Being in love is magical… until it’s not! Whether you are a couple in a new relationship or you’ve been together for a long time, fights, arguments, and misunderstandings are a normal part of any relationship. Some of these fights are oh-so-serious, while some others are as silly as they can get. They do not threaten the relationship, but you cannot let go of it because it’s still an important fight. It might be dumb, but you know that it’s worth the fight. It might not last too long, but you know you’ve got to win. If you’re curious to find out what these fights are, grab your partner and read this one together because you’re in for one hell of a list. Here are eight dumb fights every couple has had at least once:
1. What’s Cooking?

One of the most relatable fights that every couple has is when they are deciding where to eat. You could be lying in bed and watching a movie together when one of you suggests that you order some food. The next thing you know, you’re arguing about where to order from, what to order, or sometimes arguing because you want the same thing too. Sounds about right?
2. It Wasn’t Me
If you’re a foodie couple, you know where we’re getting at. Picture this. You order your favorite dessert. You eat some of it and save the rest for a later time. After a long day at work, you’re looking forward to relishing the leftovers of your yummy dessert. But when you open the fridge, you notice that it’s missing! You know your partner has eaten it, they know you know too, but they outright deny it just to annoy you. If this scenario sounds too damn familiar, you’ve definitely had this fight!
3. Playing Hide And Seek

No, we aren’t referring to the bomb childhood game we used to play. We’re talking about when you hide your partner’s things because you don’t like them. It could be anything — a pair of socks, an (ugly) shirt, or even an action figure that you don’t like. Don’t worry; we’ve all been there! As silly as it sounds, this could mean cold war.
4. Night Fight
Let’s paint another picture for you. You’re just done watching your favorite movie, and you’re all set to get into bed. After snuggling up together, you fall asleep. What started as a comfortable nap soon becomes a war — the blanket war! You end up hogging the covers, or you spend the rest of the night trying to pull it away from your partner hogging it. Are we right, or are we right?
5. Too Hot, Too Cold

This one’s a no-brainer. Every couple has had at least one fight about the room being too hot or too cold. If one of you feels too cold, the other has to compromise. It’s never a win-win situation, and you are keeping count. You probably even annoyed each other at that staycation because you couldn’t agree on a temperature that works for both of you. Those couples who’ve found partners who enjoy the same temperature are honestly the luckiest ones ever.
6. It’s Mine
Have you ever “borrowed” a t-shirt from your partner and swore you’ll give it back, but when they ask you for it, you go back on your word? Well, guilty! Couples often fight about borrowing a hoodie or sweatshirt. It’s very common, and there are several movies, songs, and television series references about it too. All you F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans, remember when Ross and Rachel fought over the “Frankie says relax” t-shirt?
7. The Salt Issue

Couples can fight about almost anything, even if it’s about salt. When you’re cooking together, you argue about how much salt, water, sugar, spices (or anything really) should go into the cooking pan. You’ll probably also bring up past cooking blunders and throw them in each other’s faces to prove your point. Tell us, where’s the lie?
8. Your Memory Sucks
You may or may not have seen Dua Lipa at the mall that one time, but there’s no way in hell you’re willing to let it go. You probably remind your partner at irrelevant moments and make them mad. They don’t need to hear that you saw a “hot” celebrity when you went out while they ask you what you want to eat. And they counter this with something that leads to an argument. It finally ends in the two of you taking a dig at each other’s memory.
Being a couple is great and all, but it comes with its own set of challenges. It’s normal for couples to fight. But how you come out of that fight and move forward is what defines how strong your relationship really is. In the end, no matter how much you fight, you know you have found your person and cannot imagine your life without them. How many of these fights have you had with your partner?
