How to address house partners’ arguments
Post Body

Asking this here instead of the regular polyamory subreddit because I think the people here may be a little more experienced in similar situations. So I’m in something like a V with a dashed line between the two ends (I am one of them) and we’ve all been living together for about 8 months. My boyfriend and his wife have been married for much longer than he and I have been together which is about 2 years now and unfortunately they can get into screaming matches at times. A lot of the time the fights seem to be over stuff that really doesn’t matter and even they will admit that it was over nothing. When they are fighting about something that matters I usually stay out of it bc it usually has to do with something between themselves but these other arguments that appear out of nowhere are a little more difficult for me to cope with. I unfortunately grew up in an abusive household so yelling and screaming can be very triggering for me, I can use my coping skills sometimes but when I’m being triggered a lot the skills I learned just don’t work as well. I’m really not sure how to address this as none of the fights have become abusive they’re just not good and often don’t have a purpose that really adds up to anything positive. I understand disagreements happen and sometimes that can lead to yelling but when it happens a lot it becomes harmful to my mental health. It’s been especially worse lately bc we all got Covid so everyone is in a bit of a shittier mood. What should I do here?
