes, I have been in a relationship, but ended it for the sake of my children and my well being

staying away from "fine", "whatever", and "you always" is a good idea

It's the unresponsive recluse that drives me up a wall. What do you do when other other person doesn't work through it? They are just the type to want to end the disagreement when they are losing or swear 'no more', but it's only to stop the argument? However, when they feel wronged or upset about something, they are sure to bring everything back up or take something simple to the extreme?

Arguments are good, as long as headway can be made. But if neither party is willing to come to a mutual understanding, then it is time to throw snowballs and declare a winner by way of a snowball fight.

The thread title led me to believe this was going to be about The American Gladiators.
