i know my bf loves me, but he's always getting mad at me, things always escalate into fights all the time!and they arise out of nothing! it;s like he gets mad, then realizes there's nothing to be mad at, then he LOOKS for something to get mad at that happens during the stupid fight, then as soon as i say something that he doesn;t like, he turns THAT into the thing he's going to get mad at me for. It drives me nuts. How can I get through to him? How can I avoid these stupid arguments? What can I do so he'll see that all this fighting has no purpose? that he is in control, as much as me, and he has a choice of how he wants to act, so he doesn't have to choose to be mad, why can't he be nice?

loverly answered Thursday April 27 2006, 11:57 pm: hmm... i think we are in the same relationship. My ex-boyfriend and I were the exact same way and I actually broke up with him because of it.... I am NOT suggesting this. I actually regret doing it because I think we could have worked things out in the end by just taking things slower. I don't know how often you talk, but if it is everyday like I was, you should think about maybe cutting down the conversation time. That way you have more to talk about the next time you talk and you're less likely to fight about stupid things. I hope everything works out for you! Fighting is no fun.
