...right, I was supposed to be writing an optimistic story, too. This is supposed to be happy. WELL FUCK. (I'm only a 1000 words in. I can make it happy! I swear!)
The protag and her partner have a quiet way of arguing and they often push aside their problems until their children go to bed. (Luckily there are ~plot reasons~ for the children to go to bed early, even the teenager.) I think there are healthier ways for them to handle their issues, but I don't think what they're doing is inherently unhealthy because they do get to their problems by the time they need to.
