Arguing

[Shrek]

I find that I like to argue with my girlfriend. But some of the things I argue with her with seems kind of petty. But thats the sort of relationship I like. That's how I like to communicate. I hope I am making sense. My question is, Is it healthy or not, short term and long term.

Fighting in a relationship is extremely healthy.

Be warned tho - fighting too much WILL cause a break up - and also fighting too little can end a relationship.

I believe that fighting is good because it gets things solved. You learn about them, and they learn about you, and you BOTH compromise a little. If you dont fight - you dont learn and therefore dont grow a healthy relationship and then later down the road you will split. And if you fight too much you can drive each other away.

I dont know the real reasons of why fighting is healthy for the relationship - but I do know it is scientifically and medically (or some crap study) proven that it is healthy. Google it up if ya want.
