question
Do couples who argue a lot actually last longer?
Megan Torres · March 1, 2026
My therapist said that couples who argue healthily tend to have stronger relationships than those who avoid conflict. But my parents argued constantly and got divorced. Is there research on this? What's the difference between healthy and unhealthy arguments? My boyfriend and I barely disagree and I'm starting to wonder if that's actually a bad sign.

Wait, are you dating my ex? 😂 But seriously, this is textbook avoidant behavior.

Your ex sounds like my ex's long-lost twin. The audacity of these men.

Girl, RUN. I stayed in a similar situation for 2 years and it only got worse.
