I’d say no, but need some context. Are you married? Newly dating? Good positive relationship?

No, not normal. You haven't given a lot of information to go on though. Are you anxious when you're with them or just before? I'm wondering if it's your partner who is making you anxious, or maybe you have some subconscious fear that you won't see them after all because they die in a car crash on the way over or something like that. What exactly are you anxious about do you think?

Sounds like you are ready for it to be permanently off

Time to end the relationship - relationships are meant to be enjoyable, not full of arguments and causing you anxiety.

Time to end it. This is not a healthy relationship. It is harming your mental health. Walk away and don't look back.

I had this with an ex. Turns out it was my body's way of telling me I needed to end the relationship.

Time to move on OP.

You should still be excited two years in - not anxious and the evening ending in an argument.

In which case , what on earth are you doing putting yourself into this situation consistently?

just ditch him, move on.

Yeah I didn't think it was normal 😭 I can't seem to walk away from it though? X

You sound like a break could be a good idea, you need to figure out why you keep going back to this relationship when it clearly makes you anxious. A romantic partner should be a sanctuary from life's sharp edges, a tonic. If it isn't, it's not right for you. All the best.
