A good parent always knows better than to fight or argue in front of the kids, but as much as we avoid it, there are always times that we tend to slip, especially during arguments that are very important to us.

Just the other day, my husband and I had a huge fight at my mother's house. The only people around was me, my husband and my daughter. We then went out of the house to continue fighting, and I started shouting at him and hitting his motorcycle. I broke his speedometer, and he got very mad and he went back inside the house to find something to break as well.
He grabbed my mother's lamp, went out of the house again, and challenged me if I wanted him to break it, and I smacked the lamp myself (LOL) and said I didn't care.
At this time, my 5-year-old daughter had followed him and watched us with the door open. I had tears in my eyes during the whole fight, and so when she saw that I looked like I was crying she had this very concerned look on her face (like she was almost scared that something was hurting me).
I immediately told her to go back inside and continue watching cartoons, which she obediently did.

Our fight ended up with my husband leaving, and me staying with my daughter. I was quick to smile at her when I went back in the house, I did not want her to feel worried about me at all, and so I showed her my happy cheerful side. She asked why "Dada" was angry, and I told her because he did not want to watch "Tyra" with me (the show) because he thought it was very boring, and she thought this was a little silly and laughed.

You see, my husband and I can get very dramatic at times when we fight so we always try to keep out of sight whenever we're in one.

Have you ever had a fight with your partner with your kids witnessing part or the whole of it? I feel guilty after such incidents, do you feel guilty as well?
What can one do to avoid ever getting into an argument in front of the children?

I think we have to do our best to control our anger when the kids are around. Never something easy to do but we have to try.

We also can't hit each other or threaten to destroy the other's property even if we know we might be joking around. If our kids see us doing violent things to each other they will start being violent too.

Arguing in front of the kids might scare them as well.

Yes, I agree, and it is at times like these that I really want to leave my husband. I don't want my children to be exposed to the kind of fights we have, which is why I always try to make sure we do them outside the house or somewhere out of sight.
My daughter is still five years old and I would never want her to feel scared or concerned, I will definitely be trying much harder to never something like that happen again.

Not only your kids should not be exposed to such fights but also you - I understood from your other messages you're pregnant in eight months now- should not be provoked till got irritated so much that you needed to break something.
Sorry to tell this but your husband is quite immature if he didn't understand that you needed to be treated gently especially this period .

I can understand the situation you are in. I have been there before. As much as we don't want to fight in front of our kids, things do go out of control at times. Hence, when I am very angry with my other half and before it gets to me, I simply go out from the house to cool down. It is better this way rather than let the kids watch the terrible fight between us which at times can get very rough.
