so i`ve been dating my boyfriend since july 4th of last year, so it`s almost 1 year.
i love him alot, but we fight ALOT. is that normal? we fight over stupid things and both get pissed off super easy, and it really makes me so mad sometimes. i don`t know how much of the fighting i can take, but i don`t want to break up with him. i`ve talked to hima bout it, but he thinks we`re fine. he knows i hate it, but neither of us can help getting mad.

you have to remember that you love him. and weather you guys liek it or not fighting can hurt a relationship. try to compromise. maybe thats the problem? that you guys have different perspective about things. just remember you love him and you wouldnt want to ruin something beautiful.
i say sit him down and tell him you love him and that you hate fighting wit him. try to compromise something out. maybe when some says something that the other thinks differently,you can just respect each others oppinion. maybe just ignore anyhting mean the other says or talk it out before you feel youre about to start fighting again.
love is something really speacial so you wouldnt want to mess it up just because you guys cant compormise. think about it. its not worth it. [ blackluna7111's advice column | Ask blackluna7111 A Question ]
kiran answered Monday July 9 2007, 8:51 pm: It is true that fighting alot can cause stress and can really bother you but sometimes its true that fighting can help you. Fighting isn't really a good thing like you actually want it to happen. But yes it is normal when you guys fight. You love him? But he thinks you guys are fine. So it shouldn't be much of a problem unless he hates you. Do you guys spend every moment together? Well if you do you guys should hang out with friends seperately so you can have your space and it will ease you off a bit. I'm not saying you should break up because you both love each other. But just saying there are other things to think of too. Just try to get away for a little bit and have some fun. But good luck for you and I hope everything goes well.

On the other hand, if you two just don't see eye to eye sometimes but you two both love each other, it could just be a rocky time for you guys. I'd say wait and see if you guys can grow out of it instead of jumping and making a big decision.

okay, you two have been together for a year. first off, congradulations on that! this would probably be easier to answer if your age were provided, but here's how i see it:
it is definitely normal for you two to fight. and it's better for it to be over the stupid things. fighting shows you're both comfortable to point out flaws in things, and you should be worried if there's NO fighting.
fighting is also a sign of maturity in your relationship, and the ability to point things out, when they're bothering you. it's ultimately a good thing, if you look at it in that perspective, but i know the feeling of a fight cannot be fun, so..
i'd say, try to be more easy going. i know, the fights cannot be all your fault, but when you feel something annoying you that he's doing, just kind of forget about it, and just give him a big hug, or just plain walk out of the room (pertend you have something to do, don't act mad). it's sometimes better to ignore the small things.. i know it will be hard, but really, try it out. if you have to, pretend you're happy, and you eventually will be. i know, it sounds horrible, but really.. try it out!!
if this seems to cause more of a problem, then, in your next fight, drop everything, and flat out ask if he thinks you two are going to be okay. really let him know what's bothering you, and dont leave anything out, or that will cause more arguements.
don't let the little things break you two up. remember to always look at the good things, and maybe let him read this, and all of the other answers you get, if you two need reassurance.
