What are issues you see couples (maybe your own relationship) wrangling with each other over that you never had considered before?

Asked by hungryhungryhortence (12176points) April 13th, 2009

examples:
* I never thought I’d be arguing with a partner over bringing relatives to live with us

* a co worker is arguing with his wife whether or not to put their daughter in daycare; he feels less secure than when it was with their boys.

My parents argue about dinner, even though they don’t eat together.

We don’t argue. That was a surprise.

Drying dishes with a hand towel (him) versus paper towels (me). Stupid, but infuriating nonetheless.

Having the windows down in the car. I can’t stand to be cold, but my husband is always hot. It can be frustrating, but definitely silly.

Making a decision. What movie do you want to watch? Who’s going to call for Chinese delivery? Who’s going to drive? What toppings do you want on the pizza?

We always say to each other “Whatever you want, I don’t care.” The argument begins!

@jonsblond ahhh! i hate “whatever you want, I don’t care.”!!! I know I’m guilty of it, and so is my husband.

@casheroo I don’t know why I even bother to ask him. I already know the answer! :P

When I married my second husband I never imagined he would not totally adore my kids as much as I did. He loves them (more now that their grown) but It was tough because his approach was so different than my expectation.

Whether or not “sexting” an acquaintance is harmless or innocent.

Different ways of expressing love, like one does it through time spent and deeds while the other wants physical intimacy and words.
