My boyfriend and I, we've been together for 5 years already. The first two years was really hard for us, there is no months that we never have any fight. Lucky for us, we both believe and agree that we should always patch things out before we go both to sleep. Its normal that you and your partner have some fight, petty or not, but is it still normal when you no longer argue anymore? we never have any arguments lately, i was wondering do I need to get worry about it? Or i should be glad that everything is doing great in our relationship? just thinking.....

I heard it somewhere that a couple Should fight , that way the air is cleared.But I believe if you can agree to disagree and talk Everything out , there is no need to fight. So unless you are bored , enjoy the peace.

Ha, ha rosie, this is a good one! :) Have to say I understand your worries but it's not necessarily a bad change, unless you got so used to those fights that you miss them :))
There could be 2 possibilities :
1. the ugly one : you/him/both lost interested or got so used to problems you don't see them anymore and don't bother with them. This would be bad cause it would make the relationship pointless.
2. the good one : you 2 finally grew up :P And you did it together. You got to that point of compromise when you know what the other likes/dislikes and try to do the first and avoid the later so that you can please the other. And if both of you are doing this and it's not just one of you loosing the battle of domination and giving in to the other, i'd say ..not that you found your match, but rather made your match :P You created yourselves into a couple based on harmony and that's great.
So in conclusion : if you still do things together like going out to various places and having more activities together decided by both of you rather than having one of you always making the decisions or preferring separate activities, things are going for the best!
I wish you good luck and remember, when in doubt it's better to ask the other and communicate to your partner rather than dwell in doubt and insecurity and ruining things.

Every relationship have their phases. Some last longer then others. What you two are in is what's considered the honeymoon phase. Basically, you both are head over heals in love with one another, and you don't see any reason to argue. Not to say you won't have cause to argue in the future, but at this moment you don't see the need to. You shouldn't be concerned. Make good memories out of it and enjoy it while it lasts.

There is nothing to worry when you no longer argue as long as you both continue to express yourself to each other. My girlfriend and I barely argue because we accept and love each other for what we are. I always make it a point to express how I feel and so does she and our relationship has never been healthier.

you should not worry about it girl..as what have u said earlier you have been together for 5 years already so i bet you know more about each other's attitude,that's why for this past days you dont argue that much since you already adjust on each other and that's the good thing about it.. keep it up girl..just keep your love burning and dont mind about it!.. :)

Ok I understand that and being that you guys don't fight anymore that is good because now you can move on and go to the next step, because now you have figured out what make you guys tick and what makes you happy, mad, or sad. anf trust the longer you guys be together there is always something that is going to pop up in the relationship that you will debate about, but instead of arguing have a discussion it might not be as easy, but just try it, because most time when we all argue as couples we might miss the point of what the other person is trying to say or miss a very important view, now arguments can be tricky, you can argue and still a point have not been made you go to sleep with it under your pillow but then the next week you are arguing about the samething you argued about last week, and in some arguements you get your point across and things work out but you have to be carful when it come to arguing sit down with your partner and make sure that eachother understood, where you both where coming from and you guys come to a understanding. Then you can sleep well at night, but just to go to bed not mad is good, but was the issue really resolved? or was it swept under the rug?

I think it can be normal not to have arguements or fighting in a relationship. My husband and I have been married for over 10 years and we hardly ever fight. Sometimes we argue, but it is maybe only 2 or 3 times a year. We both grew up in homes where our parents would fight a lot and it was hard growing up in that kind of enviroment, so we try not to produce that same enviroment for our children.
I think I would be glad that you are not fighting or arguing with your boyfriend. I really don't think you have anything to worry about as long as everything else is going fine in your relationship. As long as he and you are still talking and showing the same affections toward one another as you had before, then I think it is fine.

There is nothing to worry about and on the other hand it's good that you are moving on well.From my point of view,two years of fight has made you both to understand one another and so be able to tolerate each other' s views.Fighting is something that is common in a couple then if it has stopped in your case,then this is something to be proud of.Whether you are fighting or not life has to continue.

You only should be worried if you have the feeling you are in a relationship that is no good for you. What are the fights you had in the first 2 years about? It can be that it was your way to find out who likes what and how to make compromises and work out a relationship that is good for both of you as well. Ever thought about that?
