Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ran in the morning show. Yeah, you always read the
number one reason couples fight is over what money?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Money?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
It's usually money. So we were having this conversation earlier,
GANI was talking about this list of reasons why couples
fight written by who wrote this list?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Let me look, this was done by Visual Capitalist.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Is it from a couple's therapist or something like that? Okay,
so an interesting list of reasons couples fight. Is money
on the list?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
Money is on the list?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yes, okay, So okay, ready tell me why I'm fighting
all the time, because you're probably gonna get it right.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Right.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
So they say that it's kind of different depending on
the age group that you're in. So eighteen to forty four,
most people are fighting about money and communications style, while
couples over the age of forty five are arguing more
about relationships with extended family and life decisions. But the
biggest reasons people are fighting, there were like ten of them.
You want all of them? Yeah, okay, I'm gonna start

(00:59):
with ten and then go to number one.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Tell us, I want to know are.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
You and your significant other arguing about sex? That is
a big one. Apparently, number ten, number nine, how each
person argues. So arguing is okay, but sometimes one person
is more of a jackass to the other.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, yeah, how you handle it? That's a major issue.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
That's a communication thing.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
So yeah, I was actually talking to one of my
friends the other day about how I think the most
important thing that you don't find out about a relationship
until it's too late is how the other person suffers. Like,
when somebody is going through something, how do they deal
with that thing? That's bad because it's such a big
deal in a relationship, and some people are terrible, some
people are great. Number eight health or lifestyle decisions. People

(01:42):
are arguing about that.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, like go to the doctor if something is wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
You stop smoking all day every day. That's not good
for you.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Froggy, I could there's a list whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Number seven life decisions. I guess that's a pretty big one.
Number six amount of quality time spent together.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
So we argue about the amount of So if I
am with you and I'm having an opportunity to have
quality time, why should I spend it arguing with you?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Exactly?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Well, you need to get you need to get these
things out of the way. I get it.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
That is a good point. Number five relationships with family,
for sure.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I can't see that.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Number four household chores. Number three communications styles, which I
think kind of goes along with how they argue. Number
two was money. And number one tone of voice or attitude.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Oh boy, I'm getting I get in told them for
that all the time.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Oh my god. The amount of times that I've been
in an argument and I'm like, whoa, hey, start over,
I don't like that tone. You need to back that up.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Wow. Okay, So we're most of us, so some of
us are in relationships. Do any of these things apply
to us?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yes, so many, of course. Oh my god. Number one
to heratitude, sure.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
That I always get in trouble. If you get in trouble,
I get to jump with my tone gratitude. And then
I always tell my husband I'm like, I don't think
you hear how you're talking right now, And he's like,
oh no, I know.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I'm like, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
So I always be like, why are you yelling? I
don't understand this? What's the volume about?

Speaker 5 (03:16):
I just said that the Spencer yesterday, Spencer, why are
you what?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Talk to me? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
And then you know, Brandon on the other side of
I'm not yelling. Well, now you're not yelling, but you
were yelling a second ago.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
So Nate out there in the dating room, you really
want to do that.

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Much?

Speaker 7 (03:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Scary? What's up?

Speaker 8 (03:35):
I get dinged on the quality time thing because after
a long day and night and we go out and
we party or do whatever, I come home and I
just fall asleep.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And she goes, you can fall asleep on me. This
is my time.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Now she doesn't spend enough time with you.

Speaker 8 (03:51):
The time we spend is supposed to all be quality,
but I still need my sleep. So sometimes all this
does off and she'll be like, and she'll go into
the bathroom and then come back out and I'm all
ready you like.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Snoring, and she goes, what are you doing?

Speaker 8 (04:03):
So?

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, so that that's a point of contention. Well I know,
but you know what, she's mad that you're falling asleep
on her. You should look at her and say, well,
at least I'm on you. This is my material baby. Look,
you know, relationships are hard. They just are. You know,
there's payoff, you know when they work, but they don't

(04:24):
always work.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
You know, everybody's got something that they If someone says, oh,
our relationship.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Is perfect, you are full life?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Are you lying about something?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
The brown word? Texting?

Speaker 6 (04:36):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
What about kids on that list? Parenting styles and arguing
over you know, raising your kids?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Of course, I mean I think that would be family members.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. And I
think Nate is queuing something up over there, and he's busy.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
He's talking to someone, Nate, you are you done?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
He's flirting with people? Why he's always flirting anyway? What
do you got, Nate?

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Evan, okay, give me Evan here? Hello, Evan, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Evan?

Speaker 9 (05:06):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (05:06):
I would just lap into that list as I'm driving
at work.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Well, what's so funny about the reasons we fight? Talk
about it?

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Well, my partner and I just have kind of complicated families,
and it's always interesting dealing with that.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
It's just I don't know, I need to I need
to see the list of the ten things because I'm
driving at.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Work, and so I've texted in for you guys to
post it.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Okay, let's do that. Can you post that and give
We'll give full credit where you got it from. Yes, okay.
Arguing about family, though, Evan, Arguing about family is an
interesting thing, because you're stuck in the middle between your
family and your partner, you know, and sometimes you have
to take your family's side because they're your family, and
sometimes you take your partner's side because they're your partner.

(05:55):
And I can see how that can get really tricky.

