My husband and I were in a relationship for 6 years before we got married. After our wedding last year, I was so happy because I finally became the legal wife of the man I love. We have two children, and he is a good provider for our family. But over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that we’ve been arguing a lot more often. I try to think that maybe he’s just tired from work, which is why he comes home in a bad mood. Sometimes I also can’t stop myself from arguing with him because I’m exhausted too from doing housework and taking care of our children. I think our stress and exhaustion are clashing, which is why we end up fighting even over small things. We were never like this before we got married. Back then, he was always understanding and appreciated my efforts in taking care of our children. Now it feels like his patience with me has become shorter whenever I do something he doesn’t like and it turns into an argument. Why is that? Is it because now that we’re married, we argue more often?
Why do couples start arguing more after the honeymoon phase?
