I dont't with mine...the only time as when I'm drunk or we're both drunk and it's only ever me being mad at him apart from one time! We tend not to get drunk now!
Are you part of a firery couple or sickly sweet or a mix?

Not really. Neither of us are very argumentative. The only times we argue (and not even a proper argument) is when one of us is tired or I have PMT. But even then they are just over stupid little things. Been together 15 months and not had a serious argument.

we do argue, but not that often, although we do go through phases. Usually we`ll go ages and then have a proper big argument which is really intense and can be quite scarey sometimes but then its over with and we get back to normal. the vast majority of the time we get on really well and are both pretty laid back about stuff. Most arguments arise out of being stressed about money, which then boils over into other things.

At the minute we are arguing quite a bit about stupid little things, we went for well over a year without having an argument, bah i was a lot more laid back then where as at the minute i'm a lot more stressed out which reflects i guess :/
But it's nothing too serious which isn't soretd out with in a few minutes so it's all good.

:yes:
same. i don't think we've ever had what i'd describe as a row. i've upset him a few times, and he's upset me a few times, and we had sulky snipes at each other, but that's about it. and again, it's almost always when one or both of us is tired, stressed or upset.
we're both pretty laid back, and fighting is just way too much hassle.
and anyone who argues in public deserves a slap. i hate that.

We are a bit sickly sweet tbh.
Sometimes we get annoyed at each other, but we have never had an argument or row-I think because he is living with me in my halls of residence only having one room to ourselves puts us in each others pockets a bit, and when I'm trying to write an essay and he is wanting to watch tv or something is gets a bit tense, but never anything more than being a bit peeved.
And I agree with kaffrin-people arguing in public is not good.

We bicker about unimportant things, but we've never had any serious arguments.

If you never disagree or argue with each other then, IMHO, you aren't being honest with each other.
We have petty sulks at each other quite often, mostly because one or both of us is always knackered. Only ever had one blazing row though.

We had SUCH a blazing row a few weeks back. Everytime I tried to bring it down to a conversation rather than an argument, he would bring it back to an argument, it was like he was pissed off and was spoiling for a fight with me whatever. I ended up shouting that he was a fucking cunt, I kicked the door really hard and it made me think no wonder some people snap and beat their spouses up sometimes. I know thats a terrible thing to say but thats exactly how I felt at the time.
You wouldnt think it normally, because were usually such a laid back couple. We dont bicker at all (id hate that) Just every now and again we have a scrap and its back to normal again.

We've had a few fiery ones. But he mainly gets mad cause I give up talking in an argument till...it's stops being an argument and becomes a conversation. Such a sensitive lass, I do tend to let a few tears slip if his really has a go and I can't seem to find words to say back as I can tell he sees me as wrong and will just repeat himself over and over till I stop saying my point of view. Find it hard to have a full on argument cause it's usually over a bloke I used to see, and I can't defend this bloke (which I don't anyway) but I can't say anything in my defence because I become guilty of provoking this other bloke to send me dodgy texts or threaten to come over or ring me.
My bf's quite a tempermental old woman bless him. Both as stubborn as each other, we can never agree on whose right and if an argument is laid to rest, he always whispers something like "I'm happy we're both agreed I'm right"...which begins a whole other argument about what a twat he can be :D
Awww...relationship...

we disagree all the time. we just very rarely let it get to the point where someone's sulking, and never to the point where we're flinging insults.
not seeing eye to eye doesn't have to be a negative thing. if we agreed on every little detail, life would be annoying and crap.

Kaff, in my opinion I would agree mostly, but not entirely. But each relationship is different, so I wouldn't want to comment too much, it's just been my experience that if a couple never bicker or argue then they are hiding things from each other. Not strictly in a bad way, just that they aren't being 100% open about everything.
RB, I don't think we ever get to that extreme, but I did have an engagement ring thrown at me:D
im not sure how much is classed as a lot...
but any argument is too much. i hate arguing. and its normally due to lack of communication = confusion and misunderstandings.

and in my experience, the one who bicker and argue are generally the ones who are hiding things. if you lay every single card you have on the table, what is there to fight about?
then again, my role models aren't exactly normal couples. bless their hearts.

I suppose it depends on how you bicker and what you bicker about. And it depends on how stubborn the two partners are.
So many variables. But I do think a certain level of disagreement is normal, and no disagreement ever is not healthy.

i totally agree.
but i think some couples manage to disagree in a much more sedate way than others. and that disagreement doesn't always have to equal argument.

I hope you picked it up! I had to laugh reading in the paper about colleen whatsherface throwing her engagement ring to the squirrels after she found out about rooney and his wrinkley hookers.
My ex boyfriend and i used to argue for shit, i swear he wasn't all there though, one time during an argument he jumped out his bedroom window and broke his leg, he used to headbutt lamposts and even put his head through his bedroom wall and made a huge hole. Looking back i'm suprised i wasn't more terrifed :crazyeyes

I just broke up with my b/f. We used to argue constantly. Some people just have personalities that clash, and some people just seem to enjoy picking fights about nothing. It tires you out and is a waste of time.

I agree with this to be honest.
We have differences of opinions as any normal 2 people do. But we don't bicker about it unless one of us is really tired or whatever. And we never really allow it to turn into an argument.
Both of us are fairly passive in our approaches to things so they never turn into full blown arguments. There are more important things than to worry about whether to go for the pine bookcase or the beech bookcase.

i just had a row with my bf just now but we made up it was over the fact i wanted to see him this weekend and he was stressed. we row sort of a lot but very minor rows.

We argue from time to time, it's over really petty things though like drying the dishes or talking the dog out :rolleyes:
I moan a lot, that's another reason but Mr Glittery is used to that now and he switches off. If he thought my moaning was bad before though then he's in for a shock over the next few months :D

in my past realationship we used to argue like ALL the time, but with my other half now we've been together for 5 months an not one single arguement!

Been with my bloke for a year and a half and we have never had an argument that was so bad we thought we might break up or something. Though we do have disagreements, obviously, and to be totally honest they are usually because I want things my way. Its not usually him starting the bickering, he is so laid back I sometimes have to check he is still breathing. Has got better now that I am on some medication and not so hormonal constantly!

Some good responses.
Me n my bloke agree on loads but we forever 'debate' on issues and I'm always right but he never admits it :D

Me and my partner tend to argue quite a bit which worries our mates. But tbh there nothing big, we mainly argue about tone of voice and mixxed signals. Oh and his diet we had a really serious row about that once and we both were almost in tears.
