my girlfriend and I have been seeing each other for more than a year now. at first our relationship was the typical lovey dovey stuff you see with new relationships but as time went on that lovey dovey relationship changed. we both love each other with every fiber of our beings, but now we argue way more than we did at the beginning of our relationship. im not complaining nor am i grumbling about the situation. the way i see it, if you love someone enough you learn to work through your problems. i was just a bit curious to see if anyone elses relatioships went through this or are going through the sam thing.any helpfull advice is greatly appreciated as well.

I think that every relationship goes through peaks and valleys. Its best if you think of them as growing pains. I suggest to stop the fighting that you two do some stuff seperately. For example, go see a movie just with guy friends. Creating seperate lives outside the relationship helps it grow. Every several months my fiancee and I hit a rough patch just like this and we have been dating for over three years.
Also, a good way to work constructively on your relationship is to take a weekend away. Go on a roadtrip to a fun place it will help you forget all of your troubles. As long as you remember you still love her you'll be okay:)

OHMIGOD!! This sounds like me and mine. We argue all the time but just cant seem to let each other go. We may get along for about 3 days out of a week and the rest we are at each others throats or not speaking to one another. Sometimes I wonder what I ever saw in the man and other times, I know what it was but cant really answer it. I guess its just one of those cases where you cant live with them and cant live without them.

Love really is a funny thing isn't it. I love my girlfriend so much and at the same time I hate how she behaves or some of the things she does. It's a give and take relationship but I'm willing to give. I'm no stranger to getting the short end of the stick when it comes to relationships and I know sometimes its part of the territory. I just wish sometimes it were easier for us to communicate things. All in all, I say my relationship is sailing along fairly well. There are times when the waters get a little rough but after its all said and done, we come out better people for "ROUGHING IT OUT". Thanks for the feed back guys.

Love is funny thing. At first we see the outer appearances.
we get attracted to each other. As time passes we will come to know ones inner qualities which we may like it or not. And then familiarity breeds contempt. So we argue and argue.
One should be patient and try to understand each other. If you truly love you will over come the problem and live happily.

Hi ghostking684,
Why don't you adjust with her. Is your ego is playing any game.Keep the ego away and start adjusting your self to ensure the relationship grow. You have to sacrifice certain things if you want the relationship to be strong.Once you do this automatically your girlfriend will also start adjusting with you. Then both can be happy. Take the initiative if your love is true.
In case, if inspite of all your sacrificing and adjustments if she is not able to adjust with you, I feel you are lucky...because you can part with her now itself.If things go wrong after marriage it will become hell for you even if you want to leave her.
Think carefully,
Good Luck.

Yes I think most relationships turn out that way, or at least mine do. It's because as your relationship progresses, your expectations from each other get higher and higher. If those expectations are not met, you feel frustration. But as you said, if you love each other you should be able to work out those problems.
