Is it normal to argue in a relationship every so often, or should a couple argue infrequently?

If you want a long term relationship you better figure out how to resolve arguments. Your only going to get in more.

If a relationship is going to be this drama filled - I might not be cut out for this. However I am glad I had this experience and aren't invested/intertwined too much to walk away.

An argument every so often is good. I dont trust those relationships where people claim they've never had a disagreement...

Brehs of the coli, hoes like this is how nikkas end up with a felony. If a bytch say some shyt like this stay far far away.

She's dangerous and will lead your ass to destruction.

My love and I disagree on issues every few weeks or so, I originally saw it as arguing, but he made me see that we're communicating and getting issues out of the way before they build and turn into something bigger.

The comment below is true- my ex and I argued less than once a year. At first I was proud of it, thinking we had such a good relationship, but all it really brought was a lack of passion and communication.

me & the mister are learning to disagree without hurting each other but we have had full blown fights and breakups at least once a week over the most idiotic to most important issues so it's best to learn how to communicate on different levels about different topics early in the relationship because your personalities will clash but if you're dealing with a person with a short fuse like I am, you will have to put in work.

if nothing gets better, walk away before you get too attached.

My dude and I are getting there also. He and I have other interests/school/obligations but have been together 24/7 since the day we met. That may have something to do with it. We are becoming best friends, but as I think about it - I had to go to the grocery store last night to get away from him, and it was only 2 hours... lol
I have to learn to defer sometimes; not to concede, but to acknowledge my input may fan the flames of barking...

I love this guy and we are good - I was just curious because yesterday was a pisser!

Arguing is for birds. If you have a difference in opinion, you can respectfully voice it and come to some form of decision. Most arguments be on some power struggle shyt.

True, however not everyone's communication style is that refined... I am pretty edu-macated and I lose my cool.:ehh:

You argue all the time- There’s nothing wrong with conflict in a relationship. It’s completely normal, and in fact healthy at times. But if all you do is argue, then there’s a problem. Researchers have found that for a relationship to be happy, the ratio of positive to negative interactions needs to be 5:1. If your ratio is inverted, you’re going to be miserable. And don’t try to convince yourself that once you get more serious, things will get better. The first couple years are the honeymoon period! If things are already bad in the early stages of a relationship, you’re in big trouble.

It's normal to have disagreements but to argue is a different thing. I'm not saying your relationship is going to be perfect, but if you guys argue and fight more than you laugh and smile...then you need to reevaluate your relationship

The important thing is to learn how to argue.
The older you get, the more you realize every disagreement isn't the end of the world, or the end of the relationship.

If you can learn to disagree and not carry it with you, it's okay.
If you're constantly fighting, then maybe you're just not as compatible as you think.

It's probably a sign of an immature person if they are always arguing and trying to "win".
