Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses?

True or false?

Maybe you lose the formality you once used to have and now it’s easier to snap at smaller things?

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

Familiarity breeds contempt? It could even be that with time you develop greater tolerance as you grow used to one another's habits.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

With time you learn the rules, do’s and dont’s of fighting with spouse. You learn exactly how far can you take any argument before it will get out of hand so its easy to test limits :slight_smile:

Its easy when you know the rules

:chai:

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

Might be true to some extent.But then as the relationship grows and matures so do you and you kinda start accepting smaller flaws because everyone has them.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

Why is it the opposite for me? :bummer:

Seriously, I notice we both snap at smaller things, and that we lost the patience we once used to have. I guess we’re probably immune to it considering we’ve been together for years and disagree about small things which escalade into bigger things.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

Yes...but I don't think it's necessarily "easier". As a relationship progresses....people become more comfortable with one another and pass the intitial stages of being on their "good behavior" to impress the other person (ie. hence they're more willing to share their true thoughts/views). Also, there are more issues that come up for discussion which leads to more opportunities for the parties to disagree.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

small things create big fuss in relationship. ignore small things and give some space and then ask favor on big stuff is good way to avoid such situation. you can also let him know that at that time you did compromise, and now you want this particular thing should be happen according to your way.

my another thought is related to flexibility. if you guys have spend more than year and in my opinion is it is enough time to understand each other. you can understand when your SO is turned off(i mean you have enough intelligence to predict the behavior of your SO).

Did you also open "gali gloch in house hold thread" ?

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

No.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

Do you like "gali gloch in the house hold" ?

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

WTH? No, I’m strictly against it.

Flexibility is exactly what I’m referring to. Maybe it only happened w/ me but I feel like my patience (which was ZERO before) grew much much more while his just became non-existent. I guess we’re out of our “honeymoon” stage and he has no reason to impress me now so flexibility went out the window. :bummer:

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

ok. can you change your behavior and no fighting on small thing, lets say for few days. i think SO will notice it and ask you what did happen, why arent you fighting/etc?

if that is the case then its mean he is at least paying attention and caring you.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

^lol, obviously I don't fight over small things. That's what I meant by my patience and tolerance level grew a lot over the last few years.

Meh, I'm kinda' over this now, tbh. Let's see what happens.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

true...before i used to fight a lot and he used to keep quiet or say sorry..but now he also fights equally and never says sorry...

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

That or you lose the desire to compromise and be flexible.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

Ditto. And at first I thought it was a good thing because it helped me get off my high horse and snap out of my moody-nakhreli self but now it's gotten to the point where not only did the point he want to me make is clear, it also overstayed its welcome and frankly, I'm just feeling distant and like it's all a waste of time.

Meh.

Yup, this exactly. Uber-depressing if you think about it.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

That's why everyone should become a nun.

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

that's y its said that in the end only wife has to compromise..

Re: Does anyone else notice it becomes easier to fight as the relationship progresses

Yeah, except I don’t believe in that. In a healthy relationship, BOTH of them have to reach a point where they put in equal effort, try as hard they can to make it work and compromise to the best of their abilities. You have to live your whole life together, you can’t spend your entire life bending backwards for a man who wouldn’t do the same for you, or at least who pretended to do until he…“trapped” you. :halo:
