Re: What do you and H argue over?

  • We don't argue very much at all. When we do it's when I have to tell him something's a problem like 8 times before he actually does something about it (like when he's been sick for weeks and won't call the doctor, or his gas gauge has been broken on his car for a year and he hasn't taken it in, etc...).

    Stuff with the kids. We have different opinions about how to handle certain issues, e.g. Bedtime and sleep problems, and it's difficult to compromise when you each think that your idea is what's best for the kids.

  • Same as spin.  I'm more of an AP/gentle parenting parent, and he's a little more tough.

    Also, he's ALWAYS running late for everything, and he puts off his chores.  I end up nagging :-/

  • We really don't argue much.  I am a procrastinator and he is Type A so sometimes he gets annoyed that I wait to pay a bill or send a thank you when he would do it immediately.Sometimes we have heated fights about going to visit my family (he always sulks about driving the hour) - this happens during the summer only because my parents have a resort style backyard with pool and hot tub and I want to be there every weekend, and he would rather just go once a month or something.  We compromise by me leaving his ass home!  It used to make me upset but now I don't mind at all!

  • We don't really fight, but I nag him over certain things. Like when he doesn't clean up the sink after he uses it (he leaves toothpaste water marks all over it) or when he just leaves clothes all over the floor or the hope chest. Either put it away, or I will just wash it all.

  • We rarely argue. When we do, it's usually because we're stressed about something (money/family/etc) and we take it out on each other. We never stay angry though.

  • Mostly clutter. I will keep my stuff organized until I notice his clutter, then I give up. Typically this is when he will pick his up, and complain about mine. Haha.

    You would think I would learn.

  • Like @zamboni00 clutter.
    H grew up in a very unkempt house, and I grew up in a home that was very clean and organized.  Clutter makes me edgy and he knows that.  I'm always trying to convince him to get rid of things or organize them.

  • We're like @islandmonkey8‌. We rarely argue and typically it's just that we're taking out stress on each other. We actually have argued about buying a house because the finances stress us both out but at different times so it ends up being the same argument, just a few days later when the other has had time to process his/her emotions about it.
  • And I just realized that while I was lurking I posted on GPMoms. Sorry about that!!

    Uh, don't apologize! Post away - it's all good!

     

    Back in the day DH and I could have some major disagreements, but since we've been married, we just don't fight very often and I can't remember the last major one.  Usually it is me bitching at him for being lazy with cleaning up after himself and me feeling like all I do is tidy up after him, the babe, and the dog.

  • like @islandmonkey8, we don't really argue. It's more when stress bubbles up and we don't process it appropriately and end up taking it out on each other in little comments or a snippy tone of voice.

  • We very rarely argue, I honestly can't remember the last time we had a fight or even decent argument. We are on the same page for most parenting choices and if we aren't, we just talk them out. We do occasionally get irritated with each other, but that lasts about 10 seconds. Mostly it's me getting irritated with him leaving his clothes everywhere. ;)

  • Ha! Depending on the day we can turn anything into an argument.

  • He nit picks about everything to deal with it I just ignore him. Then we both get annoyed at each other. It's usually not a big deal but on the rare occasion it blows up that's why.

  • Our biggest argument is over his phone. He is CONSTANTLY on it and I am constantly asking him to put it away. It really pisses me off when we are out to dinner and he can't even talk to me for 30 minutes without whipping it out. We went on a cruise a couple of years ago and I loved that he couldn't be on his phone at all.

    We actually get along very well for the most part, but that is what we are constantly fighting about.

    This describes us pretty well too.
