I am sure it's probably a mixture of work stress, money, life in general...but I have been super on edge lately. Work's been a lot to deal with...and oh yes, the monthly visitor is coming soon.
I feel like the FI and I are going through some growing pains too...we're both older (in our 30s) but are just at around 11 months together...things were going really easy, no fighting or anythingl. Lately, we've been doing this thing where we bicker and argue over something that the other said because both of us are explaining ourselves and way too much. I think that the FI's past made him used to full on fighting, but I am used to it being okay to just disagree and that's it without having to dig in the heels to defend onesself. In past relationships I had guys who didn't communicate at all which was the opposite.
Just last Sunday our sermon at church spoke to relationships and having open clear communication and how making conflict about defending yourself and 'digging in your heels' (my pastor's exact words) aren't the way to have a marriage and you should always just open up and listen...i don't think it's the end of the world...but is it just growing pains? or is it just me? doesn't every couple go through their first set of hickups to learn how to 'healthfully argue'?
