Random question for y'all. How do arguments with your partner go down? What happens after the fact?

When I was dating my ex, it would usually start because we would either disagree about something and he would get pissy, or he would accuse me of something and I would get defensive. In most cases, he was the aggressor. I would try my hardest to be calm and collected (and often succeeded), but there were occasions where I would finally snap and would start the name-calling or threaten to break up with him.
What's interesting to me is that when we'd have a bad argument, the next day he'd act like nothing ever happened and would get sad that I was still pissed at him. Then I'd have to remind him that I was still upset by last night/yesterday.

How's it like for you guys and your significant other or ex? Anybody similar to me?

Yeah sounds kind of familiar. turned out my friend was manipulative. not in an evil way, but just good and determined at getting what he wanted and a lot of time that started an argument. Someone had to explain this about him to me.

Sounds almost like me and my boyfriend, we've been arguing for what seems to be years but it isn't, after all the arguing I still love him and I don't see myself being with anyone else even though it's kinda hard.

Nobody said life was easy and it clearly isn't but be with the person who makes you happy (and mad )

My ex girlfriend and I would fight over silly things which mostly resulted in us not talking for a few hours. Normally we both apologised to each other, regardless of who was 'at fault'. We didn't fight that often but when we did, we both hated it.

For me it would just start with one of us being slightly annoyed, the the other would get annoyed because the other was in a bad mood, then it wuld turn into us being annoyed with each other, then stupid name calling, "skank, dick, retard, dum ass, fuck face, I fucked your face, fuck you, you already did", then we would degenerate into shouting, then things would get personal and eventually one of us would say something too personal and genuinly upset the other, then we would say sorry, hug and just cuddle for a while.

However with my last GF we never actually argued, even when things got difficult and complex, we managed to keep our cool. Ive only ever argued with the ones before Yazz

It usually stemmed from something I did or didn't do, or something I said. It would upset him or hurt him or he wouldn't agree with it and next thing you know we would be arguing.

I hate fighting with my boyfriend. I would always try to pull away and I never wanted to talk about things but he's so sweet, he would always talk things through.
