    Sad but true, a SPOON. My now ex-husband wanted a bowl of cereal and needed a spoon to eat it. There wasn't a clean spoon in the kitchen and instead of just washing one he tried to eat the cereal with a fork. Told him to just wash a spoon and then ta-da he coulda had some milk with each bite...After lookin at me like I was from outerspace, he said "umm...that's your job." Well of course there was a "hell-no" when I replied. Lets just say a spoon led to much needed introspection of self along with otherstuff, there are reasons we are ex's...a spoon was a catalyst.


    Sounds like you should have done dishes more often.

    probably the DUMBEST fight is that we both want the other to choose something that will make them happy. "What do you want for dinner?" "I dunno, whatever makes you happy." "Well, I want you to have something you want." "I will be fine; what o YOU want?"

    Sometimes, it actually turns into a fight, which is retarded 'cos we're both trying to e nice! *laugh*

    "who likes potatoes more, Russians or the Irish?"
    (I'm Irish, he's Russian)
    This turned into a screaming match and us not talking to each other for the rest of the night.

    ...I still think the Irish like potatoes more, but we decided never to bring the topic up ever again.

    When I was pregnant, my husband and I got into a fight about the laundry.

    He still mocks me for it, but damn it, the laundry needed to be done RIGHT THEN and he didn't understand the urgency and LAUGHED in my face! So of COURSE I was going to cry and it was going to be a thing.

    After, it was entirely all too funny, but at the time, it was serious as heck!

    My husband and I are HUGE college and NFL football fans for different teams. My team lost a big game and all hell broke loose. Now we have a plan to "support" each others teams unless we are playing each other. Then it is on :)

    My gf is a Packers fan and I'm a Bears fan. This will be our first fall together. Should be very very interesting.

    Thank god we both like the lsu tigers and the saints because we are both die hard fans. If we rooted for opposing teams heads would roll

    Haha. Thankfully our other teams are all the same (Notre Dame, Bulls, Cubs, Blackhawks). Speaking of the Saints, I hope they boo Goodell at the HOF dinner on Friday. I just heard the entire team is showing up. Complete BS how harshly he punished your squad. I'd be livid if it was the Bears.

    When I was a kid, my mom and dad always got into the BIGGEST, most awful arguments. On one such occasion, something started an argument (I can't remember exactly what started it, but it was probably money related), by the end of it they were screaming in each other's faces and calling each other horrible names over...wait for it...who started the argument! :huh: :noway: That was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I had to step in a be the parent in that situation. I threw my bedroom door open and screamed over both of them, "SHUUUUUT UUUUP! :explode: :mad: Do you HEAR yourselves?!!! If one of the boys (I have three brothers) and I were arguing over something so ludicrous, you'd tear our butts up! It may only take one comment by one party to START an argument, but it takes at least TWO people to perpetuate it. No matter how right you THINK you are, one of you needs to be the bigger person and let it go. I'm tired of hearing the arguing all the time. Either get some counseling, or get a divorce." :angry:



    This is how my parents were too.. I remember them always fighting and me and my sister would always tell them they need to get a divorce.. (and we were young at the time (12, 14) and we even knew it wasn't healthy.. Needless to say when I was 18 they divorced)

    FYI: I was sixteen at the time this happened, so I wasn't a six year old using words like "ludicrous" and "perpetuate". LOL

    My husband? Yes, we've had minor disagreements, and sometimes we bicker at each other, but more in a fun "it's funny to pick on you" sort of way. We don't have screaming matches, and we're both really laid back so the little, stupid stuff doesn't bother us.

    But....my ex fiance. Oh, holy God, my ex fiance. The most stupid things would set him off, and he would do the most childish, moronic things to retaliate. There was the one time I went with my mother and aunt to dinner while he was working (since he didn't get off until 10 that night) and when he came home, he said "I'm hungry, let's go to dinner." I replied that I had eaten with my mother and aunt that night, their treat. He proceeded to blow up at me and exclaim that I betrayed him (???) and as my "punishment" refused to eat that night. Yes, starving yourself really taught me a lesson.(sarcasm) The next night he went and had dinner with his mother and stepfather without me, even though I later found out they issued me an invitation, and proceeded to come home and tell me of the delightfull time he had and the delicious food he had eaten. *rolls eyes*

    Another thing that would upset me.....I like to cook, and everyone who has ever eaten what I made compliments the meal. Well, dear ex fiance refused to eat anything I cooked from scratch. It had to be from a box or can, like Hamburger Helper. He also wanted fast food all the time (even if we had little money to get it) and would complain about how much weight he had to lose. Whenever I pointed out it would be cheaper and healthier if I would cook and prepare the majority of our meals at home, he said that suggestion was disgusting, and would go out and get a burger from Wendy's. It also got on my nerves that whenever we went to a resturant, he had to have chicken tenders and french fries, and would complain endlessly when they didn't have chicken tenders and french fries. He ruined my 20th birthday dinner with his whining.

