The relationship trinity
I have heard it said that EVERY couple fights about THREE main topics: MONEY,SEX, and IN-LAWS.....I'm curious how many of you have found this to be true.... Personally, I think it is! Pretty much all of our arguments have to do with at least one of these topics, although sex is the least of them and I wouldn't say that causes actual fights, more like issues to be discussed and work out, LOL....how about you? Does this old adage hold true today?

Not for me. I want sex more than he doesn, but its not a fight. We love each others in laws, which is so great! Our families are a lot a like. Right now we're deciding how to combine bank accounts. I know money is something a lot of people fight about so I want to make the best decision for our funds.

I would say yes, those three are the most argued about topics.

I heard the same thing, but its not true in our relationship. I think we're on the same page in those aspects. We fight over stupid stuff like, what to eat for dinner, driving directions, do-it-yourself projects, etc. LOL

LOL...yeah we have those moments too of course...but definitely IN-laws are our #1 fight....and money causes it's moments.....like I said, we don't "fight" about sex but there have definitely been things to work out in that area so I could see it causing fights for many other couples...I'm right there with you Potters on that one! LOL

ive heard that too.
we only argue about inlaws, and its more his than mine.
he dsnt get along with his parents. so its usually him that brings them up, which is kind of weird to me.
Money, eh...not really we arent worried about it, we know what we can go with out, and what not.
Sex, never lol.
Im agreeing with Kari, we argue over the stupid things! lol

We haven't really argued about in laws or sex. I'd have to say that for us the main arguments are about money and the kids. Well mainly my kid! I've been a single parent and responsible for all decisions when it comes to my son (even when I was with his father I was responsible for all the decisions). So when it comes to someone else giving an opinion on parenting my son it's been....difficult....for me. My FH is a father 5 times over and has had full custody of his kids since his divorce 12 years ago so he's had lots of practice. I know he means well but it's been hard to get used to sharing the responsibility.

yeah Konichiwa I'm sure that when we have kids that will quickly become the number one topic! Blending a new family is hard on everyone. good luck!

Generally we don't find those to be the main part of any arguement. We've never fought about money, a few little ones about sex, we both get along with each others inlaws, now don't get me wrong we argue but just about other random stuff once in a while nothing really consistant.

In my first marriage, I'd say 99% of our fights were to do with one of those three things. We fought about money because we never had any. We fought about sex because we never had any. And we found about the inlaws because both of us were too young and immature to realize that we were our own family now and instead went running to our parents everytime things got bad.
In my current relationship, we don't fight about any of those things. We're totally on the same page, so to speak, about the big three. When we fight, it's usually over petty stuff.

So far, our only argument was over a piece of cake... except that it turned out not to be a real argument. He went into this long speel about me eating the cake... thinking that I knew he was joking. I took him seriously and spent most of my evening in misery. Then he realized that I took him seriously and he felt bad. Ha! Its kinda funny now :)

Our arguments are more like heated debates, really, and those are usually over in 5 minutes or less, but we did just get done having a pretty lengthy one about the in-laws, and then one about money. BUT the root of both of those is that we weren't listening to each other. The money and the in-laws sparked it, but it kept going for longer than usual because we weren't communicating well. I think that's usually the case for most couples - it doesn't matter what starts it, it won't end until you two start communicating.

Oh is it true for my husband and I we rarely fight about money sex a little more cause he works the graveyard shift so when he is sleeping im awake vice versa and we also have a 19 month old to add to it whom we share a bedroom with. The the biggest topic are in laws and its his family we don't get along at all to the point this past week I told him Im done with them and not having anything to do with them to have them not call text or email me again but he agreed to it so thats good he stand by my side and respects me.
