17/f & 17/m ..okay so i've been going out with my boyfriend for over a year now and we still have stupid fights. is this normal? it seems like we can't go a few weeks without something stupid happening. and we both hate it so much but we don't know how to stop it. any suggestions? what do any of you get fights in about with your bf/gf? and how do you get through it? anything will help thanks!
Noah: Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing.
Allie: So what?
Noah: So it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.
cutesoutherner answered Wednesday May 30 2007, 1:19 am: its normal. after youve been with someone that long, its just natural. i mean think about your family and best friends.. you've been with them for ages and im sure yall have stupid little gripes & fights alot of the time right? ive been with my boyfriend for 10 months, and we used to be basically joined at the hip, but lately weve been gettin in stupid little fights. it just happens. when yall start to get tense with each other, just let it go. no matter if you think youre right or whatever, just change the subject, walk away, get off the phone, whatever. just avoid it. if its somethin you really think you need to talk about, then just do that, TALK about it. dont yell about it. as hard as it sounds, it IS possible to talk without yelling. if you dont yell or get an attitude about something, he shouldnt have a reason to either. keeping your cool will help. but the minute you raise your voice or start acting cocky, its basically instinct for the next person to do so as well. hope thats helps a little, good luck!

i went out with my boyrfriend for 10 months and we would fight about really stupid things. maybe these stupid things could be avoided like talk to him about it and tell him lets not get into thses anymore its dumb.. but as long as after the fight and during the fight he is respecting you, then you guys are both okay about it and nothing bad happens within the fight. your fine. it is perefectly normal for couples to fight. while its is happening recognize it and be like hey this is so stupid that's how i would get through it.
