A straight gut-check

Is it normal to fight this much?

Fighting isn't the problem — HOW you fight is. People who repair well (own their part, come back, actually resolve it) can fight a lot and be fine. People who fight the same fight on loop are in trouble even once a month.

The real question isn't how often. It's: do your fights end somewhere, or just pause until next time? Resolution, not frequency, is the health metric.

These are the patterns — your situation has its own details. Tell Sided what happened and it gives you a straight, private read: are you overreacting, reading it right, or missing something.
