Of all things for my husband and I to fight about we fought about the french fries last night. I was baking them in the oven and he was grilling burgers and we got in a fight over the timing of them being done. We always seem to have fights about the most ridiculous minor things. I guess it's better then fighting about big issues. We laughed this morning about it that we let the french fries ruin our evening. Have you and your significant other argued about silly things like this?

Aaaaahhhhh, French fried potatoes are slices of potato shallow fried, often in garlic. What you mean are chips. We invented the and we name them, it is confusing, not to mention culturally imperialistic, to use the term for one food for another all the best, urban

Well glad to hear that in spite of small altercations between u and your husband on small matters does not in any way hamper your relationship with him and i believe that is the essence of a relationship where fights do happen but soon both realize that they were behaving crazy over such small matters. i am sure this would help strengthen the bond between both of u. What say?

That sounds like the type of fights my husband and I have. Like you said it is better then having fights over something big. Sometimes we argue about what type of movie we wanted to watch on tv and it could be something as simple as him saying something like I wanted to watch this movie and him saying he told me and then I say he didn't tell me that he wanted to watch that movie and that he wanted to watch some other movie. We always laugh about it the next day and are like I can't believe we argue about things like that.

I think it's sad if you already fight about such a small, so less important thing. I hope this was not a fight at all, but you just used that word.

Well to us it seemed like a fight...but we don't fight too much so who knows. I guess I rather it be about something silly instead of a major big issue.

We've argued about stupider stuff than french fries. None of it comes to mind right now which is probably a good sign. At least you had a laugh about it in the morning. I can understand the need for french fries being done just right. Hot but not burnt. Not soggy and not dried out. Very important.

I remember having fights like that. It's a good fight when you can laugh about it in the morning. Sometimes little fights like those are good. I always felt like fighting like that relieved some stress but then didn't really cause any tension in the relationship because after all was said and done it was a really silly thing that could be easily forgotten.

It is the simplest tof things that we can find the biggest conflicts in, It may sound strange to some people that two people could fight about french fries but crazier things and simpler things are argued over by those in a relationshio together. it just has to be decided about what is more important. Is is the relationship with the one you care about or the trivial thing you find to be discontented with,

Sometimes we humans are funny. We argue, quarrel and fight over the least significant event. Perhaps it's the weather or perhaps it's the mood that trigger such outbursts. I really don't know. But the important thing is to make up and perhaps learn from it and get a little closer to each other. Have a nice day.

I don't have a significant other but I've seen this happen. I find it so ridiculous to fight like that. I hope if I ever get married or something we won't be brought that low at times to fight over small things. Over all it is better that it was small though so you were able to laugh at it in the end.

Hi! As soon as you get to know someone or live with someone, you will find fighting about things to fight about especially the silliest things..It's just a way for us to get to know one another and to find things that lets the other know what bugs us. I've had fights with my husband about the silliest things ever. I can't think of anything right now but i'll let you know when i think of one..I guess when you've had too many silly fights you start to lose count.. hehehe it is a fighting style and how we respond to each scenario..As long as we solve the issue, then there is nothing to worry about..

I guess my husband and I are weird because we try to be nice and not make a bid deal out of anything, and it ends up leading to a bigger fight. I think how we were raised might have something to do with that though. My family is bad about bottling everything up and his are a bunch of drama queens that fight over everything. So we're trying to not pass that on to our kids. I think we're still afraid to actually yell at each other or say anything too mean lol. The worst we ever do is not talk to each other until we're not mad anymore and can apologize. And I agree it's better to fight over silly things than big issues.
