1. Fights About Money
We always hear that money makes the world go round – and we may have to agree on this, too. That is why fights about money are regular in relationships. When you are in a long-term relationship or plan on having one with your partner, handling money is such a big deal. Well, you have to know how your partner treats their money when they have it. Do they spend it on useless things? Are they smart about saving for the future? These are things to learn and talk about when you are in a serious partnership.
2. Fights About Pet Peeves
While you may become one with your partner when you get into a serious relationship, you still have individual traits. That is why couples tend to have fights about pet peeves because when one does something the other doesn’t like, then you would expect a fight to commence at any moment. Don’t see this as something negative, though, since arguments about pet peeves will help you and your partner learn more about each other.
3. Fights About Romance

When relationships are new, there is this thing called the “Honeymoon Stage” where all the romancing happens – the wooing, the dating, and the i-can’t-get-enough-of-you conversing. Once you are past that stage, then a lot of things would die down. That’s where the fights about the relationship’s romance begin. You have to accept that that stage is done, and it’s part of a progressing relationship.
4. Fights About The Quality Time Spent Or Not Spent
Having quality bonding time and experiences with your partner is very important in a relationship. Why? Because that’s when you learn about your partner more, and it will help you grow your connection with each other. When each partner forgets free up time, it can cause friction in the relationship. The conflict arises because the other partner is worried about losing their connection, which only means they love each other.
5. Fights About Intimacy

For most couples, if not all, sex is also an important part of a relationship. They usually associate this act as a type of quality time. We really can’t argue much with that since the act of making love is a more intimate way of letting your body talk. When couples do not get as much sex as they used to, it can be very concerning for some. We cannot deny that people do get cranky when they lack sexual pleasure.
6. Fights About House Chores
Admit it, who wants to live with someone who is so lazy and would not help around the house at all? When you keep telling your partner to do a chore, and they don’t do it, that would piss anyone off. Each partner needs to pull their weight around the house so that it is an equal partnership. It would help if you tried splitting the housework and interchange jobs so that it doesn’t become tedious to either partner.
