I'm starting to realize just how ridiculous most of the fights one gets into with one's significant other are. In the heat of the moment, they seem to have the-world-hangs-in-the-balance-life-or-death proportions. But later (or to other people), it's obvious how silly and trivial they often are.
My husband and I once got into a heated, nearly hour long debate over the definition of bread, and we were really upset at the time. It makes you question "Did I marry the right person? Does he know what bread truly is??" Which is, of course, intensely ridiculous and laughable.
It's just growing pains. Just remember that the next time you get into a major argument with your SO.
I was able to recognize the silliness the last time we had a slight spat, and it actually ended up making both of us laugh a lot. I saw the humor in it, and that reflected in my arguments. When you can both sense the humor and not take things (or yourselves) so seriously, it can turn a potential fight into a laugh for both of you. My over-done and extremely obnoxious mock venting did that for both of us today (including texting tongue-sticking-out smileys at my guy about thirty times just to be annoying).
I tried to find a clip of the scene of Tom and Violet having a fight in the Five Year Engagement ("I just want to be alone...with you here."), but sadly could not. (On that subject, I found that that movie was three times funnier when I watched it while drinking a Tipsy Float.)
