It is normal for every couple to have disagreements, arguments and even occasional fights.
But sometimes, we do not realise how some arguments silently indicate that all is not well in paradise and are sabotaging your bond with your partner.
Here are seven types of fights that can be considered as a red flag for your relationship.
1. Family planning!
This is one of the most serious arguments that can threaten a marriage. You both are not on the same page when it comes to planning a family. While one partner fears that parenting is a huge responsibility and is not ready for it, the other partner is willing to have kids. There is a high probability that this situation would lead to resentment between the partners and take a toll on their love life.
2. The sex life
Lack of physical intimacy between couples can shake the foundation of their relationship. It could be different sex drives, sexual preferences, monotony or anything else, and can lead to a feeling of rejection (in turn, dissatisfaction). It is the wisest to take a deep breath, analyse what is exactly wrong and discuss with your partner.
3. You fight on the same topics again and again
Do you and your partner fight over the same topics again and again? Do you always struggle to find a middle ground, and you feel you end up compromising at every step of your relationship? If your answer is a ‘yes’, it is a sign that you both have compatibility issues and it’s the time to sit down and reflect on your relationship.
4. You constantly doubt the decision of being together
Has your partner hinted to you about repenting the decision of getting married during a heated argument? Do you feel your life would have been different and better with someone else? Or you struggle to recall the last happy memory with your partner? Well, needless to say, this dissatisfaction might be straining your bond and this situation is definitely a red flag for your relationship.
5. When one or both of you insist on being right
If one or both the partners have an ‘I-am-always-right’ attitude or get egoistic over little things, it is a sign that the relationship might not go the distance. Like we said, every couple fights but the ones who resolve the issues are the ones who share a healthy bond.
6. Trust issues
It is quite difficult to bounce back to a normal relationship if there are trust issues between the partners. Such a situation is bound to lead an emotional disconnect and create a dent in the bond.
7. When you don’t fight at all
Not fighting at all might indicate that both the partners are emotionally detached and have completely given up on each other. It is a sign that none of them are willing to fight to keep the relationship afloat and are okay seeing it fall apart.
