What if you measured if each day with your partner was +/- ?

This is a peculiar question. My wife and I may have a disagreement maybe once a year, but we sort it out before going to bed because I’ve always believed you should never go to sleep on an argument, and my wife’s the same. If there are annoyances like one of us didn’t do the dishes when needed then we communicate with each other about it at the time and deal with it. Those are very rare also.

In the last year my wife and I have only had one day where I’d consider it to have been a negative day instead of a positive one, and that was due to a miscommunication which we sorted out.

For me it would absolutely not be worth staying with someone knowing that 60% of the days together would be negative. It wouldn’t be worth it for me if even 2% of the net days were negative, and that would be pushing it. If 2% of the net days were negative then something, whatever it is, is wrong. Healthy communication, respect, care, and trust are absolute cornerstones of any solid relationship; without them a relationship wouldn’t be worth having for me, speaking for myself.
