1. They are stressed
There are plenty of ways people are stressed out. They either get anxious, avoid everything that is stress-related, or don’t even realize that they’re stressed until you say something to them and suddenly they get angry.
If you know that your spouse has a hard time at work or they don’t feel their best, it’s better to talk to them and discuss the problems before you say something that might trigger them into starting a fight.
2. They get easily angry
Some people have a lot of patience, while others might behave like they’re always on alert. But if your spouse gets angry a lot due to different reasons (some of them might not be real reasons at all), they might take it all out on you the moment you say or do something they don’t want.
If something like this happens and you also get angry, it might be just enough to start a big fight over nothing. Something like this happened to me one time when I was angry with someone in my family and I tried to refrain myself, but I ended up starting a fight with someone close to me just because they asked me something I didn’t want to answer.
3. Nothing satisfies them
Another reason why people fight is that they don’t like something and they are very negative towards other things as well. Let’s discuss a hypothetical situation, for instance.
You want to go on a holiday just for the two of you, so you can have a chance to relax and spend some quality time together, without any stress from work or other people.
Now you have to set a date, pick a destination, and a hotel to stay in. Your spouse is not okay with any of your suggestions. They don’t like the destination you choose, but they can’t come up with something better and there’s no date that suits their schedule. This might make you angry as well and this negativity can easily turn into a big fight.
4. They are jealous
Jealousy is one of the most common reasons why people fight or even break up. Even though it might be cute to feel that your partner is just a little bit jealous when they see you talking to someone else at a gathering or at a party, it’s not the same when the jealousy is on a different level.
If your partner gets easily jealous and you give off the impression that you did something wrong, that will immediately trigger them into starting a fight. An argument like this can be hard to handle, so the best thing you can do when something like this occurs is to have a very honest conversation.
