No matter how perfect your relationship is, there's always room for a couple to get into a fight. It doesn't have to mean you're yelling at each other and packing your bags, but even passive aggressive sighs and normal disagreements can be considered fights. Personally, the worst part of fighting is the aftermath. It's when the two of you are sitting on opposite corners of the couch, when one of you storms off, or when you're both staring at each other, trying to figure out what the hell just happened. Luckily, there are a few couple arguments that aren't as bad as they seem that shouldn't lead to this kind of blow out. And, not so shockingly, they seem to be the most common.

I feel pretty lucky that both my boyfriend and I are laid back and not the confrontational type, but I'm also not naive enough to think there won't be a time where we disagree on something and voice our opinions about it. Some fights? Those should be taken seriously. Fights about communication, finances, or work-life balances can be big, huge deals. But if you're b*tching at your partner because they told you to turn left when you should've turned right, I think you'll be OK. These nine arguments between couples aren't as bad as they seem, despite how serious they feel when you're having them.
