Is it weird I never heard my parents argue?

A lot of parents believed they should not argue in front of the kids.
That belief is debunked now.
🤣 And we’re quite the opposite, thanks to our healthy and free environment at home, and school. @SW-User

Yes, but it's hard to believe they never argued. Maybe it was infrequent and you never overheard it when they did.
Yes, that’s unusual. Possibly they did it only in private, away from you.

My ex actually said, "We're going to have an argument. Pick a topic.", as we were driving down the road. It would have been ok had they been remotely civil but they typically caused me to hide away into a shell. She would talk and I would try to make head or tail out of it and try not to lose mine in the process. The phrases, "I feel...", "So what I heard you say was..." Were all a part of the regimented communication routine but when the "I'm insulted!" Started flying a part of me just switched off. These were not sparing contests these were always a bloodsport and I was the poor bunny being released to the hounds.

No, that's not weird. Some couples do get by without arguing.
It seems a little unusual, but that you never heard them argue, sounds heavenly. I think your parents were good relationship role models, unlike so many parents who argue, and more.

@PhoenixPhail it just put me at a disadvantage for handling confrontation and conflict. Someone raises their voice and I get mortified. Its something for me to work on. My parents did a great job and any communication issues are my own problem. I dont want to sound like I'm blaming them for anything.
Same here. All credit to my mom who doesn’t like arguments. She usually kept quiet until Dad cooled down and gave him the silent treatment. I’m really glad I never saw them fight.

I can't answer for "weird" but I certainly did on numerous occasions; and attact each other physically. It can be very disturbing for a child.

Every household is different...and meditation is a thing so ... lol ; )
Are they capable of speaking? 🤔

@BeefySenpie yes but they wished I wouldn't talk so much
@morrgin Then I guess it's a good think you have SW where you can talk all you want.

No.. not really. My parents were very good at keeping it hidden.
I never heard mine have a conversation
I wish I never seen mine argue. 😢

I heard it occasionally, but rarely. Sometimes my mom would vent about my dad to me.

But in the end, they still get along well and they've been married for about 25 years.
