What do you fight about?
 

What are some of the craziest things that you and your significant other fight or argue about? Things that you know don't make any sense to argue about. My boyfriend and I never argue and whenever I try to pick a fight with him he will either do something to make me forget I want to argue ;) or start telling jokes to make me laugh. Either way, we never argue and I want to just so that we can kiss and make up.

Wow, this could be a very long list. I am going to have to remember some of the recent arguments. People say that we argue like an old married couple. We do argue a lot, but it's never that serious. We have had some serious fights that started out so innocently.

Fights have started over:

Whether or not children should say "ma'am" and "sir" (seems kind of ridiculous now since neither one of us is anywhere close to seriously considering child rearing)

The sleep timer on the TV

A pair of sweatpants on the floor (he started this one, not me)

A sleeveless purple DKNY sweater

I'll have to try to remember all of them because almost al of our fights start out as something stupid.

OMG you too????

The air conditioner. I can't sleep with it on. I'll catch a cold. I'm hoarse right now because of of that dang thing.

Fried shrimp. If we cook it he THINKS he can have like 15 pcs and I have 5. Um.....no. Two grown azz folks fighting over food.

-The air conditioner
-lights-He never turns them off when he leaves a room
-our dogs eating habits-He wants her to be really big but she already weighs 50 pounds
-him leaving the shower curtain open
-what we are having for dinner

My hunny and I have been together 5.5 years, so I got a few:

* His leaving his dirty socks on the floor
* My need to clean up every little mess in the house
* My "borrowing" his wifebeaters, socks, boxers, t-shirts...:D and making them my nightclothes
* His not cleaning up the kitchen right (he will put dishes in the dishwasher, but won't start it or wipe the counters)
* My using his hairbrush and leaving hair in it
* My taking too much time to get ready in the morning
* Car (when I had a car and we were sharing he would want to put speakers, tint and extra crap on it--I didn't need all that)
*Pets
*Air conditioner (I see some of you have that problem too)

That's funny, cause my parents made us say "Sir" and "Ma'am" when we were growing up....

My hubby and I have fought over:

the right way to load a dish washer
if it is proper to say "mash" when talking about buttons --i.e. mash the enter key on keyboard (he says you should say "press" I say get over it! :rolleyes: )
his driving skills
MONEY
when to cut the grass
what "in a minute" means (i.e. I will do so and so in a minute, or I will be ready in a minute)
If a joke was really funny
What to watch on TV
Who had the most deprived childhood
Who's the most spoiled
who has the craziest sister
politics
the state of Black America
Black colleges
If Spelman is an elitist institution
Corruption in college sports
Referee calls in football or basketball
him getting something to eat right after I cleaned the kitchen
me leaving the lights on
who's going to get out of bed to turn the lights off if both of us were reading with the overhead light on
which family member of mine could beat up which family member of his (now you know Ray Ray would kick your cousin Lamar's behind!)



I could go on and on, but you get the picture..... WE are both pretty opinionated and love a good debate. We used to entertain one of my aunts on a regular basis who would bring on controversial topics just to get us going!

SW14, if you want to have a good arguement you have to be FOCUSED girl, don't let that man distract you! Plus, you have to learn how to laugh and argue at the same time. Those are the best fights! LOL

Make up sex....ahhhhh..... :D

The air conditioner/fan combo (tryin to freeze me to death)

Money

Refilling the water pitcher

Drinkin all the kool-aid and not makin more

PUTTING TISSUE ON THE ROLL WHEN YOU'VE USED THE LAST

Ummmmmmmmmm Eclipse. . . you know how I felt about LadyGreek using "bad" words, well YOU AND THE MAKE UP SEX is the same daggone thing!!! :eek: :o :eek: :o :eek: :o

We fight over this all the time girl I got some theories about that small little town our men are from!

Other things my husband and I fight over

Money
Putting something to drink back with a corner left.
Grooming our son, changing shorts is not being ready for the day.
His friends (just one in particular)
Going out, two different ideas of fun.
Downloading all kinds of songs and movies onto the computer.
Him going to church.......ughhhh! Get with the program EVERY Sunday!

:mad:

AMEN!!! My boyfriend goes from ESPN->ESPN2->ESPN NEWS-> FOX SPORTS. I don't understand.

Other things we argue about:

Who drives where

My computer usage :o

His gassiness (men can be so downright NASTY!!:mad:)

Grocery Shopping (I go to shop for FOOD, he shops for SNACKS)

Hey! I'm a married woman! I can have sex! he he he :D

**screaming** MY EYES!! MY EYES!! my Fricking EEEEEEYES!!!

Dang for a minute I thought we were married to the same man....LOL...

