I don't usually hold my tongue, but I do sometimes. One I can remember is I hold my tongue when I'm frustrated at him being overly sad or negative over something so we can just try to move on from it.
Sooooo many things. Just because I'm the type to start stupid shit over nothing.
I agree. I shut up because it wouldn't do any good to bring it up.

How things are ran
Nit sure I can hold my tongue:(
I really shouldn't hold things, because usually I can talk to him about
anything, we resolve it and move on. But lately, and maybe it's because I'm
at fault too, and we've both gotten lazy, but I've been holding my tongue
about cleaning on our days off. Nothing gets done if I don't do it, and I
feel overwhelmed and then don't get to it. To be fair, he does work a lot.
But I could use a little help.

About making things uncomfortable with our roommates through passive aggression.
We have an agreed upon setting for the thermostat because I like it cool and she likes it really hot. We came up with a compromise setting somewhere in between both her preference and my preference. I always seem to find it well above the compromise. It's just a little frustrating to have me sticking to our compromise and her not. So I kept my mouth shut about it for some time until this week.
I've been so good lately! ;) I didn't change the temperature setting yesterday or the day before. Hee hee.

That is true. I haven't been so good at sticking to my part of the
compromise. That's not cool. Will try to be better at making sure the
temperature is within the compromise range whenever we are both in the
house. Thanks for putting up with me.

Not to disagree with her opinion.
Um. I don't hold my tongue. I lack the brain to mouth filter most develop by age 12.
