7 Ridiculously Stupid Things Couples
Fight About
Perfect relationships aren’t about agreeing on
absolutely everything, they’re about compromise
and similar outlooks on life. They’re about sharing
core values, while always being ready to truly listen
to the other person and trying to understand their
differences without judging them. However that
doesn’t mean that people in great relationships
don’t have fights. We all have fights sometimes,
and I think it’s a good as long as it’s not too
serious. So let’s talk about the ridiculously stupid
things couples fight about all the time.
1. “Where Do You Wanna Eat?”
Choosing a place to go to for lunch or dinner can
quickly spiral into a silly fight simply because these
days we have too much choice. There’s cafes and
restaurants on every corner and they’re all so
different in terms of cuisine, comfort and
atmosphere. So trying to choose just one is pretty
freaking hard. So you end up in a 40 minute
conversation about cafes that ends with you just
deciding to order pizza.
2. “What do you want for dinner?”
Speaking of ordering in. Take out is so popular
these days that even a simple question of “what do
you want for dinner?” can become a source of
stress. Do you remember the good old days where
all you could really order was pizza or Chinese?
That was nice, wasn’t it. These days you can get
anything delivered to your door in 30 minutes flat,
be it something as simple as pizza, sushi, Chinese,
mac and cheese, or as complicated as a raw vegan
gluten free dishes. And when you have all these
options there are only 2 outcomes – order a bit of
everything or nothing at all.
3. “What to watch?”
Here’s a funny thing. We live in a time when it’s
easier to pick a movie at the cinema than decide
what to watch at home. Cause in the cinema you
can sort of take a look at the 10 -15 movies that
are showing and decide which one seems the most
interesting. At home – you have all of Netflix,
Amazon and Hulu to choose from. Not to mention
YouTube. I mean, you can spend the whole evening
just scrolling through the endless options.
4. “Who is going to throw out the garbage?”
Garbage is such a silly thing to fight about, but
we’ve all been there. First you have to actually
decide whose responsibility it is, which is its own
little fight. Cause how do you decide who’s the
designated trash person in the house? On the
other hand if you do it in turns – you’re bound to
forget whose turn it is when. And even after
you’ve figured it out – you’re still bound to forget
to do it once in a while and that results in an
argument. Everything would be so much easier if
there was some sort of magical way of making
garbage disappear.
5. “Do I look fat?”
It used to be a classic joke about women, as if
we’re the only ones who feel that way sometimes.
But these days even men find themselves asking
this question. Thanks media, and the unrealistic
expectations you set for everyone’s body shape. The
worst thing is there’s no quick answer to the
question of “Do I look fat?” . You can’t say –
“yes” . That would be horribly rude. And you can’t
say “Pfffft, no. That’s ridiculous” . That makes it
seems dismissive. So you either have to choose your
words and compliments carefully to please the
other person or buckle in for a fight.
6. “I’m fine.”
If there’s one thing I know in this world, it’s that
when someone says “I’m fine” they’re definitely
NOT fine and it’s just a matter of time before it
turns into a full blown fight. Hearing those words
is like staring at a bomb who’s timer just started
ticking.
