Does anyone..

fight with DH? I know thats a pretty vague question but whenever im on this board chatting, i just feel like maybe im the only one that doesnt have a perfect relationship. DH and i bicker about house chores and family get togethers and all kinds of stuff. I knew marriage was going to be work and i'm ok with that- just wanted to know if its normal. Am i the only one thats not in newlywed bliss all the time?

No, you are definitely not the only one. DH and I have fought before but we only moved in together after the wedding. We bicker about little things a lot. I think we both have different styles of communication and we expect different things from one another. It's tough but marriage is worth it. Good luck - know that you're not alone!

Thank you!! I feel so much better that you said that.

No problem. DH and I have had our fair share of communication issues (small and big) but now it all seems magnified because we're in close quarters all the time. We used to live 60 miles apart so we had our space a lot of the time. It's all a transition.

I think everyone has disagreements and bickering sometimes, especially about the things you said (chores, family functions....)--nobody wants to do chores, and it's tough to make new traditions surrounding family and the holidays....sounds like normal stuff to me!

Dh and I have been together for 11 yrs and there is never a week that goes by that we dont fight about something

I think fighting a little bit is natural. I think you have to get things out and not keep them bottled up because then they lead to problems that are never solved.

oh no you're definitely not alone on this one that's for sure. a little arguing is normal i mean you may love each other but you are still individuals and we all have our own ideas, just remember it's all about compromise - give a little get a little.

I am sure nobody on this board has a perfect relationship. Remember, we all tend to post about the best things about our marriages, not the worst things. Every couple bickers, fights, disagrees, etc. You are definitely not alone!

Don't ever think your the only couple that fights!! It happens with every married couple I'm sure! Dh and I have our share of fights. Marriage is hard in itself..its a huge adjustment process..

Of course you're not alone! All married couples fight & bicker at some point or another. Its really just learning how to resolve it calmly and not let it escalate to much more. More often than not it not 'just' about taking out the garbage, its more than that.

we fight a lot, and i think its because we're learning to live with each other. DH and I started living together about 6 months ago, but I think we're getting better.

Re: Does anyone..

you're not the only one. I would say that the majority of fight with DH are about things like chores, money, and extended family. Even though we fight over silly things and it gets to be frustrating, at least I figure it's better than fighting over serious things. I think that there's no way NOT to get into disagreements with someone that you're living with. No matter how in love you are, at some point one of you will do something that will annoy the other one. It's just a matter of how you handle it. If you have a good relationship otherwise, then you should be able to get past it when you do get into occasional fights.

You aren't alone by any means. Lately, it seems like we argue over EVERYTHING.

Exactly, all couples have their own issues and have their great moments and bad moments, its only normal. Majority of couples fight, maybe 1% out there never get into fights lol. Being with someone everyday, all the time I think its only normal that problems will occur and little fights will happen. Whether its the same type of fights or other issues. We dont fight about chores but theres other things we do fight about

Everyone's relationship is different!
Being a newlywed is about ironing out the kinks in your relationship (i.e. bills, cleaning, cooking, etc)

I did notice that when DH and I have been dealing with crap at work, we don't fight. We haven't had a fight in weeks b/c work has us running home just to be with each other...
OUT of bad, there comes good I guess

yes we definitely bicker or fight, and get on each other's nerves on a regular basis...especially when it's a certain time of the month for me.
