Misunderstandings, fights, arguments or whatever you want to call them are inevitable in a relationship but even so that does not mean you should fall headlong into them when they can be avoided. There are topics that are like fight-magnets so you have to tread carefully and know how best to approach them when they arise. Five of such topics are:
Money
Due to how touchy this subject can be, many couples avoid talking about it altogether. Expenses, especially when there is lack can really get tempers flaring. Also, some men prefer keeping their true financial status a secret for fear of being exploited but this causes distrust between the couple.
Intimacy
Most couples interpret intimacy as how regularly they have sex or how much time spent together. Prior to popular belief, being together does not equal being intimate. Inability to understand this makes the couple fight because they are together a lot but unable to connect.
Exes
Some couples get pulled into arguments because one of them likes to talk about the ex so much. Another pitfall many couples fall into is in carrying out mental comparisons between the present partner and the ex.
Flirting
Many people mean no harm by being slightly flirtatious, especially when they meet a person for the first time. However, in relationships, it usually causes a fight because the other person would feel disrespected.
Bad habits
One would be surprised to find that the tiniest bad habits like leaving a wet towel on the bed or dragging one’s feet when walking can cause the biggest fights especially if it is a habit that the other person has complained about before.
