How often do you argue with your partner?

[lavalamp98]

Honestly all the time. Like a bicker at LEAST once a week and a full blown like crying argument maybe every two weeks, even more recently since becoming long distance. I know this probs isn’t the norm and we should probs break up hahaha

 

[CrimeJunkie]

We rarely argue but when we do they are HUGE. Tbh I am surprised we are still together after some of those!

Same

 

[megsmagoo]

We’ve never had screaming shouting arguments, we’re just not like that! Have small disagreements but they don’t last long

 

[JoeBloggs]

We bicker quite a bit, we used to argue a lot more and go days without speaking. When we were in our early 20s we lived in a tiny flat away from all our friends and family and he worked very long hours and we had no money.

Now we have more space, more money and more time we argue less. We do argue but we get over it as life is too short.

It’s interesting, how many arguments/disagreements does it take to maybe think you’re not meant to be? What makes you stay? This is in no means judgey! Just genuinely interested, we’ve been together nearly a decade but not sure I could stick it if we argued a lot but that’s my personal preference

I guess it depends on what the arguments are over too? I always remember a friend telling me years ago that she broke uo with her boyfriend because she was "sick of arguing with my best friend". He kept up the party lifestyle while she was focusing on career. They eventually got back together and are now married!

I feel like we’re “in” an argument at least 50% of the time - whenever we do argue it lasts WEEKS. I’m not even kidding, he will walk out and not come back for days, and then he’ll come back - we’ll argue again and then won’t speak for another week or so. Good job I don’t mind being on my own and it doesn’t really even bother me anymore.

That’s terrible. Can I ask why you are still together?

 

[Drea1984]

We shout at each other constantly big fall out where he will walk out approx once a year. That said we laugh a lot together & haven’t had an easy time of late

 

[Suzesnooze]

Yeah but I feel a bit awkward not wearing one haha. I'm really non-confrontational so the half hour of discomfort is worth it not to have anxiety thinking about another customer confronting me just could do without the bf browsing the reduced section for 10mins when he has no intention of purchasing haha

Yes I can understand that. They need to provide some kind of badge or something that says you're exempt.

Ha! My inlaws love the reduced section. They go out every evening to Tesco to buy stuff!

 

[OnlyHereForTheLolz]

I guess the 50% where we get on keeps us together - to be fair most of the arguments are because of me, most people would have left years ago!

I’m thinking the sex must be really good too
Fair play, personally I couldn’t cope with that much friction

 

[Drea1984]

I’m a right misery so I try to keep this in mind with my partner he has many many faults but does jolly me along and that’s worth it’s weight in gold a lot of the time

 

[TheBabeWithThePower]

We've never shouted at each other, we've occasionally had a minor falling out but it usually happens if one of us is in a mood oice something unrelated.

I can probably count on one hand the number of minor arguments we've had though, we just rarely seem to disagree.

 

[Suzesnooze]

Me and my partner never really argue. We are both quite chill, we bicker about daft things on occasion - like the amount of time he spends browsing the reduced section in the supermarket argh, I like to get in and out as quick as poss atm as I have asthma and wearing a mask is uncomfortable for me. Aaaaanyway lol, we never really argue about big things as we are both ‘talk it out’ people and don’t like drama (I also don’t like shouting due to a previous partner being a very angry/shouty person) so we usually talk through any problems we have.

Did you know you're exempt from wearing a mask if you have asthma?

 

[ChubClubThug]

We used to argue quite a lot, I'm very hot tempered and he is very laid back so that would wind me up. I say we have a big row once every few months but do tell each other to fuck off quite often

Same here glad we're not the only ones! I grew up in a loud mouth, shouty household who laughed, argued, sung, danced, had heated debates and bickered everyday.. and he didn't. So I think moving in with me and getting to know my family was a bit of a shock for him

 

[Hello Kitty]

Same here. We don't argue as much as we used to but him being so laid back is a problem for me when I actually want to have a moan

 

[Rippedjeanmaybe]

I’ve been with my partner for 5 years, we are mid 20’s, we’ve never had a proper shouting, stomping around argument.

we bicker sometimes, like he might say something I disagree with, but he thinks he’s right and we might have a small bicker, but generally that only happens every few months and it’s usually because one or both of us is tired or hungry or both! They only last a couple of minutes and there’s no raised voices or shouting. One of my friends is in a relationship were they constantly argue and fall out, I couldn’t cope with that.

I think the thing with us is we don’t generally have many worries at the moment. We don’t argue over who does the housework because we are both laid back and a bit lazy! I’d never tell him off for not pulling his weight, because I’m a lazy cow half the time and he does more than me quite often anyway! We are very lucky to not have any money worries and we don’t have any children either, but overall I think it’s just because we are both so laid back, nothing really phases either of us!

 

[Mrs Cucumber]

We've been together 10 years and have had 2 arguements in that time, both when I was pregnant so very much hormone based and him being a twat

I'm a very blunt person as is my husband,we are brutally honest with each other and it works well for us.

 

[LittleMy]

Too much. Life is stressful at the moment, for various reasons (some more obvious than others). We never used to fight at all until the babies came along.

 

[Shestheman22]

We argue a lot about how he’s never home and we never get time to spend together. He’s either at work, football or seeing his mates.

Then there’s the little bickering arguments about silly things. It’s very rare that we are nice to each other that’s half a joke!

 

[ChloChlo]

We argue alot. Due to his snoring and not dealing with it (been told too lose weight). Im so sleep deprived and depressed that it causes major arguments. Very reluctant to lose weight and blames me for being a light sleeper. I have 3 children to care for and when im so exhausted, it's not nice for all of us. Im very snappy with them all the time. Im due back to work soon after m/l doing 3x 12 hour shifts and im dreading it on 3/4 hours sleep. Ive threatened to divorce him and leave with the kids, he will 'diet' for a week then slip into his old ways.

Snoring seems to feature in alot of mine and my partners arguments too. Only thing is I am the snorer. I have heard the recordings he likes to send me when he has the hump and it is not pretty. I never used to be one until I was heavily pregnant with our son, he is now a year old and I'm still snoring like a chainsaw.
