1. The argument where you make rash assumptions.

Sometimes, youraggressiveness can get you into lots of unnecessary trouble. You are the kindof girl who acts impulsively and sometimes, irrationally. You always tend totrust your instincts and you have a tendency to always rush into conclusions.You don’t necessarily even have all the facts straight yet. You haven’t evenheard all sides of the story. You aren’t afraid of confronting people basedentirely on a hunch or a gut feeling.

2. The argument where you’re just a little too honest foryour own good.

Honesty isalways the best policy especially in relationships. The best kinds of couplesare those that don’t keep secrets from one another. They respect their partnerenough to know that they are deserving of the truth. However, one thing thatnot too many people say about honesty is that it should always come with goodtiming. You don’t always have to be completely honest all of the time. Thereare appropriate moments for when the truth should be laid out in the open andyour aggressiveness sometimes drives you into being honest during the mostinopportune of times.

3. The argument where you criticize him for his faults.

It takes a greatman to be able to take criticism. It takes an even greater man to handle beingon the receiving end of criticisms on a regular basis. You just can’t help butcriticize your man because that’s just your personality. You aren’t afraid ofcalling people out on their faults. 


4. The argument where you never relinquish your role as theshot caller in the relationship.

A relationshipis supposed to be like a team. You have to be able to trust each other to makedecisions on behalf the relationship as a whole. However, you have a verydifficult time relinquishing control in the relationship and your man can getfed up. He maybe wants to take the steering wheel every once in a while but youare always reluctant to loosen your grip.

5. The argument where your boyfriend mistakes your need forsocial interaction with flirting.

You are a socialbeing. You always need to be interacting with other people. You like to beheard and you always like expressing yourself. However, sometimes, boyfriendscan misconstrue this desire to interact with other people as a desire to flirtwith other people.

6. The argument where you start criticizing the people hechooses to associate himself with.

He likes hisfriends. That’s why they’re his friends. He hates it whenever you start tellinghim that you don’t like them. It hurts his feelings, in fact. But you justcan’t help it. You are a very picky person and you don’t like being around justanyone. If you see that his friends are bad news, you aren’t afraid of lettinghim know about how you think of them.
