Arguments / Fighting -
Personal Advice from RomanceClass
It's funny how pervasive arguments and fighting can become. You almost begin to think of them as "normal". It's only when you find a person truly meant for you - one where you never argue or yell at all - that you wonder how you ever survived the stress of daily fighting.
Regardless of what you see on sitcom TV, a healthy relationship does NOT involve constant yelling or fighting. A healthy relationship involves two people who respect each other, and who talk about problems when they occur.

Work to fix the problem now - before the relationship disintegrates.
