At what point in your marriage or relationship did you argue most?

Was it when you were dating, in a commited relationship, newlyweds? They say that year 2-4 are times that you argue or disagree most with your partner and I say that's true for my relationship, why do you think so and what were the most argumentive times in your relationships? What kind of issues effected your marriage or relationship most and have you overcome them or is it still an ongoing issue?

I asked this yesterday, but just would like a bigger response.

Thanks. ;]

    Our most argumentative times were in the early years of raising children, about five to ten years into our marriage. The children themsleves add a huge layer of responsibility and it becomes hard to manage all kinds of issues. We argued about money, sex, free time, where we would live in the future, her career, chores and all kinds of other things.

    We have overcome them. People learn to quit wanting the world to shower them with fun and joy all the time, and learn to accept each other for who they are and enjoy the simpler things. Now, as my boys are soon to graduate and move on to college, we are very proud of everything and only a little concerned about empty nest syndrome.

    I've never stopped to think did we argue more in what year. We've been married for 4 years, together for 6. We fight more in the summer than any other time. He wants to go to races and hang out with the guys after work, while I wish he'd do stuff with us (2 kids) and maybe take one of them to a race instead of his friends. So technically its still an ongoing issue with us, but he understands where I'm coming from, and I get the need to be around adults too (i'm a stay at home mom). The only other issue we have had the entire time is raising the kids, but thats going to happen regardless cause we were raised in different ways.

    I just remembered something, when we were together for a little over a year a friend told me if we argued that much then that we wouldn't make it for 5 years. She was wrong. I guess it had a lot to do with becoming a couple and a family

    We argued more in the beginning. The first 2 or 3 years. It was always stupid stuff. Just getting used to being together 24-7. I have been married for 13 years now and we really do not fight. I can only think of one in the last 5 or 6 years. We were engaged for 4 years before we got married.

    Well me and my boyfriend have been together for over five years and the first couple I can not remember fighting at all with him. After that though I would say the third or fourth year we started fighting a lot! I mean over the stupidest things. We also moved in together around that time too. We are better now we talked things through and made sure that we thought about things before we get upset over them. The big issue that we had was that my boyfriend promised to stop smoking and he started lying about it and smoking behind my back. It was a problem for a while but then I decided that he was more important to me then getting him to quit and he has cut down on the smoking to as a compromise.

    Years 2-4 were the big clenchers for my ex and I. We fought mostly about money and personal space. This is no longer ongoing because towards the end of year 4 I found out that he had been cheating on me with his personal space.

    I am since remarried. We're in year one, the honeymoon stage, we have yet to have an arguement. At this point in the relationship with my ex we had fought so many times that we shouldn't have stayed together.

    Hope I answered your questions.

    I have been married for a little over 5 1/2 years. We have never had a pattern of arguing. In all that time we have never had a single fight . There have been minor disagreements but we use compromise and effective communication.

    The truth is you have to grow up........and quit picking about things that make no sense. The first 5 years are the toughest.....but it will work out if you both work at it.........Don,t hurt each others feelings..........that's the bad one.....and you know what they are..........so help each other through those moments or get out of the road, and go do something else. And if I had to do it again I would stay away from wild part'ys...the booze and marriage's does not work......bad for all....... All the best to you. May you find it

    We have been married 29 years and have never argued very much. The most was few years ago, then I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and it kind of put things into perspective. Most things are not worth arguing about.

    My Fiance and I have been together for 3yrs, and we have a 11month old. The times we argued most were toward the end of my pregnancy, 6-8month period.

    Why- I was worried about $$$

    & because he didn't stand up for me when his sisters stole my things.

    And thats pretty much it, money is what we argue most about.

    oh oh....almost forgot...also if i ask him for something and he doesn't want to do it or never does it ex..like being more romantic.
