My wife and I were on vacation once and I told her to stop doing something because it was annoying me. She still randomly says. "And you still haven't apologized for calling me annoying that one time." and this was over 7 years ago. I remind her that I never called her annoying nor am i going to apologize for my statement.. No doubt I will still hear about it for years to come.

Well, its not like men are without our flaws. Ours are just different, like rubbernecking or forgetting anniversaries.

Well, here is a piece of wisdom that you will learn once you settle down with someone. If you are fighting over petty shit, then things are going great. Its fighting about serious shit or (worse) no fighting at all that are red flags that something bad is going on. A little grumping over stupid shit is the woman equivalent of men breaking your balls and actually keeps things frisky.

Not fighting at all is worse? Yeah...ok. What are defining as a fight here?

My husband always makes fun of me for never remembering our anniversary. We have this blanket someone got us for a wedding gift with the date of our wedding embroidered on it. I swear if it wasn't for that, I would never know the date.

I can't even remember what day of the week it is usually. It's pretty much only relevant to knowing what spot is running lunch deals today.

I remember everything. I remember so much that I often find myself pretending like I don't remember some things, so I don't come off as some creeper.

Dunno if I agree with that. A fight often just means lack of communication between the two of your. Sometimes communication is just really working and there isn't anything to fight about. The last "fight" I had with my husband was about lack of communication (which he initiated) and that was several months ago.

A pissy day because kids were frustrating or work sucked and the grumping that comes from that is pretty normal though.

My wife argued with me last night because she made some fudge and I put the large sauce pan she used into the sink and filled it with water. Apparently i ruined everything because she wanted to scrape the fudge off the sides and eat it, I guess I was supposed to know that.

Can't get any more petty than that.

I had a 9 year marriage lessons about settling down are not necessary. We didn't really fight at all, even over petty things, then again I may not be the best example since we are no longer together but that is more for life choice differences than anything else.

Lack of fighting/unwillingness to argue is usually an indicator that one/both parties have checked out. It shows a total lack of passion. My parents were married for over 25 years, together for 28. I knew their marriage was ending right around the time they quit squabbling. It's not that every petty thing should be a fight/argument, but if you can't even bring yourself to care that much about the relationship? Huge red flag.

It might be an indicator in certain relationships but definitely not the standard.

Yeah, disagreements are not fights. I agree you should express when you disagree with something.

Well yeah there's a pretty huge difference between disagreeing on a subject and getting mad because you forgot an anniversary or left the toilet seat up or something stupid like that. My ex used to get upset and tell me to STFU whenever I'd start talking about comics and I'd get pissed when she wouldn't want to see a movie or something but that never resulted in a fight/argument was just kind of an understanding that those how things are. I should say we split up because she wanted children and some other things I didn't want in life.

Whenever I have some petty thing I want my significant other to change I always make a joke about it and try to give her shit about it while making us laugh at the same time. Usually gets the message across.

But I am weird with confrontation and may be one of the most relaxed/doesn't let little shit bother me people on the planet.

That's basically what I am talking about, too. But you guys have to remember that women just like to bitch in general about things. You can either play ball a little bit or she will keep lobbing things at you until she gets you rustled. A little back and forth on stupid shit greases the wheels, as far as I am concerned. Arguing over stupid shit is what makes my wife my best friend and not just some trophy I parade around when I am not boinking her.

Plus remember that all women love being annoying on some level, so engaging them a little bit on dumb shit saves them from working themselves into a lather and starting a real fight.
