stupid question but I’ve seen in American tv shows that the wife asks the husband to sleep on the couch when she’s not happy with him… is that a stereotype or does it really happen?
Canadian confirming that the angry party leaves the bed. Usually me because I need time to think it through, get pissy and maybe a little childish, get over being pissy and childish and then go talk about it once I’ve realized how I was probably wrong or have come up with a way that accurately describes how I was wronged and why that makes me angry or sad. My husband is also the type that needs to think it out before talking so it works, unfortunately his process is way slower than mine.
I don’t know if it is a healthy way of dealing but it works for both of us and neither of us had healthy examples of any relationship in our lives so we take what we can get

I’m Australian, but my fiancé and I tend to do the inverse. Whoever is angry sleeps on the couch.
It’s a much better system, because it incentivises trying to solve the problem
What if both are angry? :D
Then netflix makes a true crime docuseries about the murder
Then we both sleep on the couch obviously
Nice.
If my wife’s mad at me for something I said or did, she’ll sleep on the couch. -American

calming down taking time to think things through sounds like a healthy relationship to me