    Thankfully, I'm married to someone who isn't so childish.

    We've had very few fights, but the stupidest I can remember is a fight we got in over him not thinking that I fight people enough.

    We had a HUGE fight about this when we were in college, and he dumped me, because I didn't fight The System hard enough in regard to my RA position (long story short, I had a notoriously "difficult" floor but they were actually very good girls - there was some serious institutional racism in play - I caught a lot of flak for them, and I ended up resigning my position that day because the stress was too much for me to handle while also trying to pass my classes). I gave my engagement ring back to him. He put all of my stuff that was in his room in a cardboard box and set it down at the dorm lobby, and I had to go downstairs to pick it up in front of everyone. I called my dad and begged him to come pick me up from school (I lived 4 hours away and didn't have a car) but there was an ice storm, so he couldn't. I sobbed in my room all night, and then he paged up to my floor a few hours later, half-drunk (he very rarely drinks) and all giggly. We ended up making up a few days later, and eventually he realized that I had done everything I could without completely sacrificing myself - but my god, that was a nasty fight.

    12 years later, he still gets on me if I don't "damn the man" enough, but he's also realized that I do fight and stand up for myself - I just don't always do it in a way that he immediately recognizes.

    We have never had a fight. We have had one major disagreement but never a fight or argument. Over 3 years and counting! <3

    I think I left your ex 5 years ago. LOL He would do some stupid stuff and suffer to teach me a lesson. The lesson I learned...leave! Hahaha

    My Birthday cake... he ate the last piece while I was at work daydreaming about coming home to have it with a nice hot cup of tea. To this day, almost 13 years later, he always leaves the last piece and we split it.

    Way back when my husband and I had only been dating for a few weeks we got into a fight over a hypothetical threesome. It started out as one of those random questions "If you could have a threesome with anyone who would it be" .... usually expecting someone to say "Brad Pitt" or "Pamela Anderson" ...well you get my point...and then somehow that turned into "who would you pick in real life"...and that turned into "well if you want to **** them, then go **** them"....and that turned into "how did this even start?"....and we've been together since 2005, and have learned that we cannot play with hypothetical situations. :laugh:

    I find it seriously hard to believe that people are saying that they dont ever disagree in a long term relationship with their SO. Are you seriously saying that in 5 or 10 or 20 years you have never disagreed? Not a yelling, screaming, embarassing the kids kind of argument.....but you have never had a silly argument or disagreement? I dont buy that whatsoever. No matter how perfect your relationship might be, disagreements and arguments are not only normal but I think healthy.
    I agree!

    To be fair on the second argument, my husband and I went to the same school district and we were told 2 different ways to place a comma in a list. Now I just, throw, commas, in, willynilly.

    Over whether black is the absence of all pigment or all pigment. I said it was all pigment (and was RIGHT).

    We like to fight about who's turn it is to shut of the lights. It's more of a play fight, but we don't have many real fights these days.

    That's funny. I taught high school English and high school journalism. The comma rules are different, depending which style guide you follow. The AP Style Book used in journalism uses fewer commas. So, you were both right!

    Celebrating 20 year anniversary on 8/15. Can honestly say we have never had a fight. Stupid or otherwise.


    seriously?

    congrats. for real. didn't think that was possible. I mean.. not even over the last piece of pizza?

    I don't fight with my husband either. We're both really low key.

    HAHAHAHA LOL
    on a second note we have plenty of stupid fights... mainly on the what ifs. Like when our son is older and does something what we would do.... or like if our dog bites someone what will go down (never has before). So many of the arguements are about something that might not even ever happen but if they do we learned that 90% of them will end in divorce ;)

    ohhh and one of the biggest... I am a little paranoid/anxious about things so I will ask like a lot of questions (which to defend him probably can get a little annoying).... but he will always answer with "what do you think" puts me over the edge.... just say yes or no!! if I knew I wouldn't be asking!!
