JUst wondering how often you fight with your spouse or S/O? Do you think it is healthy to fight? Do you fight fair? Or is all fair in love n war? Do you add name calling?

I fight with my boyfriend almost weekly... We quarrel over small issues and its those minor things that we could just overlook and get done with... I guess sometimes, its me... I tend to get all anxious and jealous over little issues... I guess we fight pretty fairly, as in we do not call names and take out certain sensitive issues.... How bout u? =)

Really? Tts like so cool... I mean i wanna be like that too... But i guess its pretty hard afterall... In fact, me and my bf are not much of a fighter too, but we tend to squibble over nonsensical issues... Thus, i dunno how to handle these kinds of stuff... I like him, he likes me... but i guess sometimes, we are too bothered by external stuff and yah, we dun have peace due to many issues... I have known him for only four and and we have been together for almost 1 yr plus only... We are still so far from ur happy marriage... But no matter what, i wish u all the best...

We disagree almost daily, but rarely fight. When we do, I am the more emotional one and tend to say things I regret. He clams up and that drives me crazy!!!!!!!! I am learning though.

well i fight i a lot with my wife. but we fight very healthy and for good reasons. moreover in the end everything turns sweet only. we do not go to the extent of fighting for days. it ends generally within hours. yes it is perfectly healthy. coz for us it is another way of loving each other and feeling attached

I do think it's healthy to fight. Not knock down, drag out nasty fights. Just healthy disagreements ( as healthy as they can be..lol) My husband and I have spats now and then, but they're usually over before I know it. It is a way to get out pent up feelings. It is hard living with someone 24/7 and there are bound to be disagreements. My husband and I have been married for going on 12 years and we have grown a lot together. We used to fight very nastily. We've grown up & out of that phase thank goodness. Now I call him "Jack" when he's being a pain in the rear and he knows he's being a jerk. He'll call me "VICtoria" and I know I'm getting on his nerves. (I'm guessing you know what Jack stands for, but VICtoria is his way of calling me a b@tch) We don't use the real words, we just use the Jack & Victoria. The kids are none the wiser, but we get our point across.

We havent had a really big fight in over a year. It was a huge one I hope to never have another one like that again. We have minor disagreements now and then but we usually can talk them out without arguing.

My partner and I very seldom fight. We have lots of disagreements but not fights. Its healthy to talk about the things that are bothering before you explode and make the situation a bigger problem. Neither of use resort to name calling or down grading one another. We just try to work out what the problem is in a mature way.

I have arguments with my boyfriend very often but you just have to decide what is a healthy relationship and what isnt. Its so easy to get into an argument & call each other names but when you can really sit down and have a healhty argument because there good for us every now & then, talk it out & resolve the problem.

My wife and I cannot be in the same room for 5 minutes without getting into a fight. It is not pleasant. If there were not kids involved I would have been gone a long time ago. I do not think fighting is healthy in relationships. cheers

Well I hope that you can work it out! It is also not good for your kids to see you fighting!
