Why are we fighting over small and stupid things?

We've lost sight of the bigger picture for some reason or another. Sometime the stress of life, relationship, work and other distractions, seems to cloud our better judgement. We end up fighting over the little things instead of stepping back, relaxing and realizing there is far more important things we are missing.

I've found that a lot of outside stress and other factors can lead to negative outcomes and fights between partners. It's a really terrible thing to see two people who care greatly for one another be so worn down that they resort to fighting over minuscule things. It's important to keep an open mind with your partner. Try to talk out your feelings, especially those outside stressors. Don't fight and go to bed angry, don't walk away, talk things out with your partner. Good luck to you both!

Sometimes, if there's a deeper issue in a relationship, a couple might engage in more fights in order to avoid the real problem. This is done to avoid the more extreme conflict that comes with the underlying problem. Talk about how you're feeling and make sure both of you feel listened to and understood.

Because sometimes even these small and stupid things make big and meaningful impact. I believe there is no small and stupid thing that can trigger a fight, there's always some reason behind it. Not every one has the same perspective on different matter, no matter small or stupid it may seem for some.

Because its easy. Distracts us from the large and scary things. But wars are won one step at the time, so fighting over small things isnt as bad as it sounds.

There may be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed. Try to identify what that is and try to talk about it and work it out.

maybe you guy are fighting over small and stupid things because you guys don't talk though it maybe talk though your problems so you guys can work it

If you keep doing that there is some sort of incompatibility issue you need to solve. I once knew a couple who made an annual income of close to 300,000 dollars per year. They were financially sound. They had no kids. But, they argued every day, even about the brand of oranges they would buy. When you look at it that way, it becomes clear that there is some sort of problem with the way they treated each other. If you believe that you are fighting about insignificant seeming things, you want to revisit how you're treating each other on a more simple level.

You hadn't mentioned who you are fighting with, it is the same for mostly everyone. If you two aren't communicating and something is up and bothering one of you, then that is bad. You should talk with them and if something is happening to you, then try and talk it out. If it's the other person, however, ask them.

It's a common thing for couples to go through, it might not even be those things that you're fighting about but maybe something larger and its important to note that. You should take sometime to just talk with your partner.
