Fighting all the time

I have been with my BF for 6 months. I'm 21 and he's 26. The past two months we have been fighting nonstop. Its starts out with really petty stuff, but then one of us gets really mad on how the other responds, then our fight gets worse and becomes much bigger then it needs to be. There is a lot of love in this relationship and we both want it to work out. My BF is very dedicated to doing whatever needs to be done to make this work. I'm just concerned that we've only been together 6 months and we're fighting like cats and dogs. Is this a tell tale sign that we aren't meant to be together? Or does every relationship at one of point or another go through this?

Welcome to the board resurrection1,


At 6 months, while in the 'honeymoon' phase, that's a lot of fighting.

It's not going to work out if you can't get through six months without all of this fighting. A relationship has to be harmonious in order to work, and yours is not. You both need to move on.

"Is this a tell tale sign that we aren't meant to be together?"
Yes.

"Or does every relationship at one of point or another go through this?"
Only the ones that don't work out.

Welcome to the board resurrection1,


While I don't know what your fighting about, I would say that you are fighting too much for the short amount of time that you have been together and it isn't a very good sign for the relationship. If you want to try and save the relationship, you are going to have to pinpoint what is causing all this fighting and see if it is something that can be fixed.

The fights will always start usually about BF feeling strongly about something opposite of what I feel. But it's stuff like eating healthy choice meals and going to see a certain movie. Most of the time BF will be so set in stone in his thinking that he won't even talk about it. Then after making me so
