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
