Well, even if I don't need it
it's good to know it.

She had told him several times that things had to change or she wouldn't stay with him. On Sat she was completely fed up with him.

he might be one of those people who always needs to be fighting
to feel excitement. I have some friends like that, they're always arguing and snapping at each other, but they insist that they're very much in love, it's weird.

Yeah
I know a couple like that. I find very stressing to go out with them.

I can't really imagine relationships like that.
it seems a bit dysfunctional to be "in love" but at each others throats all the time!

I know
I had a boyfriend like that. It lasted 2 months and I've never been so depressed. I thought I was doing something wrong all the time, until I realize he was just nuts.

Yeah I don't really get it
Wiggy and I rarely fight and when we do it's not something I look forward to!

I know a couple like that too
although since they've been married they seem to have calmed down a bit. But before that they'd have some serious fights!

I know a few too
seems odd to me, as I've never had an argument with a girlfriend

that's because you're a big calm stoner
Wiggy has just replaced a guy at work who's been signed off with stress and I said "oh but what if you catch it too?" and he just laughed and pointed out that he's not a likely candidate for stress.

I'm usually right too
so there's no point arguing ;-)

I do get stressed, but not much and it doesn't last long. If I get particularly stressed I'll quietly freak out for an hour or so and then get on with it.

I honestly cannot remember
the last time I had a stand up row with anyone, would probably have been with my sister. I'm a bit of a doormat and can't think of an argument I have had with a partner