Speaker 9 (05:58):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Is that the issue with you guys?

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Sometimes? Yeah, but we're I mean, we've got the best.
This is the best healthiest relationship I've ever had. We're
about to have three years. And so just navigating through
all ten of those types of things for relationships has
been really great.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
You know.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Definitely tone and like when to call the doctor, when
to do all that.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Wow, So a lot of these things on this list
apply to you, Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yes, I think I think all ten of them.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
You know what, relationships are tricky, and it's like walking
through a minefield. Sometimes you got to walk on eggshells
because you know what can trigger some issues, and so
you that's a part of being a partner with someone.
It's it's the same time thinking you're going to change
someone or they're going to change you know that that's
that's the tricky one that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 7 (06:51):
Realistic yeah. Yeah, especially when you're already adults. You've already
got your you know, communications ways and your love language,
and everything's set in stone so that when you're lucky
enough to find a partner that it just meshes with
it works out. But there's still those challenging days.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Of course, oh without doubt, and that's normal.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Are your mother's coming and she booked a one way ticket, right,
you know.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
It's also important, I think, and I'm just kind of
thinking out loud as I'm coming up with this. It's
important to sift through what's important and what isn't the
things what is worth the fight, like the little petty
things like they never you know, put the lid on
the peanut butter and leave it out with it, versus
the deep rooted communication issues and where you're.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
Not being later he is the toilet toothpaste out. The
toothpaste is a.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Thing, Yeah, the toothpaste.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Why are we going to argue about toothpaste? You know?

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, But those little things add up and after all
you're like, God, you irritate a living crap out of me.
All right, looking, look, Evan, it's great talking to you.
Best of luck, and here's for another three years for
you guys.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Congratulations, Oh absolutely, thank you. Have a great day everyone,
you two.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Kelly on line twenty says the list is missing something.
Oh let's see, hey, Kelly, what's missing from this list.

Speaker 9 (08:06):
I didn't hear anyone mentioned chores. I had a fight
with my husband yesterday about how he doesn't do enough
chores around the house.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I think there was something on the list that was
actually I think like number six or seven. Let me
double check.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah, she's double checking choice.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
That's okay.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
So so he has and you have assigned chores things
that you are responsible for getting done around the house.

Speaker 9 (08:28):
You know, we should have a better system like that.
But you know, we're actually driving to Disney World right now,
and we had to clean the whole house yesterday, and
I felt like I was doing everything. So I pumble
him out to things, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
And how does he respond to that?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Pretty well?

Speaker 5 (08:45):
But then you know, he gets a little.

Speaker 9 (08:46):
Bit defensive sometimes and that's where the argument comes by.
But then once you're done, you come back together and
you're like, sorry, that was so dramatic for no reason.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Kelly. You're on the way to Disney World. Is he
in the car with you?

Speaker 9 (08:58):
He is he's sitting right next to me as well.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
So he is he driving?

Speaker 9 (09:06):
Yeah, he's driving, and yeah, okay, hey, do you argue
about his driving?

Speaker 4 (09:13):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
Do you argue about his driving?

Speaker 9 (09:17):
You know, that's also a little things thing that we
argue about sometimes.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
The left wing. You can be in the right lane.
Don't get pulled over.

Speaker 9 (09:23):
I'm like, please, don't get a ticket while we're driving
twelve hours.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Okay, Well, you're looking at you're looking out for him. Yeah,
I just find this very interesting that you're talking about
in me is right there?

Speaker 4 (09:35):
You do?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
You know that right?

Speaker 6 (09:36):
We're very open about this.

Speaker 9 (09:37):
He's aware, no secrets.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Okay, but that was your point of view. What would
he say on that list that you feel he feels
you should work on.

Speaker 6 (09:47):
Let's see, so the same thing about it, Like about yesterday.
I have a different point of view of like I
look at the bigger picture and Kelly focuses on the details.
I was like, hey, let's make the furniture. Let's like
get the big things done first and then focus on
like organizing and stuff. That's why we disagree, and that's
when things getated sometimes.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah, we have different priorities.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
That's different.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Okay, Well, it sounds like you agree on the things
that you find about, which is interesting.

Speaker 9 (10:12):
That's one thing I guess.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, Well, to be able to to be able to
point out and admit your your shortcomings. I mean, that's
a great thing. It's it's it's good. I guess if
you don't have any shortcomings, you you do have shortcomings, Foggy,
and you know you do.

Speaker 9 (10:29):
I'm just kidding for eight years, so let's go with it.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
You sound overall just you know, speaking with you this
few moments, you sound like it's all, well, what's up?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
CONDI Well, I was just wondering in the room. I
know Danielle said, maybe tone for her Elvis. What is
it that you think causes the most fights between the
two of you? From Alex's perspective.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Uh, I'd have to look at the list. You know
what I would like to know? I mean, he's he's
he's not here to answer that I would like to.
I would like for him to tell me he's. I
don't think he's ever told me the things I should
work on to make our relationship better. Okay, really, wow,
I'm damn sure gonna find out. But I can come

(11:15):
up with a list of his, of course. But if
he doesn't tell me, then maybe there isn't a problem.
Maybe I'm more perfect than I think. Anyway, all right, look,
best of luck for your trip together to Disney World,
and thanks for listening to us. We appreciate it.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
