I also have a constant quarrel with my husband about his drinking habit and lack of time and attention for me and my children. But after 8 years of staying married, I just simply accepted his flaws. Anyway, he is a very hardworking husband. Though we're not really well-off, he make sure that we had everything we needed. I can't even remember what's our last fight was all about.

Isn't it hard to accept something like drinking, though? I don't know. I have been married 8 1/2 yrs but some things I just don't know if I've really accepted. LOL That's awful of me!

My last fight with my husband was about money. We have been married a year and half and I can only remember one or two fights. I am pregant and I was trying to figure out a way for us to save money for when I am off on maturity leave. I metion to him about getting a babysitting job for when I get off work. ( I get off at 2:30 everyday) Anyway he did not want me to do that. So I told him to think of a soltion. ( One of the stupid I idea on my part.) He decided that we need to sell land that we purchased less then a year ago and then went and did it behind my back so I did not have anything to say about it.( In case you can't tell this aurgment went on for more then one day.) Yes he was able to sell for enough where we have plenty to make it though me being off. But now we are back to renting instead of buying. I use it was a sweet thought him not wanting me to work but I still hate that we had to sell our land. I loved it out there.

Our most recent disagreement was him making the decision to do freelance work in China (without getting my agreement) even after his contract over there has ended. Before that, he promised he'll be back after his contract ends and look for a job back home but...... Things are not working out well ,it's been about 3 months and he's sent back only a couple of hundreds of dollars. Now my 2 kids and I are surviving on our savings.

the last time we fought is about his dogs!
I got so jealous for the time he spend with his dogs. I felt neglected.. Im such a stubborn... we had talked before to never fight about money, we dont have much money so we dont spend too much. Money's such a hard issue to settle!

Yeah, I guess it's hard to fight about something you don't have much of. LOL But that's sad he spends more time with the dogs than he does with you.

I always fought with my husband with regards to his nasty habit and constant drinking. I wanted him to quit dipping and I want him so slow down drinking. He doesn't like me when I tell him about his vices, he always tells me he doesn't like me nagging. Well, if he quit dipping and slow down on drinking I wouldnt nagged too much!

If only they could realize 1.) it's not good for them, 2.) it's causing a problem in the marriage.. and then want to change. But no.

Ours have been trying to balance our lives. He has started his own business that is absolutely taking off. You would think that was a good thing, but he's having trouble balancing that, his personal life, and his family. It's as if he's more interested with the money he's making than his 11 month old daughter.
But we're working together to find a solution and hopefully it'll be all in the past very soon!

Our last fight was about him not respecting how tired I was at the end of the day one day. He was really snarky with me about not wanting to DO anything. He is rearely like this though - and we rarely fight. We both know the other works insanely hard all day - be it at a job, or parenting, and we try to give each other as much latitude as we can.

Oh, I know what you mean about that. Men work hard, but women do too. I think it's hard for each to really get what the other has to deal with during the day.

Our last Big fight was about how I thought he wasn't paying enough attention to me, because he's been working so many long hours lately, hehehe, but we have irritation spats now and then that we usually just laugh about even as we're "arguing" because theyre so stupid, like about where he put the sugar.

We usually just bicker about really stupid things depending on the day we've had but we both kinda like the little spats because then we make up afterward. Usually the really big fights have to do with money issues and me trying to keep him focused on the problems at hand when I don't think he's taking them seriously and needing him to realize how important it is to do what we can to fix the issue.
