My boyfriend has had to live with me for the past week or so. He will be moving out on Thursday, but this sudden moving in together temporarily has made things tense, but the last couple of days we have been getting along really great. He hurt my feelings and confused me tonight, I called him on it, and he says I am trying to argue, I say no I am just trying to talk things out,,,,,,and he laughs ....... I felt that he handled the whole thing very immaturely and selfishly. How does your partner deal with disagreements? Are either of you quick to label them as arguements?

I think the only way you really get to know your partner is living with them you should also discover if the both of you are compatable or not. My partner goes thru life not having any disagreements with me as he makes out nothing bothers him i myself is there is a problem i would rather sit and talk it out you should nt need to get into an arguement's although if our disagreements get out of hand he walk's out and wont even talk about it which makes me feel worse. I also think most men are selfish and immature about this kind of thing as this means they need to get emotional and alot of them dont as they think it ruin's there street cred lol and makes them soft thats men for you they dont like exploring that side to themselves.

While living with my boyfriend for some twenty years we hardly ever had fights and if we did they were really disagreements. We never went to bed mad at each other and we never really had a fight where we would just stop talking to each other. We acted very mature about our disagreements. We respect each others space and ideas and it just seems to all work for us. However, we are older and that may be the reason why it works for us.

Whenever I try to make my point my boyfriend used to say that I am arguing with him so one day I decided to make everything clear and told him that I am like this whether you like it or not and to say the truth is not arguing. From that day he understand perfectly now. When there are disagreements, he does not run away but make his point too and sometimes we even fight if it is too much however no matter how much we can believe things are alright, in a healthy couple there will always be disagreements though.

The thing about me is i fall deeper in love to girls who talks back at me, who has her own opinion but most of those i had been in a relationship with just keeps quiet and lets me decide instead. There's only one who stood her ground and i still love her til now.

I try to have a discussion with my boyfriend, but everytime I do, he just assumes that I am arguing with him, when I am not... we are going through some issues at the moment, and not sure as to how it will all end up, but if I say, can I talk to you, he says yes... and then I talk to him, and he starts raising his voice, and moaning that I am starting on him. It normally then goes on from there, until I give up, because I just get fed up of the arguing, I just want us to be able to talk things through.
