Really stupid things you and your DP/DH have had massive rows about....

Me and DP had a corker last night - he thumped the wall and strode off to bed early in a huff. The works. Because...... wait for it.....

We were watching that Red Riding thing on TV and I was trying to explain the plot. And he wasn't understanding and I was getting very impatient telling him the same thing over and over. It got REALLY HEATED.

Honestly, I nearly felt like divorcing him except we've never actually got married.

We kissed and made up this morning though.

Lol at cheese and ham together. Honestly, the extravagance.

Quite!

The very first row we had was because I wrote the word 'poo' a few pages into his textbook. I thought it would be hilarious when he eventually discovered it. Boy was I wrong, although we laugh about it now.

Dh's family still bring up the blazing row we had over a family game on trivial pursuit - we were in teams of two, couples all round. We were poised to take the lead (and chance to win) by getting the last segment in our thing and HE leapt in with the WRONG answer when I was trying to get in with the RIGHT answer - he KNOWS to leave the BROWN questions to me...actually, maybe I still haven't quite recovered from that one...

I did once pull into a service station and tell him to get out of the car if he was going to persist in arguing over the definition of the national speed limit road sign and what it meant on dual carriage ways versus motorways.

I'm sure there have been many more.

Dh and I argue furiously about football quite a lot, mainly because he's a supporter of one team in Glasgow, and I support the other.

We also argue about The Darkness (the band) because I think they're idiots and he doesn't.

In fact, music in general, as dh thinks there two genres in the entire lexicon of music, which can be summed up as "Heavy Metal" and "shite," whereas I like the occasional pop ditty!

Great thread this.

We had one about the Ceaucescus. He insisted that they had been hanged from a lamp post and was willing to bet me a million pounds that I was wrong in asserting that they were shot. Then we had another one about Hermione Norris that culminated in another million pound bet, which I lost so we were quits.

Our first ever row was about freemasons. We were on our first holiday together in Barcelona and I sulked for hours and even considered dumping him for having covert sexist views

This thread is so funny.

Yesterday we argued whether a rather nice house for sale down the road was devalued in anyway because it was near some council housing.

It almost ended our 3 yr relationship.

GruffaloMama · 09/03/2009 22:50

We argue about colours - all the time. He maintains that he's right despite being colour blind. Honestly - he can't tell the difference between burgundy/brown/grey. But he still reckons he can.

How to pronounce schedule.

How to type. I put two spaces after a full stop. Because I got taught to type properly. He thinks it's anachronistic. I want to bite him.

That if DH sleeps through two night feeds it doesn't mean that DS is sleeping through.

Me & Dp tend to have a major, blinder of a row about every 2 years....always over something pointless, always when both WAY too pissed. The silliest one I can remember was about whether or not I liked corriander ( me, I do, him, no you don't...me, don't you dare tell me what I do & do not like etc etc) ended up with him vomiting in a wine cooler, which I then nearly gave to someone pretending it was a cocktail......AND who says a booze cruise with work mates is a bad idea?

My sister broke up with her long-term boyfriend after an argument about which way to park the car. They were parking outside a football stadium, DB wanted to turn the car around so they'd be facing the right way for the exit. DSis didn't agree as they were late already. Cue 2 days not talking to each other and finally breaking up.

DH and I argue about the way to load the dishwasher.

GruffaloMama - you shouldn't do two spaces after a full stop. I was also taught that way with typewritters, but you shouldn't do that with computers. First thing they teach you in publishing!

we also argue about our house price

we are never moving house again EVER so I don't know why we argue about this

SexyDomesticatedDad · 13/03/2009 07:55

Fact - men can't distinguish as many colours as women. Hence men get full colour blindness whereas women don't.

Had quite a big argument about calendars - I put all meetings, appointments, weekend stuff there - DW says she doesn't know about X or Y but its on the calendar - hanging for all to see on the kitchen door!

Whether to buy crinkle of straight cut crisps in M&S when we were late to catch a train.
