What do you and DH fight about most?

islandmonkey8

Nothing really. We have arguments, but nothing specific and not often.

Time management, helping me around the house/with the baby, constantly having to remind him to do things bc he forgets or just knows ill take care of it after I have asked him 100x....i think thats it

Are we married to the same person?!

All the above, and lately - putting the damn phone down.  You are holding the baby, she's screaming, how about you PLAY WITH HER!  She's gotten so she doesn't really like H anymore because he's always on the phone or trying to get her to nap, even if she JUST WOKE UP.  She's not a newborn anymore! / rant

We don't usually fight but lately it seems like we are arguing all.the.freaking.time.

He feels like I'm constantly nagging him and being rude about  how I'm asking him to do things. I think he is being too sensitive. 

I like things a certain way. This has only been amplified by the baby. I need things to be a certain way to be able to function, particularly when he isn't around. And he goes and changes everything around. Yeah, I know, I know, my OCD is showing.

We have an ongoing beef about his failure to text me and let me know if his plans change or if he's going to be home late. Honey, you married a neurotic woman. If I don't hear from you, my brain automatically jumps to the possibility that you're dead in a ditch somewhere. Send a text. It's not that hard! He has been getting a bit better about it, though.

I hate his job, he gets home at 8:30/9 most nights, works weekends, and I'm not cool with it. He says he accepted these hours when he decided he wanted to be an attorney, and asks how I expect him to match his current salary for fewer hours. Then I say if you think I'd rather have your money than your time, that's very sad. 

And he doesn't listen to me very well. I hate that.

i forgot one

he NEVER answers the phone or texts me back, it is soooo annoying! All i want to know is if you are alive and are you going to be home in time for dinner or before I put the baby to bed?

Nope, has two phones, doesnt answer either, even his family calls me now bc they know he doesnt answer and i dont want to talk to them!!

Very similar to this. The most common usually ends up about his driving freaking me out.

It's usually dumb stuff. My favorite is when we argue because neither one of us could decide where to get dinner while we were out.

Our arguments are about him not telling me he's coming home later than expected and sometimes money.

THIS!! Pretty sure we are also married to the same person! He constantly half listens or pretends to be listening. I'm constantly annoyed I have to repeat myself several times. I also have a list a mile long of things that need to get done around the house, I'm sure he's hoping I just forget about all these things!

We don't really fight.  He gets frustrated when I ask a lot of questions (like "Why are you not replacing all the drywall?  What kind are you using?  How long will it take? etc), and that makes me upset so we just ignore each other for an hour.

We argue over stupid things, but we don't really fight.  Sometimes when we argue, we'll be mad for a little, but get over it in a little bit.  I can only think of one real fight in our relationship.

mrshall1027

Most of our arguments happen in the morning. He's not a morning person and can have an attitude which I've learned to just ignore for the most part, but sometimes I'm either too tired or just can't be the bigger person so I end up snapping back at him. These arguments are always over the stupidest things, but it comes down to how we talk to each other during the argument.
