We fight over time. Me wanting more of it with him and him not having enough to give.

That sounds familiar!!!

We don't see each other enough to fight ! That is a good thing!!!! I miss him when he is not around and then come the weekend by Sunday night I am DYING for my own space again!

OMG!! that is soo how it is here...when DH is gone on a 24hr tour...i miss him terribly!!
but then sometimes when he's home and nagging over something stupid, I'm like, 'when do you go back to work??'

We are in sync Christina!!!!!!!!!!!! Normally I am like haven't you gone back to work yet, stop that doesn't go there, just leave it I will do it. Then he leaves and an hour later I am like awwwwwwwwww I wish he was here

I would say we bicker more than fight. Our fights never have any real resolution...they just sort of fizzle out. But according to couple's research, that is supposed to be really healthy! Satisfied couples don't fight any less than dissatisfied couples. They just agree to disagree more.

I can't think of one thing (money, ILs, etc.) that we fight about a lot. Its more stupid stuff that comes up during the course of the day.

We aren't really fighters either, mostly bickering which usually fizzles out. I can think of maybe 2 or 3 times in 3 years where we have had what I would call a real fight.
DH and I are pretty opposite and somehow that works out perfect for us. It's the most mellow relationship I have ever been in, I guess that's why I married him. No drama is a nice thing, at least for me.

I think it's cyclical for us. Sometimes we fight all of the time, then it dies down for a while.

When we do fight, it's usually about the Playstation - how stupid is that!!!

Funny how I can't really put my finger on what starts arguments now when I'm thinking about it, but when it happens, it makes me SOOOOO angry!!!

We don't really fight either. Just loud discussions sometimes.

Mostly it's about how he'll take something out and forget to put it away, or his clothes strewn on the bedroom floor. Not that I'm an angel either, but this is what it's mostly about.

We don't really fight over $$ or IL's.

We're cyclical too. It seems once we both get in that argumentative phase, stupid things can set it off. But when we're not in it, which is a lot more of the time, then we're both easy going about everything.

I definitely tend to instigate more though - he's way more laid back then me and most of the arguments are about housework, etc.

(I should state that we've been living together for close to 2 years, even though we've only been married for 2 weeks )

We fight over money. Not enough to go around

We have the same little fight over and over again- always about cleaning- usually laundry- which he resists doing- and when he forgets to take off muddy shoes after doing yeard work and brings it in all over the rug i just vacuumed! We fight, it fizzles out in about 15 minutes....
