Most of the people i have heard that where there is a love there is a fight?
i mean they say that when you love some one alot you fight alot with them? why this happens??
where as you dont want to fight too? because you both dont want to spoil your modes by fighting with each other??
then why do we fight?? do you people fight with your partners or not? and when you fight how to you say sorry?
because sorry isnt any thing after fighting?
when i fight with my girl friend i say too many things to her and some times she does too.
but after we fight we both are not feeling good for what we said or what we did.
we dont or we may say sorry to each other but why to say sorry? why dont we stop our selves from fighting??
we both know fighting is not good for our relation but still we do fight??
and some times that fighting brings closeness and some times some gaps too.
how do you people avoid all these fightings?? and how to avoid fighting when you are 100% sure that other person is wrong??
please answer me that
thanks

Well, I would say its never good to fight with anyone, lol. I always avoid fighting with anyone. If you are close to some one, there are chance you may might with him or her, but try to avoid it. As per fighting with girl friends, you definitely want to avoid it. The reason is that, fighting doesn't make anything better, in fact things gets more worst, so better safe then sorry . My advice try not to fight, even your girl friend is totally wrong, don't fight and try to explain her or do something else. but dun fight

Then you're on safe side, you can have arguments as girls always argues on little things even, So its okay. If its not a real fight then my bet is, you're on safe side.

Its not necessary that two people always think same and agree to one thing. I think its part of every relation, you love someone and fight with the same person. You fight with enemy to destry but in relation its fight of feelings or we can say thoughs. I maintain a silence to avoid fight and that works most of the time.
You may want to try silence, that is good.

I think it should not be always Win for an individual in relationship. I would choose to be defeted in relationship and that would be my win indirectly because these are temporary fights.

Fighting is good as long as it is not done everyday. Maybe a fight once a month is just fine. When I say fight I only mean light fights here not the string ones. There are some fights I consider as sweet, maybe others will understand this. These fights are those simple ones like fighting where to go, mall or somewhere else or even fighting on where or what to eat. Those are cute and sweet fights. Fights that are done intentionally are not good. Maybe we fight because one has done something wrong. Or maybe because of jealousy or any other reasons that has hurt us. If we have a problem we can't say to our partner, that triggers a fight but it also makes us realize that we should say sorry after the fight. The reason why it always happens again and again is because of our love to our partner. If we no longer say sorry, then I guess it is the end of the relationship. If we say sorry but we are not forgiven, then we just have to wait. If there is no more chance, then just face the truth. It's the end. So I guess fight is just fine as long as you know the reason, learn your lesson and most importantly never do it again.

Well, few days back I got an sms from my friend that one who loves someone fights daily...I know one thing that of course you love someone deeply but love can be so complicated as well, but what is yours is yours, even though you fights love is always alive. We had a fight too almost daily but it doesn't mean we don't love each other. The important thing is avoiding a fight, not arguing petty points about the disagreement you two have. Don't insult your opponent or become angry with them.

Even if you say so many things to her, later say Sorry to her for what you said. If she really loves you, she will forgive you and forget as well. Though it is very difficult to control our anger, but it is not impossible to control. Use "I" statements instead of "you" statements. I am frustrated because you didn't help with the housework, instead of You didn't help me with the housework. This helps in multiple ways one is your way of thinking is a bit better and you also do not upset the other person so that both parties are angry. Which of course is not a good outcome for anyone. I hope this will help you.

Lets call it, misunderstanding. couples are not of the same kind. But we tend to accept each other shortcomings because of LOVE. When she's angry, let her talk, but keep mum. Pag galit ka, masasabi mo lahat ng hindi maganda, pero, pag bati na kayo, hindi mo na mababawi pa ang mga sinabi mo. It is no return, no exchange policy. Pivotal sa relationship na si Christ ang center of the relationship. God Bless!

u can never stop fighting for one reason you are man and she is a lady.. opposite interests always come in between..but fighting is very different in talking.. u can discuss things with your girlfriend without yelling cos yelling is one sign you want a fight. start your conversation in a low modulate voice and u will see you are both just making a conversation and not a fight.

I believe that in any relationship, we cannot eliminate the issue of arguments. There will come a time that your opinion may not be like your partner. Or your partner's likes may be your dislikes.
So you will talk about it, argue about it, consider a settlement or part ways if one of you don't give in to the other's demands or request.
We are all unique to each other. We don't have the same traits, same behaviour, same likes and dislikes.
I think its normal to have healthty arguements in a relationship because with it, you and your partner will know more about each other.
Just try to settle any arguements peacefully, ok. :)

There will be fight between partners as you will be most free with your partner and the amount you share or the space you take in their life is huge , hence there is always an opportunity for fight but , when one of the person in partners know that it is his/ her fault it is important to accept and say sorry . if anybody says they can live life without any problem with their lover or partner than that person whoulnt have self respect and should be so calm that even when the stone falls on him he shouldn't be worried nor tensed up, its impossible for human as god has given him the brains to do something

yes, you are right it is very important to say sorry when you know it is your fault and i think when you know it is your fault you should be saying a single word when she is angry. i personally think like that.
thanks for your suggestion and thanks for your response

I don't know if I really like the word, 'fighting'. I prefer to say that sometimes we have some heated (ahem) debates. Some debates can be louder than others.
Why do we 'debate'? Well, just because some one is a partner or spouse, doesn't mean that all opinions and viewpoints are shared. I suspect that if one were with a partner who agreed with everything, that it would be a pretty boring relationship.
After all, if there aren't any 'debates', we don't get to 'kiss and make up'. Just think of how the chocolate industry would suffer....