We also argue over "the kids" and him babysitting his own kids. But I don't understand how you babysit YOU OWN kids! Please!:rolleyes:

Proper spending habits
Wet bathmats
The effectiveness of FAMU SGA

I could go on and on

Re: I have more
 

That crap drives me nuts too!!! Maybe it's some sort of male code to do things that drive us insane!

I try to stay focused, but boyfriend is just too much! Just looking at him makes me lose focus and Lord knows if he breathe on me all thoughts of an argument are out of the window! I'm so darn weak.

Even though we never really argue we have had interesting debates about some things like...

Why he won't give me a piece of his turkey bacon. He'll cook breakfast and ask me how much I want. I'll say three and he'll fix me just that. I'll eat all three pieces and start looking at the ten that he has left, but won't give me since all I said I wanted was three.

This ugly NY Yankees baseball shirt that he always want to wear when we go out.

A pair of my shoes that he had the nerve to call ugly! I do not own an ugly pair of shoes.

Me taking too long (in his opinion) to get ready to go out. He will sit on the bed not even halfway dressed and rush me to get ready. That use irritate the heck out of me, but now I just ignore him.

It's all really funny, because he hardly ever do anything to cause me to get mad at him so if I do happen to raise my voice over something or use foul language directed towards him, he'll look all shocked and appalled. That's usually when I start cracking up. We just have too much fun together I guess. I hope things are always like this. I love him. Sorry for getting all mushy and girlie on y'all. :D

MONEY!!!!...ok I do like to shop......

My male friends....knew them before you.....

Is being in a sorority really that serious....YES!!!!!

Church....PLEASE can you go inside one before they ready to bury you....

Is it necessary to start a stopwatch if I say I'll call you back in a minute.....dang man I'm busy sometimes........

Cooking.....I'm not really fond of it....what's the difference as long as we eat........

Dishes.....yes ALL the dishes need to be washed before we go to bed....

GC....yes I have to at least browse the boards almost everyday...yes...its that interesting.........

I could go on but why bother....:rolleyes:

My spankin brand new hubby and I love to tell each other what to do/ argue. It will get so bad that we end up play fighting, giggling(me)/ laughing and out of breath. He thinks because he has 4years on me that he knows everything thing. Ummmm NO! So this leads us to fight about:
1. What is "good" music
2. What is the difference between being country and southern (I know what you are thinking..."Are you for real". It's sad but true...this might get somebody hurt in our house"
3. What are we going to eat? (When "expecting" you want everything and nothing all at once... he just doesn't understand that...)
4. My love for my Sorority (I shut him down on this every time!)
5. Who is the laziest
6. Who is the darkest ( yep i said it...)
7. Putting the toliet seat down ( HOW HARD IS THIS?!?!?)
8. Watching The View
9. My driving
10. His age (lol! He's my old geezer...but I love him)

For the Men
 

1. The Alarm Clock (If it goes off at 6:45 am or 7:30 am it seems you always get up at 7:30 anyway!)

2. TV (You have this movie on DVD, tape and have seen the episode 300 times and know the whole show word for word why can't we watch the news or sports event for the first time today?)

3. How we cook dinner (Sure we are open to ideas but ummm if you want something someway please cook it yourself or sit and enjoy what we make LOL
:p )

4. 4 am in the morning conversations on how you feel. (we get home at 6 or 7 and then you wanna discuss something while we are asleep?) :confused:

Re: For the Men
 

Oh give me a break...LOL!

Re: For the Men
 

I bet you don't complain when you wanna have those "other" 4 am in the morning conversations. :p :p

Re: Re: For the Men
 

LOL @ Soror! What you did not deny it LOL!!!! :p :p :p

Re: For the Men
 

This sounds EXACTLY like my boyfriend. But why watch the 6 PM Sportscenter, whatever game is on, the 11 PM Sportscenter, and then want to watch ESPN News for updates. :rolleyes:

Re: Re: For the Men
 

LOL then he ODs! LOL This is a fun thread.

Re: Re: Re: For the Men
 

Yes, he is an ESPN addict! Then he wonders why I'm on GC all the time.:D

Re: Re: Re: Re: For the Men
 

If I had a man, I'd love him to be an ESPN addict. I'd be right there with him.:D

Re: Re: Re: For the Men
 

Okay, I'll break this down for you:

1. The Alarm Clock...it goes off at 5:30 and YOU push the snooze button every five minutes for an hour. At 6:30 you jump up making all types of noise because YOU are about to be late for work. The clock went off at 5:30!!! Get your lazy butt up! And don't turn on all the lights in the room because I don't have to be at work until 9 AM.

2. TV...if you don't like what we are watching GO IN ANOTHER ROOM!!! Who cares if that tv is bigger and has surround sound. You don't need all that to watch the news. Take your aggrivating behind in the bedroom because more than likely we were there first.

