my husband and I are fighting over dum stuff...

[bip]

Im in the process of moving now my husband and I are stressing we are not getting along...We were doing good but for the past couple of days we been on each other backs...... I know we all get up and downs with our husband/wife but this is stressing me when we argue over the stupidist things like packing stuff...........So I need your advise how to keep us not fighting over  stupid stuff over packing (LOL)

[jen46342]

every relationship goes through these things at one point or another...are you both happy and excited about the move? Is there additional financial burden with the move?

Can you guys take a break and have some ice cream together? lol  Packing is depressing and stressful.  Nobody likes to put their things in boxes and move.  I like the suggestion of you and your friends doing the packing, and then him and his friends can do the moving.  You can go have a margarita!!!

I think Im going to pack him up and send him off to UPS... (LOL) I can't wait until this move is done....

[anxiousmomtobe?]

Have a couple of your best friends over to help you back and let him off the hook.  It will nbe done faster and the way a woman wants it done......

And there's nothing like a hen party.

It's stress that causes these kinds of little nit-picky fights. Like you said, bip, it's stupid stuff. See if you can pack alone away from him for a while to see if you can defuse the situation.  Call him in when you need his help, otherwise get away from him while you pack.

You don't say what the "packing arguments" are about, but if he's criticizing you, tell  him you will back off the packing so he can do it himself. Otherwise, you'll do it your way. Does he really want to do all of it by himself? I doubt it.

Of course, you can always say, "Why don't you tell me what's REALLY bothering you? Because we both know this isn't about the packing!"  : )
