So you recently had your fairy-tale wedding and moved in with your husband. All might be well between you two, but it is when you begin to live together you discover the flaws in him. In fact, he also begins to discover the flaws in you. More often than not these flaws are trivial but they matter so much that you to fight over them. Before you make a mountain of a molehill, stop, think over, and watch your words. Here are a few silly things you could fight about:
1. Often losing stuff that comes in pairs
Be it a pair of socks or a pair of gloves, keeping pairs together is one thing your husband needs to be trained on. The worse is no matter how many times you point it to him things will still not stick together. It will go in as far as losing the cap to a pan that should be together after every use. He works as the culprit causing a ‘divorce’ of pairs. The price that you pay is pour out extra expenditure in acquiring the paired stuff again.
2. Arguing over your favorite icon
Each of you will have reasons to like soccer or a movie star. As your significant-other expresses his opinion on why he likes the other star, you most possibly don’t loathe but detest the fact that he isn’t appreciative of your liking, leading to quite a heated debate. Who knew your favorite icons were so important to save a marriage!
3. Setting the kitchen
The kitchen is certainly not men’s terrain. Once the dishes are out from the dishwasher, and it’s time to unload them and set into the cabinets, getting help from husband in doing so might not please you. He would be kind enough to turn off the telly and help stuff them, but once you enter the kitchen for your next session, you will realize things are totally haywire – you won’t find a spoon in its place. Then begins the exchange of confronting words. Honey, how did you expect a man to have a knack of kitchen arrangement in the first place?
4. Mixing up unwashed with clean clothes
Husbands have a kind of mind that cannot differentiate between washed or unwashed clothes. They also don’t make the effort to dump the to-be-washed into the laundry. They don’t even have to turn the washing machine on, but just leave them in the bucket to be loaded in the machine when it’s time for a wash. But they wouldn’t. Somehow that unwashed towel or clothes from previous use will make their way back to his wardrobe until you spot them in time and quarantine them.
5. The ideal temperature setting
It begins pretty well with both of you falling asleep with a good 16 degree Celsius on the air-conditioner…until only a little later one of you will either raise the temperature or almost turn it off. It won’t take any groping for the remote control. You are outraged enough to be up and about and pick a quarrel when while the world is sleeping.
6. The type of pizza
One of you likes jalapeno, and your significant-other who has a sweet tooth wants pineapple topping over the pizza. What would you do? Instead of creating drama for the guy taking the order, settle on a more personalized version of two different pizzas, one for each.
7. Favorite holiday destination
One of you might be a nature-lover – beaches, woods, mountains and ranches; the other is probably a lover of a more glamorous place – city lights, bustling streets, Las Vegas casinos. So while you have been saving money for your next vacation, you might almost call off the holiday because you didn’t agree upon one holiday spot. And guess what, you could shamelessly turn up at work while having left an official out-of-office note.
8. The way you make your bed
Somehow he forgets the standard way of making the bed even his mom taught him. It quite becomes a forbidden terrain for a man who never made his bed as a bachelor, and attempts to make one while he had overlooked what his mother taught him.
9. The right way to place a toilet paper
One of the silliest fights can involve arguing over how to position the toilet paper. One of you thinks it must go over; the other thinks it must go under. There’s no sacrosanct way to it, but hey, it’s not even worth inviting a divorce between you two.
Have you had any of these fights? We’re sure there are many more silly things you could argue about.
