How Often Do You Argue With Your Partner?

[Ozy_Flame]

This thread re-assures me of my single status, especially coming out of a relationship with a bratty princess.

*whew*

While the good lord game me the ability to pee anywhere and standing up. He gave woman an extra slap dash of the memory and fighting part of the brain.

They can remember things that you said or did or promised five years ago, and twist them into a Nurenberg type indictment with fuzzy logic, and there are times when they're looking for a fight, and through ESP this instinct only kicks off when your as a man are distracted by something else.

I am not with anyone at the moment, I was with someone for 11 months jsut a few months ago. Only every argued about money - 3 times total. People who have $loaded$ parents who shelter them from financial realities dont get the fact that some people cant afford to take time off work thats not vacation days in order to go on a vacation.

Dont get me wrong, my parents are fairly wealth (building an 800k home) and own 8 rental properties in Kelowna but once I finished school the only thing I ever expected from my parents was buying me some stuff from Costco every once and a while and co-signing with me when I bought my condo (no money, just a signature and if I defaulted and agreement I would sell the condo).

My wife and I have been married over 7 years and together since 1993. Yes, we have disagreements (call them arguments if you'd like). I would never say we are "fighting". We've never had anything that lasts longer than a 1/2 hour after we get our opinions out. The examples by BBQorMildew above are unbelievable, I can't comprehend being with a girl like that (see Jerry Springer/Cops).

thanks HD

said what I was trying to say perfectly

I have been in a relationship where we argued constantly and she was a little psycho.

We used to live together in an apartment in Calgary. I got a job down in Lethbridge and thus moved down while she stayed in Calgary. I knew I had to break up with her but I didn't want to until I moved out all my stuff because I could just see my stereo equipment flying off our tenth floor balcony

It's okay if you argue every day, as long as the respect is still there.

[Crazy Flamer]

So here's a question for all you who have fights or disagreements. How do you resolve the issues. If neither person is willing to budge, do you both just let it go and move on?

[Old Yeller]

We never fight... I'm just wrong 40% of the time, inconsiderate 40% of the time, and asleep the other 20%.

If I had to guess, I'd say we have a major disagreement/fight/issue about once every 4 or 5 months. It's all in how you approach though, if you're both rational about it, you can actually build/learn/grow from it and it's helpful. If you both are screaming banshee's who throw dinner plates and say things you don't mean, the original issue isn't resolved and you've probably created many more.

Very well said as usual.

[Ayrahb]

I argue/fight with my girlfriend once a week, but we have a rule that there cannot be name-calling or violence -- no matter what.

[Slava]

I would say that my wife and I are in the never fight category. Its not that we agree on everything, and never irritate each other...we just get over it pretty quick and get on with things that really matter.

I think that because we communicate well though that the arguments never escalate to anything else and certainly never turn into some of the screaming and throwing things at each other described in this thread! (By some, not all of course!)

[Flashpoint]

I had a date scheduled for tomorrow night.

It is now cancelled.

It's resolved when I come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to win. Usually we just do our own little thing and let our heads cool.

My question to you would be.....Is winning the argument so important that it might cause a rift in the relationship?

If it gets to that point I merely say lets agree to disagree and move on.

[habernac]

define argument. We have disagreements all the time. No big deal. No two people can agree on everything.

[zukes]

My wife and I bicker fairly regularily. We get in heated arguements maybe 3 or 4 times. It rarely escalates beyond going to separtae rooms and calming down. There has never and will never be violence.

I calm down pretty quickly and rarely take anything said in an arguement seriously. My wife will be upset for days, even though the issue is resolved. Therefore, I never experience the best part of the fight, the make-up sex.

They have to be. Theres gotta be some upside!

[BBQorMILDEW]

Well guys i finally have a new update on my crazy ex girlfriend..

If you havent read the earlier posts please feel free to do so...

I get home from pool last night and all of my windows are smashed at my house, as well as my car, dents in the hood, tires slashed.

I have filed out a police report this morning, but the cops have no proof on who did this.. I told them about my ex and previous history and they tell me that they will investigate the situation.

So thankfully i do have home owners insurance but the dents and auto glass insurance but no tire insurance. So basically i have to cough up around 1500 to fix my car.. I am at wits end with this girl and will be looking to move to a new neighbourhood to put this behind me..

Word of advice to anyone.... .... If you know in your heart that your girlfriend is crazy Get out of the relationship as QUICK as humanly possible.

Or else your life will be ruined (short term)
