I’m 21, and my boyfriend is 22. We both reside in the US. We are both doing our master’s in the US, and we have been dating for a year now. None of us has been in a relationship before, so this is our first relationship. Constantly, my boyfriend and I argue a lot over things that don’t matter, and we nag at each other. We fight almost every week. We love each other, we don’t cheat on each other, and our relationship is really healthy because there’s no unnecessary drama, but we both argue a lot. I don’t know if this is normal or not. People can tell we love each other, but the constant arguments every week haven’t made the relationship strong enough. He spends on me, and I also spend on him. Money has never been a problem for us—we are both doing well for ourselves.
We have tried different things to fix this, but nothing has worked. We argue every week and make up within the same week. So, we both agreed to go on a break to see if that would help, but I don’t know if we are doing the right thing. Can someone advise us on what to do, please? No insults. I love my boyfriend so much, and he loves me too, but the constant arguments from both sides have been a big issue. Please advise us. This is our second week of the break—he checks up on me, sends me money, buys me gifts—but we don’t communicate as often as we used to because of the break, and I miss him so much. Please advise us. I don’t want to lose my boyfriend. Thanks to everyone for your contributions and advice. We love you.