I disagree on the love thing because my true love and I we had argued only once in our whole relationship while in another relationship the love was one sided and it was due to that we fought constantly. You cant always avoid a fight. Something will happen maybe due to a misunderstanding. It works best I think if you are willing to speak to speak to each other with out yelling, listen to what the other has to say and try to understand where they are coming from. Do not think you have to be right all the time. Some people will say to let it go and let them be right even if they are definitely wrong but I don't think that's right at all. That might be ok in some cases but in most I think it will cause resentment and the problem will still be left unfixed and it will continue because this person is so sure they were in the correct.

i never been in a fight with my boyfriend of 6 years..yeah,there will be a small misunderstanding but soon enough everything will be back to normal..fighting is tiring mentally and physically,,just imagine shouting at each other defending yourself and cursing or even spill out everything..and after that you will feel sorry for both of you and feel bad..it is not good to feel such way everytime..i hate getting in any kind of fight because i think there's a better things to do than fighting..surely there is some fight that can't be stop or it is necessary to express your feeling...

Hi there. This is almost a temporary phase between two lovers. You know we have a saying there that if the life is a dish, the fights between two lovers is just a small amount of spice, to taste up the dish. For me and my wife too, we have quarrels and then I have observed we get much closer to each other. We realize our errors and say sorry to each other. I feel you should also start doing that. Don't expect your girlfriend to say sorry, you take the initiative to step down a level, forget your ego, since ego has no place in love and see the difference. If you say sorry to her from your heart, she too will melt in that love and I am confident, you will be getting much closer. And I would suggest if she starts the issue, you be calm and quiet to avoid the fight as much as you can. Anger is a temporary phase and after she is anger free you can discuss her with sweet words how she was wrong.

For me its not the word fighting its an argument to the person like my husband we always argue with so many things, but its normal to any relationship.sometimes you don't agree to each other.but definitely it can help in any relationship because after you fight you cope up and you make things right.and for that you can a build a strong relationship.
I really say sorry to the one I fight,i apologize to the i hurt and I'm making up so that i will have peace in my life.Its better not to fight to anyone so that you can live your life happily and nothing to worry for.

Fighting with your partner is inevitable, normal, and is okay. You can't avoid this thing and if you try to avoid it, it will lead your relationship to a bad end. Fighting can relieve you both of your stress and you can release your grudges against the other. If you try to avoid fighting, you are a coward who cannot face the battlefield head on, this will cause your partner doubts. Doubts on why you are trying to avoid, or doubts if you are manly enough. You say fighting brings closeness, that is true, and gaps only occur depending on how you handle it. If you let it go unsolved, yes, gaps are likely to come true.
Fighting can not be avoided, but when it starts you know it will also end, and in the end both of you will apologize to each other. The apology will compensate for the damage done.
Don't be afraid of conflict, you cannot avoid it.
GOod luck! :D

Fights are usually caused by misunderstandings. These misunderstandings are probably because of your difference in preferences, tastes, opinions or perspectives. This is very normal in relationships. It only shows that all people are unique and no people are exactly the same. From the simplest things to much complex ones, there will still be a time when you'll find yourself arguing over matters.
Once misunderstandings are settled and you came to agree on something, that's when fights become a good bridge of making your relationship stronger. This becomes a good way of knowing each others' differences and that when you start to think how much you love the person that you still want to stay and work it out.

Possessiveness is the main thing behind all this fighting and it is normal in any love.Sometimes jealousy can be another reason.Anyhow,if love becomes intact after such fights it is okay and it is welcome.And this fighting removes the boredom of having a monotonous life.

According to some, its not healthy if you are not fighting with your partner. But not to the point that you fight always and everyday. I guess that would not be healthy at all. Fights would bring us closer and we more sometimes learn to accept the view with our partner. It may not be the same view that we have but their view and we have just to accept it. Whatever some other call it, heat debate, arguments or fight its still boils to one thing. There is something that both of you did not agree on.
My beau and I we have fights and quarrels but we try to resolve it. We resolve it by not hurting each other, sometimes I would just walk out and give up. Because he knows that I am not a fighter or into fighting. My silence would sometimes makes him understand my side.

For me it is okay to have discussion with your partner most of the times. In fact, occasional argument with your partner spices your relationship even more. What matter is that at the end of the day, both of you must know how to patch things up and settle all your differences and face a new tomorrow together.
