Okay, so basically I've been going out with this amazing girl for 8 months. I'm sure I love her and want to be with her, but problem is, we keep fighting! We've been fighting non-stop for about 5months. We fight all day and it's starting to really depress me! Then, when we're finished fighting, we fight about us fighting. I try and not fight back but I have SERIOUS stress problems and sometimes I just can't help myself...
I really want to be with her but I just don't know how to stop this constant fighting!

btw, We never fight in person. We're pperfectly happy then. It's only really via text/ phone...

Fighting is part of a normal relationship (unless its violent) Your going to disagree on things, aslong as your happy in person then I really dont think its that much of a problem.

Great advice KGTM. Rep +. Fighting is part of a relationship but if you don't want to fight you can just stand up and walk out of the room until your girlfriend cools down.

theres a point when the fighting overtakes the happyness and the relationship stops being worth it...

Occasionally, couples will argue. My advice would be to, one day, surprise her with a present or something thoughtful and tell her how much you love her. Ideally, make the gift somehting unforgettable, such as a ring which, every time your girlfriend looks at, will make her remember how much you love her. Hopefully this will lower your chances of breaking up in a major arguement, and will also make you have less of them.

Who said fighting is a part of any relationship? Where'd you hear that?

People disagree about things, sure. But "Fight"? If it's that intense, and that frequent, what you have isn't a relationship anymore. You've got a problem. And a big one.

Two thoughts here. If you 'Fight" on the phone or texting, then don't do those things anymore. Remove the medium and see if the fights stop. A 'True' disagreement will just make it's presence known elsewhere. If it doesn't the fix was easy. If not...........

.......all that "Fighting" might indicate that you've outgrown eachother and you're hanging on, maybe to what you once had, maybe because you don;t want to be alone. But, relationships are supposed to be fun, if they're not, and you cannot make it that way, it's best to say good bye.
