P.S. a "fight" or "disagreement" is very normal in healthy relationship. What your described now is abuse. So...maybe you should have said that in the first place.
He said lasst night and today that he is going to try harder for me. That he is going to buy an engagement ring too. We have got along last night and today. So have kids.
So, that's it? No consideration for parenting classes or couples' counseling? An engagement ring is not going to solve your problems, in fact, it may start several new ones.

Its more fun to be high and mighty, huh?
The OP has several threads about the way things are in her household and relationship. Germaine isn't being high and mighty by reminding her of her previous complaints.
Why is your boyfriend disciplining your kids instead of you? And I may get flamed for this, but why are you living with a boyfriend with your kids? Too many kids are abused by live-in boyfriends. And I think the kids are too old to be sharing a room.

I am not being "high and mighty" since the OP does not consider those things "abuse". In fact, it appears from her threads that she does NOT even consider them a "fight" or a "disagreement" but her BF's right to treat her that manner.
While it is true that what is a "fight" or a "disagreement" can vary from person to person. But, I still feel that a loving couple CAN go for two years without a fight or disagreement. And, no I do not think that I am "lying" to say that. I also do not think that it is "normal" to fight in healthy relationships.

You acknowledged that the OP was in an abusive relationship in one of her other threads.
I know I come and complain on my posts about my issues sometimes. I am sorry for that. It is just that is my way to be able to vent w/ my thoughts and feelings. I hold too much in. I am going to go to therapy myself. There is a lot I need to deal with. I think my kids keep me grounded and sane. I would do anything for them. One min I think it is getting better and then I don't know.

You know how you just need a break sometimes from the kids, like when you wanted them to go to the Build-aBear so you could have some time alone?
I'm sure your daughter feels that way too sometimes. She just wants some time and space to be herself, without her little brother.
Siblings Without Rivalry was recommended to you. It's an excellent book and one you could begin reading wihout waiting for therapy.