3. How you cook...chances are that you don't often do it so chances are that we won't complain when you do. Now if you're doing some outlandish mess like putting hot sauce in the grits you should very well expect us to say something. We don't want heartburn or diarrhea because YOU decided to experiment. And how many times have we heard you say "My momma doesn't make it like that"? Well guess what, if you don't like it my way go to your mommas house (lol).

4. 4 AM conversations...that's the only time we have to talk. You get home at 6 or 7, eat dinner and turn on the television. You watch the game and then the news. You turn to ESPN to see the highlights of the very same game that you just finished watching (you already know what happened so what's the point of this?). If we're lucky you might give us some loving that's worthy of putting a sista to sleep :D. If it's not that good we can't talk immediately afterwards because you are the ones who are in a coma. We wake up at 4 am after being unsatisfied and frustrated most of the night so of coarse we want to talk and get some things off our chest. Besides we are only helping you out since the alarm clock is going to go off at 5:30 anyway :).

So you see, my dear Sphinxpoet...we always have valid reasons for doing the things we do :D

Re: Re: Re: Re: For the Men
 

Okay!!! Does he need to wonder any more? ;) ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: For the Men
 

LOL of course I do! As long as men and men and women are women it will always make illogical sense to the other sex. ie Television, men are addicted to certain things that women are but just on different levels. We all OD on something. Men will never understand women cause we think ya crazy and any way you slice the logic it makes no sense to me and women will always think men are crazy no matter how we slice the logic. ie if your man watches So much sports ask him why he does all of that and he will probably give you a logical response. I may watch 1 - 2 NY Mets games a week but that does not make me an addict does it? But every relationship I have been in every woman says you watch too much baseball. How is that so when every other time we watch what you want? Baseball on the average has 6 games per week per team! Hmmmmm..........:p But seriously that is just it we are both CRAZY!!!!!!!!

Where are the other brothers at? You need reinforcement ;) ;)

Unlike a lot of Brothers I believe the only way men and women are going to start understanding is by debating without disrespecting and sometimes I speak from what other Brothers are afraid to say. :)

Well then your ALL the brother we need :D :D !

Re: Re: Re: For the Men
 

I'm glad somebody agrees with me. Sphinxpoet has yet to answer my comment. :p :p

I was about to start a new post. Good thing I searched first...

Lately, we have been arguing about some ridiculous things like:

1. Not getting the mail - if you get home before me, how hard is it to bring the mail in from the box?

2. Late night meals - if you get home late from work or are up late watching tv, DO NOT ask me to get up from my slumber and cook chicken, pasta, or anything else that takes more than 2 minutes. You need to get a snack (i.e. ice cream, crackers, or a drink)

3. Turning the heat ALL the way up - I know it's cold outside and you want it to warm up in a hurry, but turning the heat up to 90 degrees is not the way to make this happen. You see, eventually, the temperature is actually going to reach that 90 degree mark.

we got into fights over
*taking a shower... he wanted me to take one with him I didnt want to because I had just taken a shower 10 minutes before he came in the house and I wasn't trying to waste any lotion lol

*sports center... can I turn on a tv without it being on ESPN

* what I was listening to on MY radio in MY car

*my shopping... if we are not married and you are not footing the bill should it matter if I payed $20 or $200 for shoes that will be on my feet

Exactly...anyone who rolls in my car is tunes in the station KKabaici...do not trip!!!

-- The toilet seat, why does it have to be down? oh - a convience for you. s--t just look before u squat.

--monday nite football--, look monday is only one day out of the week. there is no tuesday or thurday nite football, and , yes i do know that the players can't hear me, and they probaly are not a bunch of stupid non football playing sissys, but yes some times they do play like a bunch of girls. :eek: :eek:

--Shopping-- no i will not go grocery shopping-- shoe shopping-- to the mall-- to walmart -- to the out lets -- to hollywood video -- to macys -- to diilards-- with you because, despite what you and your girls have come to believe, shopping is not an eight hr adventure. now i will bite the bullet and go with you to Vicky's secret, or to Freddys of Hollywood.
:D :rolleyes: :D ;) :D

--- xbox-- if the known universe needs to be kept safe for the human race and i'm the only help the Master chief has, then yes i must stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning. :mad:

-- slamming doors -- you don't have to slam the kitchen drawers-- cabinets-- car door-- front door -- bedrm door-- bathrm door-- closet door... ... they will close if you just push them

-- come to bed--- may be i'm not sleepy and that's why i'm not comeing to bed. you are sleepy and that's why you're going to bed --- hmmm on second thought maybe i'm ready to cum to bed, sinceyou want to wear that little.. that very little blue thingy from Fredy's of hollywood. :D
