Dumbest Fight You Ever Had With Significant Other

me and my bf NEVER fight
but we recently had a stupid fight when we were drinking about my MFP photo being innapropriate.
he apoligized the next day for overreacting and said i look great

Anyone else get into arguments during some sort of DIY project?

My boyfriend is pretty useless at this sort of thing but is too manly to admit it so he just gets angry and says the whatever it is he's building isn't made right. He never looks at the instructions which doesn't help and lacks common sense when he gets annoyed.

I'm calmer with these things (and quite enjoy building something flat-pack, it's quite sad), so I think it frustrates him even more when I tell him to get out of the way and I do it properly.

My boyfriend does this too. He's NOT the manly-man archetype, and has no experience with tools, building or anything. I, however, have been working in my grandfather's carpentry shop since I was 4 or 5 and know my way around some tools. Any time we buy something from Ikea and have to put it together, it starts with him trying to do it all and ends with me doing it in under half the time while he watches. But he gets SOOOOOO mad when I try to just do it myself - I'm sorry but if he did it it would never get done or turn out all wrong!!

Haha we have a coffee table in the living room I'm surprised is still standing because I left him alone to build it. It took him 2 days... 2 DAYS!!!

Acorn squash. I had made some as part of our dinner just after I had moved in with my DH and he refused to eat it. I freaked on him saying "all you will eat is cubed and frozen! " referring to the usual frozen mixed veg we usually had. It was a fight that was really about how I had done all the changes in my life, moving hours away from my friends and family to be with him, and he couldn't even eat something different. We still call that the cubed and frozen fight.

Apparently I was wrong to start renovating the bathroom on a whim one day while he was at work without ever discussing it first. Come on, why would you be mad if you came home to find your girl standing on the bathroom counter surrounded be a pile of ripped wallpaper?:laugh:

Yes, in hindsight I admit we should have discussed it first. That bathroom took 2 weeks to tile and paint and replace the shower, because one thing snowballed into another and another and a simple "peel paper and paint" turned into over a thousand dollars of full renovation...oops...lol

We're both scientists. You think lawyers can argue? Yesterday we argued about antibody-mediated response to core proteins vs spike proteins of enveloped viruses. At least we're on the same page on viruses vs virii, or that'd be another argument. We also argued about enveloped virus adsorption, ratio and significance of reverse transciptase enzyme in relation to its transcript, whether or not *all* viruses can enter that lytic cycle as well as the lysogenic cycle. To be fair, the adsorption argument was more of a discussion than an argument. This wall all within the span of a half hour. We argued about oncogenes vs proto-oncogenes the day before, chromatin staining before that, etc.

One thing we rarely argue about. Cooking. We cook all our meals--together or seperately, and we're both pretty damn good at it. Dishes on the other hand...

One time I took DH through the drive thru at Dairy Queen and told him I would just share wit him and he said I should get my own because he didn't want to share and I said, just get one big enough to share and he still said no, so I ordered my own but they didn't have what I wanted so I didn't get anything and he still didn't give me a bite!
makes me mad, just remembering that, so...
also, he likes crest and I like aquafresh and he always remembers to alternate, and it takes, like 6 months to get through the tube. I cannot believe he has not recognized the superiority of Aquafresh...

-Our most frequent "fight" is over who has to get up and turn the light off when we are going to sleep.
-We had a huge blow up because he couldn't get the new track on the kitchen drawer to screw in right, and apparently it was my fault because I wanted the new track. SO SUE ME IF I DON'T WANT THE DRAWER FALLING OUT ON ME!
-We had a little argument yesterday because he wanted to hug me and I really had to pee.
-Me-"It's gar-ahge" Him-"I say it gar-adge!" Me-"Why do you suck so much at talking!?" We also constantly argue about things that are real words and things that are not and the correct definition.
-He's totally fine with leaving the wipers mid way up when you shut off the car and I am not!
-I've said this to him more than once. "If you don't stop telling me how to drive I am going to pull over and make you drive and then tell you how to drive!" He replies "You scare me sometimes when you drive!" Me-"I've never been in an accident calm down you baby."
-He is constantly accusing me of sneaking healthy things into his food. Just cuz a girl does something like put shredded zucchini in your brownies or shredded carrots in meatballs or greek yogurt instead of lots of other stuff on a pretty regular basis! And I constantly argue that he can't taste the difference until I tell him whats in it and "it's all in his head" and he's all "I'm just being nice!" by not telling me he doesn't like it as much.

Ladies, I've read in other posts that when fighting to just start taking your clothes off. My fiancé and I get into lots of silly little riffs, and I have seriously starting doing this. He can't stay mad and he just laughs asking what I'm doing, and bam! Fight is over.

I LOVE this ...

Just before we got married, we attanded Marriage Classes at our church and the Priest suggested that if we were going to argue then we should hold hands and face each other whilst we do.... I think I'll tell him of this technique ...LOL xx

My husband wanted me to sing because he and his friends were playing Rockband at a party. I was too nervous/sober and said no.

Long story short, I ended up leaving but couldn't find my way out of the skyscraper-like apartment complex. He found me when he realized I was gone and I cried a lot because I was lost and scared.

Then I just felt stupid.

Never had a fight with my wife, and, after 25 years together, I think we may be past the volatile stage.

I cannot believe that I have come to the point that we are arguing over rice cakes!! (HE ATE MINE!!!)

Okay, I'll bite... My EX and I went to a Holloween party. He dressed up as Bret Michaels... and I was, yes, his groupie... Straight hooker get up and all... I had even gone to the mall and bought these rediculous vinyl imitation snake skinned purpley and greenie glittery strappy pumps... (They had take me home to mom written all over them. :huh: )
So at the party, I'm a good sport. But my feet are KILLING ME.... And I am swearing at myself for not being Tennis Shoe Spice for the night. But there is this one chick there just ooohing and ahhhing over these great shoes of mine.... So I took them off and handed them to her and told her if she made them disappear she could have them.
So later, Mr. Observant is like.... so where are your shoes? And I told him they had been spared a slow torturous death because I had given them away (I was totally planning on slowly melting them down and making a magnet or something...)
He got sooooo pissed at me... And you didn't feel you should talk to me about that? I had plans for those shoes.... We fought for days over stupid shoes...

I wonder now if he had planned on borrowing them.... hmmm......

Most of our fights is over his family and my family...

**I bug him with things like..

His brother, when we lived with him, would take my toothpaste to his golf tournament. Or he would leave all his dirty plates and cups in his room for a week (and they were my plates that I brought to the house). Or when he cleaned out his room he'd put everything including the trash into the sink..

His mother, who mean all well and good, calls 6 to 10 times a day everyday, and if my fiance does not answer her first 2 calls, she'll be calling my phone till I answer.

His father, who's only reason for living now is to be around for his grandson, always ask for permission before picking up my son, or to play with him.. It's strange that he feels like he has to ask.

**My fiance bugs me with things like..

My grandmother, who is our babysitter, seems to rant on and on to us about not having enough money. We pay her for helping us out and watching our son, but my father who lives above her hasn't payed her for rent in who knows how long.

My father, because he has seemed to care about our son since ever. He doesn't even call. He is at home drinking most of the time but doesn't seem to help my grandmother out with rent, or fixing up her floor like he started. Or going out to help my grandmother change a tire when she popped it. Or not offering any help with our up coming wedding whether it be paying for something, or running around or anything.

My mother, because she is a workaholic and doesn't get to much time to come see our son (even though she would love to) but she is working three jobs, one of which is just so she can help pay for some of our wedding.

Yeah.. But the fights are funnier in person...
