It’s inevitable, couples argue. Sometimes one of the two is having a bad day and something sets them off. Maybe it’s something that wouldn’t normally cause a fight, but on this day it does. It could be for a number of reasons, a bad day at work, a long ride in traffic, someone being rude, receiving bad news, their favorite sports team lost, or they’re just inexplicably feeling irritated or angry.
For whatever reason couples argue, there are some reasons that are more common than others. The company Method Cleaning Products commissioned One Poll to find out which arguments are most common. Many things on this list may seem innocuous, but the study says, “59 percent admit their domestic disputes can lead to the complete breakdown of the relationship.” They also discovered that “13 percent [get] into an argument about [some topics] on a daily basis.” Not surprisingly the study also found that “5 percent of women cohabiting with a male partner agree household tasks are disproportionately split,” and “more than half” of women believe they’re doing most of the work in the household.
Let’s check out the list and see if your and your partner’s arguments are a match to the study.
