We may be in a mood with each other for half an hour or so, but then we're always back in each others arms.But it gets me down.How come we don't get on as well as other couples always seem to?We try so hard, and buy each other little gifts all the time, and say we love each other every day. So why does it seem like we argue so much?We can't be together, but we can't be apart! We've tried seperating at least 3 times now, but every time, we can't stay away. We're too in love.What can I do? Reply to this Question

 Everyone fights. When you first unite with someone, sometimes the first year is the toughest, because you are both still getting to know each other & you are still laying the foundation of your relationship. When you fight, though, listen to each other's complaints, then come to a compromise, and stick to it. If the fights are about an "ongoing unresolved issue" then say something like " we need to resolve this, so that we don't fight about it anymore. After you both resolve all of your issues, then things will get better, and there will be nothing to fight about anymore. ( except of course, a new issue that may come up. ha ha )

 Most couples are on their best behavior when they are in public and I'm sure that you would be surprised to find out exactly how much they fight if you were a fly on the wall. Everyone always thinks that the grass is greener somewhere else. It wouldn't be human to get along ALL the time. Everyone has conflicts. Think of your relationships with your parents, friends, brothers and sisters. The fact that you can have a fight, have a resolution to it and still love each other is a pretty good sign that your relationship is working.
