23 Millennial Couples Confess What Their Biggest Disagreements Are

In This Article:

The "honeymoon phase" doesn't last forever. Any relationship has disagreements, but sometimes they can be much bigger than a simple miscommunication. Sometimes they can end everything.

Whether your significant other is close to home or long distance, whether you've been dating for a couple months or several years, odds are there has been trouble in paradise.

I asked 23 millennial couples to answer three simple questions about what the biggest disagreements in their relationships were about.

1. What are the biggest disagreements you and your significant other have?

1. Him hiding which of my friends he had slept with in the past, me demanding consistent communication

2. Not talking enough

3. About how to handle conflict with others

4. Money and lack of time together due to our jobs

5. His idiot friend

6. Jealousy

7. Who gets the final say

8. Throw pillows

9. Time management and how often to see each other

10. The frequency of communication and intimacy, emotional closeness

11. Time balance, budgets, and life goals

12. Driving

13. Money, sex, health

14. He doesn't have time for me, won't make time for me

15. Drinking too much

16. Caring more about her friends than she does me

17. Social media

18. Him skipping school, him not thinking forward, sex

19. Money and time spent with others (until the VERY late hours of the night)

20. Politics

21. To have kids or not

22. Females he sees as friends but that I know are more interested in him

23. Religious ideas

Are there any reoccurring disagreements? If so, what are they about?

1. Same as above

2. My spending habits and how they are not his business, but how they still affect our relationship

3. Just about being passive and not dealing directly with the issue

4. Typically we are fighting about the way money gets spent, but also we are both overworked and stressed out when we have these arguments

5. His idiot friend

6. Certain friends

7. Many disagreements

8. Nope

9. Same as above

10. When my S.O. is disrespectful or mean, when we aren't able to spend enough time together or starting to spend too much time together, texting vs calling

11. Yes... all of the above, not initiating in the relationship and not feeling loved and cared about in the way I want

12. The balance of time together vs friends/family

13. Driving

14. Money, sex, health

15. He doesn't give me enough time because he's so focused on everything else

16. Personal motivation

17. Social media

18. Him skipping school, because I want to be with someone who is motivated

19. Yes, politics. I am left wing and he is right wing, we don't discuss politics now and we almost never argue anymore

20. To have kids or not

21. No

22. His "best friend." Who completely ignores my existence even though we've been dating for six months. She makes sure she's next to him in all group pictures, still invites him as her plus one to things, etc. But he doesn't see it as weird. "She's just awkward" is what he says when I bring up her not talking to me

23. Communication issues, trust/jealousy issues

Have you ever ended a relationship based on a disagreement? If so, what was it?

1. No

2. Yes, because of a lack of equal effort in a long distance relationship

3. I ended a relationship because the other was not taking it as seriously as I was. We had been together for about six months and still most of the time, he just wanted to hook up and he was very sketchy about some things. I told him that I was at the point of my life where (I was 21) I was ready to find someone who wanted to settle down and do life with me., not just hook up. He didn't agree, I left.

4. I have, and I will again to maintain my connection to The Boy. All else is secondary to Him

5. Yes, religious and moral differences

6. I end relationships if/when I'm not interested in being in it anymore. Sometimes that's the other person treating me poorly or sometimes when I don't want to lead the other person on

7. Never

8. Yes, my ex was still accepting his brother who was a pedophile, and I refused

9. Nope

10. Yes, for keeping around people because they are backups for if we broke up

Do any of these sound familiar? A disagreement can be about something minor or major. How the two of you choose to respond or not, though, is what dictates how it affects your relationship.

A little bump in the road is nothing new to any of us, and odds are we'll always encounter them. Know when to draw the line, know when to kiss and make up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
