What do couples fight about? The last, and only, time I had a fight with someone whom I dated was when Clinton was in office. I'm working on a play, trying to write an argument between a married couple and I realized that I have no idea what couples really fight over.
Any and all information will be extremely appreciated.

Anything, everything and nothing.......lol
Money, sex (the lack of), discipline of kids, weight, hair, food, where to go, what to do, religion, politics, weather, tv shows, sports, doctors, dentists, clothes, chores, lawn mowing, laundry, groceries, toothpaste lids, brand names, shopping, housework, friends, nights out with or without each other, hunting, fishing, camping, music, pets, etc., etc.
Put it this way, if it exists, it can be fought about.....and probably has been.......lol

In my experience, couples can fight over anything and everything. Even the smallest detail can be an argument. However, you need to pick your battles and let a lot of things go. Money is probably the most common battle. He goes out and buys a motorcycle and she doesn't approve because they didn't talk about it. She thought they were saving for a new car. So she tells him, okay, if you want to kill yourself, make sure your life insurance is paid up. Couples can fight over any domestic matter, relationships, including friends and family, pets, politics, movies, music. Usually in soap operas somebody is always fighting, so that might be something to check out. Good luck. ( I'm glad you have little experience in this area.)

Everything. The reason the shows like 'Everybody Loves Raymond' are such successes are because people can relate. Watch a couple episodes. It can be leaving clothes on the floor, not picking up your dirty dishes, not putting a new toilet paper roll on the holder after you use the last! Haha! It is usually the rediculous mundane stuff that can turn into the biggest (and looking back, funniest) arguments. You want something people can relate to.

She wants to be appreciated, not taken for granted. She wants to hear kind words and words of affection, anything, just talk to her. He never talks. He just comes home from work, slaps her on the behind, asks what's for dinner, grabs a beer from the fridge and sets himself down in front of the boob tube until she calls him to dinner. After dinner he sets himself down on the "throne" and reads the paper for half an hour while she cleans up after dinner.
He works hard all day to make a living for the family. He's on the phone, in meetings, putting out fires, and giving it his all to stay in the boss's good graces. Sometimes he works late to stay ahead of the game. All he hears when he gets home is where have you been? Why didn't you call sooner? I had plans for a nice dinner. Why do you have to be away from home so much? Why can't you help ME more? You don't understand that I'm home all day with the baby and have no one to talk to, I just want to talk. You love your work more than you love me. Are you having an affair?

Most couples fight over money and how to raise the kids.

Yes I do they used to be considered the local cabaret, once they had a few drinks inside them all hell would let loose, the air would turn blue and it invariable ended in tears, they split up about a year ago so alas no more free cabaret.

my boyfriend and i fight when i ask his opinion on things and his answer is ALWAYS "i don't know", No matter what he just is like not capable of stating his opinion. or i will ask a plainly stated question like "what do you want for dinner?" and he say "what do you mean?" these 2 situations always cause arguments because i cannot help but be Rude when he acts so dumb.

I would say the 2 most common things that couples argue about are:- Money and Sex!
Men don't seem to worry about money as much as women. And women don't seem to worry about sex as much as men!! Hope this helps.

My husband and I don't really fight, we occasionally bicker over silly things like uhm...what's for dinner or what to watch on tv.
