When you and your partner argue, what is the most common reasons or things you argue about? Or maybe, an even better question would be, even if you're still single and you hear from your friends who have partners, what are the biggest or dumbest fight a couple could ever have and to those couples who have this experiences, how did you manage and make it through - through the years?.... Opinions is welcome. Share your thoughts - even if you are single or with a partner. Thank you and happy mylotting!

I consider myself to be very lucky in that I've not fought with my husband very many times in the almost ten years that we've been together. In fact, I can only think of three times that we've had a fight. The first time that we fought was because he thought I was too affectionate with my male friends not too long after we met. The second fight that we had was because I was being aggressive and out of line. The third fight that we had was concerning fiances, which is actually the thing that I think causes the most fights between couples.

In general couples usually fight over jealousy. I usually fight with my partner but it is more because we always have the need to change our attitudes. We are not the easiest people but we fight then talk then make up. Fighting because your jealous is just plain stupid.

me and hubby fight on negative things that i want to change with him, like smoking, i also don't like to be always told and instructed on the things that i want to do, reason why i fought back whenever he corrects me on something which i think not really a big deal. he on the other hand is a very jealous person. he would felt jealous whenever i always have my celphone with me and when i come home from works late than my usual routine. but our fighting, i think is just normal for married people, i am hoping though that it will eventually subside through times.

There are two common reasons that any partners tend to fight that seem to be popping up in many arguments. Money and how to raise children. Those are the two big ones and there are many small ones. However, those are the two things that many people do have the biggest of a divide over and it is frustrating but things can get rather heated. Granted, not all arguments are over the big things. In fact, the small things can get just as nasty and spiteful. A bunch of small things can build up over a time, until it explodes over something like leaving clothes on the floor or dirty dishes in the sink. That's not the exact reason but it just the straw that broke the camel's back.

The most common reason why we usually fight is because of simple lies. Guys tend to have these lies that they think that it is better than telling the truth. We usually argue why did he lied but not on the lie itself. After some arguments, we make it clear that everything is already settled.

the most reasons why partners fight especially to the singles are their time. in our case we usually argue the time because so busy with the work that's why we have no time to go together. .but later on we really find ways on how to manage our time like we have our break in our work together just to be with each other. .then later on we able to manage our time. .

I think one of the main reasons people fight is because of money issues. Usually these cause big problems. Sometimes jobs are not available and money runs short. When this happens it does not leave room to actually do things as a couple and that leads to boredom. When this happens it leaves room for fighting and money issues never get solved. Another reason couples fight is jealousy issuses as well, guys have a problem keeping their eyes focused making their girlfriends angry or vis versa

Firstly, I will say that I think that every couple should fight. If you fight, it means that you have a passion for what you're fighting about; and passion is certainly a positive thing in any relationship. I think that in this economic climate, money is one of the major things that people will choose to fight about. Money does make the world go round and everyone needs it, and it can be very stressful when the two members of a couple can have such different ideas with regards to what to do about money and what shouldn't be done.

Two parties fight simply because they have both positive and negative ideas...

I think partners fight most about accusing one another of cheating.

Money. Jealousy. These are the common reasons why couples fight. To patch things up, couples must talk things through and come up with solutions to their problems. In doing so, they'll know what to do and what to avoid the next time around.
