How much fighting is OK in a relationship?
Dear Michael, How much arguing is OK in a relationship? Sometimes I think I’d like to spend the rest of my life with my boyfriend Adam but other times he drives me absolutely crazy.
We get into these fights where he just refuses to see it my way. He insists he’s right and digs in until I agree he has a point.
He can never just agree with me or let it go. The thing is, he doesn’t always have a point and if I won’t concede that he does, he says I don’t respect his intelligence.
Our fights range from Madonna’s talent (or lack thereof) to what is or isn’t OK to eat for breakfast, to whose job it is to take out the garbage, to what the best abs exercises are, to where we should go on vacation this summer, to whether recycling plastics accomplishes anything, to whether we should have sex in the morning or at night.
