Question of the Day: How frequently are you watching FIFA World Cup 2026 matches?
When you argue with your partner ...
- Thread starter Dolby
- Start date
I'm blessed enough not to have a partner 
But hearing my siblings and their partners argue is like listening to a very awkward opera festival mixed with Nirvana and Tupac inbetween. When the fight is about money, it sounds like Opera with the wife usually at high pitched tones. When it's about house chores it sounds like Opera again, but Tupac makes his rounds to let everyone the stuff needs to be done, asap
When it's about lying it sounds like a grunge Nirvana song without the lyrics and just a bunch of beats and riffs
All around it's irritating for the young single man, especially the Operatic ones

If I fight with my girlfriend it feels like I'm talking to the wall ... Wait a minute, I AM talking to the wall, I don't have a gf.

I'm single atm, but the biggest issues I fought with my last girlfriend was:
a) Me being late for whatever (every now and then, she was really punctual)
b) Family - Usually hers p!ssing me off by taking/trying to take advantage of us/her/me, and her allowing it.
c) Me not spending enough time with her (I was away at varsity/studying alot)

My wife says I never listen. Or something like that.
a) about her family alot, and how they treat her, yet she never see's this
B) about me leaving her at home, and going out with my friends... not my fault she can't find friends to go out with
c) About not acting affectionate enough in public..

Always working, never spending quality time together (is at varsity), then holidays I wanted to rest, but she wanted to all kinds of stuff... I am in Stellenbosch, she in Jo'burg (long distance is crap), when she came down to visit, I either had to work, or wanted to rest... and that gave off hellish fights... now I am part of the single crowd! Yeah!

As most of you will know, me and 'my' partner are new and we've never really had any major fights YET, but we did have a argument Friday.
It was bout me not letting her know that I was NOT working late, but I didn't let her know because I had to come home and do a private job so in a sense I was working late, then in a reply sms, I called her miss priss and that p1ssed her off, so she came over, she gave me a piece of her mind and I gave her a piece of mine and we kissed and made up.
But with past ex's... 1 main reason for fights was that I didn't have a car... now that I'm working on that, I won't be fighting with partners anymore! hehe

we fight about everything from house chores to me picking on her
the best is always tell her eat something your very grumpy today hahaha she flies off the handle, goes to eat and says sorry
just a tip never argue with a chick if she has not eaten in awhile
also ppl who dont argue will not last, all the problems build up and eventually will explode
the best though is she moans cause all i do is play bf 2 and dont spend time with her during the week
bf2 or programs like grey's anatomy, not a hard choice for me really

Often neither do people who argue too much - there needs to be a balance.
All the arguments with the missus are minor. Cant say the same happened with the practice wife where we argued about everything imaginable.

yea no doubt to much fighting could be bad, but no fighting at all does not mean you have a perfect relationship , just means the 2 ppl dont speak their minds which is never good

when u live apart the complaint is time
when u live together the complaint is time (with the boys)
