Minor Fights... Are they really "minor"?

Ok so I've been searching and reading A LOT these past weeks and had a question. I've mainly been surfing the LDR and Break Up forums since that's what's been on my agenda as of late. (I hope this is the right place to post this; I wasn't sure if I should put this in the Dating or Beak Up forums... but considering I see things end over this more then work out, I figure this might be the best place. If a mod thinks it's better else where, please, place it wherever is best. :))

 

The one thing I notice is so many things end over what people describe as "minor" fights or arguments. Now, I could assume I know what "minor" actually means, but I'm sure everyone has a different definition, and mine could be completely wrong. I feel like my relationship recently ended over "minor" fights that meant nothing to me - I mean, I can't even remember how they started or what they were about, let alone, that I even had one - but for my partner, they meant much more and he said they hurt him very much. :(

 

So I guess my question(s) is...

  • what exactly IS a "minor" fight?
  • why do we have so many when we obviously love the person we're with?
  • are they normal in any relationship (for me, specifically, an LDR) or not?
  • are they really a sign to end things?

 

Thank you all for your advice and point of views. :)

I think that people find themselves fighting over minor or small issues...when actually there are bigger issues ie: compatibility issues,... that are keeping them from getting along.

What minor things were you fighting about?

 

Not everyone fights all the time. The bf and I hardly ever fight.

 

The ex and I fought all the time. I can't even call him up to discuss our son without him starting a fight, threatening me, etc.

My bf and I fight about the silliest things sometimes. And these silly fights build aup and turn into huge ones over time. Mostly b/c of him...hes and insecure, immature, stubborn, hothead....did i mention a big baby too. iTS impossible to have a fight and get thru to him. Hes constantly playing victim when I am the victim. Always turns things around to be me. When hes wrong he wont admit it. After a year- it finally getting to me. the tru colors didnt start coming out unitl 6months into it. We arw still in this fight as i speak. Theres no way for it to be solved unless he calls and apologizes- otherwise im dun!! i dont deserve that crap. This made me think...hmmm all those little fights we had everyday, maybe they were serious issues just waiting to show its face.
