My Erik and I both grew up in "loud" households, so we like things quiet. We never yell, (partly because we don't fight.)

As for others: I like people to be straightforward with me. If I did something wrong I'd like to know. If I get childish games like "the silent treatment" or "avoidance" I just ignore them. If the person really wants to resolve the problem, they can act like an adult and come talk to me about it.

If I'm in the wrong I'm the first to admit it, and if I've hurt someone's feelings I do my best to make amends.

I'm not interested in "game-playing."
