A lot of times, you'll go through a tough phase where the fighting is constant and you'll be fighting about everything and at times you won't even remember how the arguement got started.
What can help sometimes is taking time apart. When you spend a lot of time with someone, you start to get on each other's nerves.
You should also try changing the way you fight. When something bothers you, start out like this, "I felt ______ when you________" That way he'll know what exactly bothered you and how it made you feel. It's easier and he won't feel threatened or angry when you yell. If you find that Alex is not taking your feelings seriously when you say something along those lines calmly, then you should go home or hang up the phone with him. That way, he'll know that the only way he's getting your attention is if he's calm too, not angry and yelling.
If you feel like the fights are about something extreme and not just little things, then you have to decide whether that extreme thing is going to get in the way of the both of you being together. If it is, then maybe it's time to call it quits.

it seems that the magic is lost,
and communication is the key,
and if you cant communicate there is no relationship.
Or write him a letter, explaining things,
and how since you guys are always fighting its not going to wokrk out.
Christeena answered Sunday June 11 2006, 1:47 pm: It's possible you need a break from this relationship to sort things out and clear your head, which could help stop the fighting. Especially if he is not listening to you when you try and talk to him about it, it could be a serious reality check for him if you tell him you wanna take a break.
So either, break it off for now or try talking to him again, without fighting.
The one thing you need to remember is that not everyone who decides to "take a break" does not always get back together, despite everything. Just a risk to keep in mind. [ Christeena's advice column | Ask Christeena A Question ]
