What do you fight about in your relationship(s)?

It doesn't sound like your husband won too many of these.

I have Frosty Paws, too!

we fight over the volume of the television...

*sidebar* slip just said he'd blow bush for a dirtbike or maybe even toss his salad EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW */sidebar*

anyways: tv volume, who's gonna make supper, beer money LOL, doing laundry, him wanting to swipe the car, his brother coming over, his grandpa's latest stupid actions...and the list goes on.....

I'm not much of an arguer in a relationship.
I don't bicker, PERIOD.
If you don't take out the trash, I will grumble and do it myself.
If you NEVER take out the trash, I will eventually decide that you are a lazy bum and kick your ass the fuck out.
Basically, if it's worth discussing, we can do it reasonably.
If it isn't, I can't be bothered.
If it's something I don't think is going to change, I'll either decide to deal, or decide that it's a deal-breaker. It may take me two years to get around to giving an eviction notice, but be assured it is coming.

You want to live in the hive, you'd better make sure the Queen Bee is content.

Lack of money.

well its not really a relationship, but its always been an issue with him that i dont want to label our time together... he wants me to admit that hes my boyfriend when hes not. he wants me to as he put it "get over the fact that i broke your heart but im trying to make it up to you" like i can control how i feel.. he wants me to take him back and pretends everything is perfect and we can get married and have dogs and kids and the whole nine... and i just cant.. not just for what he did, but sooooo much other Shit that happened before and after he came along.. oh and the fact that i found out i was pregnant two weeks after we were no longer speaking, had an abortion and didnt tell him about it b4 or for 3 years after.. oh and were only 23and i just told him 2 days ago i didnt want to see him anymore..

Sex has been our only reoccurring argument between my girl and I...

Our biggest fight though (and most serious) was when she went to Vegas for vacation. My big issue was gambling... I dont have a problem with the occasional lotto ticket or poker game but I have serious problem with my gf going off to gamble away 100s if not 1000s of bucks when there are so many other things we could do with that money (especially since these 'things' are things we both talk about and want). In the end she told me the main reason she wanted to go was a Beatle and Elvis show and she promised not to gamble.

The sex argument I wont go into since I already made a thread about it... No use repeating.

Money, bills, who puts the dog up when we leave, and of course, the tv remote:)

Just normal, day-to-day petty arguments. I think they can be fun sometimes though.

We settled the biggest disagreements long ago. Here's a sampling of things we've "discussed" over the last two weeks. Like I said, dumb:

• Who gets the remote control (he always has to have it)
• Which towel--pink or white--should be folded and placed on the dining table for one of the cats to lie on. I felt a thick, plush white one better complemented orange tabby fur and was a nice way to honor the University of Texas, too. He felt a ratty pink towel was more suitable.

hehe thats adorable, you should start more topics! My last relationship didnt produce a single fight for the first 2 years. And like you, the major issues were dealt with long before(I saw to it), and any fight after that was pointless and petty. But such is the nature of things, people love to push buttons, especially the buttons of those we love the most, oddly enough. Those sound like a perfectly healthy list of petty arguments though, gotta keep things interesting somehow!

He hates walking the dog alone, I think its ridiculous that I have to go on every walk the dog goes on when I have school work to do after I get off work at night.
Healthy eating (he's a health freak)
house work
other small things that really weren't worth fighting about. We bicker a lot.

Whatever gave you that idea? Here's how the score came out:

He still controls the remote control. Dave: 1 Bird: 0
I won temporarily on the white towel under the cat, but he switched it out and replaced it with the ratty pink towel early this morning before I got up. Dave: 1 (in overtime) Bird: 0
I conceded in on brushing the cat in the dining room and have promised to do that someplace else since he feels it's unhygienic there. Dave: 1 Bird: 0
I picked up his coffee at the store yesterday. Dave:1 Bird 0
Farting: Dave:1 Bird: 0
Football volume: Dave:1 Bird: 0
Who lost the phone and the shears? Dave: phone Bird: shears (a tie)

The only one solidly in my column is the Frosty Paws. Bird: 1 Dave: 0

This is typically how the power structure works around here. . . .
