I feel like we are constantly arguing with each other these days. We must have bickered 5 times today and there were at least 3 occasions I held my tongue.
Im just wondering what is normal! Thanks!
-
Regular- a few times a day.
Pregnant?? Always. It's terrible and I know a lot of it is me just having zero patience. The little patience I have is reserved for C so DH gets all of the snapping.
-
Always. New baby and a toddler. Also, sometimes he just pisses me off
-
The more tired and stressed we are, the more often it happens.
-
At least once a day, usually 3ish times and some days it's everything we say to each other! I hate bickering!
-
Sometimes never, sometimes once a day, sometimes all day long. We will go through periods where we never bicker and then periods where it is all we do.

@Cherrybee: I want to send you hugs, arguing can be stressful. I always take it deeply and personally.
Looking at the others replies I thought our arguing was too much sometimes, but now I can see that our couple times a week (when he's home), is just fine.
What pisses me off when we fight is when I thought we'd left a past arguement LONG behind us, and he brings it up as ammunition, I feel that is dirty fighting.
Every couple argues differerently. If you guys are still in love at the end of the day and can let it go, don't worry about comparing yourselves to others.

We did a lot when I was tired, moody, and generally unhappy. I started working out more, taking supplements, and we do much better. H shares the chore workload a bit more and I realize my limits more too.
-
Alot. And by that I mean I get increasingly upset as the day goes on because he doesn't fight at all. I just get blank stares when I say things so by the end of the night, I'm tired and have used up all my will power + the build of annoyances all day and I become completely irrational. And even when I'm being insane, all I get is blank face. Nothing pisses me off more! So basically I bicker often and he bickers never. I'm working on it
-
Thanks everyone. It sounds as though we are pretty normal then! I hate arguing so much - and then DH gets annoyed at me for wanting to talk it through; he says I'm making a big deal of nothing.
@Mrs. D: Thanks for the hugs. I needed them!
-
I'd say once a week we have a bad day where one or both of us is just exhausted and cranky!
-
Oh man, today was a doozy. It felt like we were on and off bickering all day. Ugh. Normally, we don't fight much. Today was a really off day for some reason.
We're planning adult time tonight to make up for it, haha. Make up sex always helps!
-
we go through phases. We'll have a few days or weeks where everything is smooth as butter then there'll be a few days where we bicker a lot. seems to be our new normal since baby.
-
Right now, a few times a day is totally normal for us with a fussy infant and emotional toddler and me not sleeping well. We have both been really good about letting things go since LO2 arrived but I do feel like that stuff all adds up emotionally if you don't really process it (I worry about DH never emotionally processing things..).

@cherrybee: Thanks for starting this post! Makes me realize we're more normal than I thought!
