What's the most common issue you and your partner always argue about?

Money would probably be the biggest thing for my husband and I as well. Usually we both work full-time, and yet still come up short because we're in a lot of debt, we both have a lot of health problems, and so we just never have enough. Even though neither of us is really bad about spending money wastefully, we argue about money because I want to lay everything out and look at it and decide what to do together, and he just doesn't want to talk about it because it makes him feel bad about himself. So we argue about money just because we have different ways of trying to fix our money problems.

We don't fight over anything specific. Ours is usually petty stuff. We don't argue about money unless its absolutely necessary. But that rarely happens.

My wife and I bought our first house just about 4 years ago. That's wherein our problem lies. HAHAHA! Anyhow it's a houdse built in the early 50's. It's still got the original windows which are garbage. Now she wants central air conditioning but doesn't want new windows. the central air is cheaper than new windows she says. Well the electric bill will be sky high with all the cool air escaping out the garbage windows. She refinanced without consulting me to get rid of an ARM. If I had known this prior to signing the final papers I would have added 10 grand to the refinance total for new windows. That would have only added maybe $75 more to our payements. This argument won't end until we get both the new windows and central air. But we both live with it as it is. No big arguments about it so things are cool. We did get one new window as the wood was rotten and was actually falling apart. HAHAHA! HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

We usually argue about financial issues. He is like your partner. He likes to spend more money than he needs. I think I have got him to stop doing this so much in the 2 years that we've been together. I like to spend money too but I know that the bills come first and we need to save some for things that may happen in the future.

For my boyfriend and I, it's usually time commitment issues. We often argue about how much time we should spend with each others family, how much time we get to be alone, and what we do with our spare time. It can get really tiring because if we spend all our time running around to family parties, and doing errands for them, it can get really stressful for us.

Hi soulgirl! We argue on work issues. My hubby is a free lance artist and designer. He is very lenient on his professional fee, he is usually is very lenient on the payments by his clients. There are some clients of his who still owe him money for years now and I think he is being taken advantage of these people. They use his designs and they already profitted from the designs but would not pay him in full and then my hubby expect me to tighten my budget. But now I just let him be because soon he will be fed up from these people too. Take care and have a nice day!

We mostly argue about his mother. Not that she doesn't bother him, too, it's just that he just puts up with it, and he expects me to just put up with it too, and I can't. I try but I just can't imagine the next few decades of my life putting up with someone who wants to take over my life and thinks that only she knows the way we should do things, and that we won't be happy unless we do things her way. And if we don't do things her way, she cries, and asks her friends what she did wrong to make us hate her. We don't have any money. Thus, nothing to argue about.

we dont argue necessarily, but money is defintely a worry for both of us... but in the past i have been in your shoes as well!! but now he knows we have no money to spend!!
