Last night I went out to dinner with friends and we got seated next to a husband and wife who were clearly having an argument. They ate in silence and then halfway through their meal, she burst into tears. Though I know it's impolite to stare, we just couldn't help ourselves!

It's no secret that Spencer and his younger sister Stephanie don't get alone, but it seems like he constantly goes out of his way to be mean to her. If he's not reminding her how much he dislikes her then he's making her look foolish in front of her friends, and last night's episode of
The Hills proved just that. As we all know, families can be complicated, so tell us, have you ever had an contentious relationship, like Stephanie so clearly does, with anyone in your family?

Dear Sugar,
I have been broken up with my ex girlfriend for three months — we had been together for more than four years. After the breakup we talked occasionally and our friendship was pretty solid. She recently flew to another city for a job interview and we got into a fight.

Whether he starts them more than you, or you
rock the boat more than he, fights between couples are relatively normal. And while some couples steer clear of those
touchy subjects, there are some issues that are not easily avoidable, thus becoming regular bones of contention. So do you have any re-occurring fights in your relationship?

Even if you’re about as easy-going as they get, disagreements among friends, family, co-workers, or significant others are inevitable. Often, through numerous conversations and a lot of back and forth, a mutual consensus can be reached, but sometimes there’s no end in sight. But before you throw in the towel completely, I have a few tips for learning how to agree to disagree.

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. After much thought and discussion, we decided to move in together. The first month things seemed to be going very well.

I don’t consider myself a competitive person, but I can get pretty feisty during a round of
Guitar Hero or a game of Scrabble. There’s nothing wrong with a little competition in a friendly game, but what about when it comes to a relationship? I’ve always kept my tiny competitive edge away from my significant other, but I’ve seen some couples duke it out over Monopoly or worse, their roles at work.

Dear Sugar,
I am in a relationship with a wonderful guy and the only problem we have is me — I cannot control my jealousy. I take
every look or stare he gives another woman as a demerit to myself, leaving me wondering why I'm not good enough. I know a look is just a look, but I can't help but take it personally.

At dinner with a friend, your own conversation quickly turns to that of the older couple seated at the table next to yours when you overhear them in the midst of a serious argument. Though you try to mind your own business, it’s impossible not to get caught up in the throws of their
fight.
Before you know it, the husband is proceeding to berate his wife, and divorce and previous infidelities are mentioned.

After the
big day is over, I can only imagine how exhausted the bride and groom must be, and I know when I'm tired, I get cranky and easily irritated. Sure, honeymoons are all about celebrating each other and relaxing after the mayhem of planning a wedding, but being a newlywed doesn't automatically make you immune to arguments. A week in a remote destination can be a lot to handle so ladies, knowing you're only human, tell me, did you and your hubby argue on your honeymoon?
