Question by Ella S.: Are Disagreements in Relationships Bad?
I am 28, and have been with my boyfriend for about 8 months. Although I’ve been married before, and divorced, I feel as though I have much to learn about relationships. I love my boyfriend very much, but we disagree pretty strongly with each other about 3 times a week.
We get upset, argue a bit, then resolve the conflict with compromise and communication. My friends tell me that a healthy relationship does not contain these sorts of disagreements so often. They pride themselves on “never fighting.” I think they are wrong, but my boyfriend believes that happy couples should not fight this much. Is this bad, as they say, or are disagreements ok? Thanks!

Disagreements are OK, but it takes a *true* lover to give-in and allow the other to “win”. Not everyone will agree on everything, but there *must* be a mutual agreement in order for things to be healthy.
I think arguing is OK, but only to a small degree. I have been in several relationships that were disasters, but my current is probably the very best *ever*. Not that I always “win”, but my girlfriend does not let the little things get to her.
We have been together 2 years (in a week) and have *never* had arguments like I’ve had in the past with other girls. She brings herself *above* it and does not “need to win”. But from all the experience I’ve had with others, I’m sure my current could have had it worse if I had never had the interactions I’ve had with others.
It is all relative.
Good luck!
