How often do you argue with your DP/DH?

Me and my DP argue probably once a month, not massive rows but usually over something so inconsequential and then it blows over and it's forgotten about. My DP is much more emotional than I am, so will always want to sort things out before we go out or go to bed.

How often do you argue or bicker?

Not very often thank goodness and generally only when we are doing DIY and he gets his boxers in a twist over something that just isn't going his way 😂

Similar amount, they’re not awful arguments though and it’s more likely when I haven’t slept well the night before so I’m more tetchy. Luckily we don’t have to sort it out that night. Just sleep on it and everyone is back to normal the next day.

Last time was Christmas and before that I can’t remember. He was pissed off with me on our September holiday for doing something stupid.

BlondeMummyto1 · 17/04/2025 18:04

Never to be honest. We’re good at talking of something has annoyed the other.

Bicker maybe a couple of times a month, always over within a few minutes. Argue very very rarely

Peony1897 · 17/04/2025 18:46

It’s more bickering here, we rarely have rows (as in long shouty discussions over a specific grievance that result in a grudge for a few days). It’s normally me snapping at DH over something he hasn’t done correctly around the house or with the children, and gone within 30 seconds.

MightyGoldBear · 17/04/2025 18:49

We don't bicker or argue at all. We are good at communicating and really have very little we disagree on.

JustAnInchident · 17/04/2025 18:51

Not very much really. Certainly no big arguments anyway! I don’t know how or why but we don’t really clash or bicker much at all.

GroovyChick87 · 17/04/2025 18:52

Not a lot, really. We do bicker, argue about once every 2 months. If we do, we sort it out and get over it pretty quickly.

Chickydoo · 17/04/2025 18:52

Oh we bicker everyday (usually) just mild stuff, who is doing XYZ around the house. Who put the remote somewhere random, etc. we’ve been married 35 years & get on jolly well. Only have a very rare argument.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 17/04/2025 18:59

If there's some form of DIY that requires physical strength, spatial awareness and a modicum of technical language, it can get a bit sweary on my part - but in my defence, I'm not a fan of being pinned behind a washing machine because he's forgotten I'm going to need to come out of the the hole under the counter where I've been connecting the drain hose before he shoves it in, ripping the flooring as he does so or finding that my tools have been 'tidied' into another dimension and he thinks I'll be perfectly happy to be handed an adjustable spanner from the pound shop when I've asked for the ratchet and an 11mm socket from the toolbox that is now incomprehensibly bereft of everything I've ever needed.

Rest of the time, our disagreements are more along with the lines of 'Pork' 'I'd rather have lamb, actually'.

I’m in a 30 years plus relationship with mu
DH. He is my favourite person.
But! We almost hated one another in the young baby years.. competitive tiredness, both being younger and more selfish…
What’s going on?
How far in are you?
It shouldn’t be hard work in the early months.
Is it worth it?
What positives does he bring to the relationship? And you; what do you bring?
Do you want to stay or are you stuck?

tillyandmilly · 17/04/2025 21:00

Never - we are soulmates and have the same views on stuff !

familyissues12345 · 17/04/2025 21:10

We’ve been together 19 years and I can remember 3 big arguments. We do have daft bickers, but they’re usually pretty short lived!

Poonu · 17/04/2025 21:16

Define argument.
We're very different so often have different points of view and debate.

DramaAlpaca · 17/04/2025 21:18

We bicker a bit, but argue very rarely. We've only had an actual row about half a dozen times in our 37 years together.

Omg my DP is exactly the same! So easy going til he’s to do some DIY, then Im out of there. Thing is he’s a joiner by trade and I love all the improvements, always well thought out etc but something doesnt go exactly to plan he’s like a man near demented. Thank god the house is finished!

sirachaoneverything · 17/04/2025 23:26

Once a month

huuskymam · 18/04/2025 00:16

We're together over 30 years, we would argue may 2 or 3 times a year. Always about something silly and we're over it in a few hours.

TimeForABreak4 · 18/04/2025 00:56

I couldn't tell you the last time. It wasn't this year.
