User post: Can Great Sex Make Up For Constant Fighting

user

\Think back to all the romantic movies you have seen over the years. Take for example "The Notebook," one of the best romances in a long time. If you really think about it, all they did is fight with each other over everything--they didn't get along. All they had was great sex and that physical attraction to one another. A more recent movie that I saw was "The Ugly Truth." The two characters in this movie did not get along, couldn't stand to be in the same room but they were attracted to each other physically and therefore they end up falling for each other. I am not saying that everybody fights and then they make up by having sex. I am just saying in some situations you will be mid-fight and then someone mentions something sexual and then you start laughing and get all flirty and forget why you were mad in the first place. Why do I know this? Because I have been in that type of situation. Believe me, I know these couples exist because I personally knew and know couples like this. They are extremely attracted to one another, have great sex, but fight constantly. Would you stay?

How many couples fight and don't get along but continue to stay together because they get along in the bedroom and how healthy is that?

    I couldn't stand that. Constant bickering is just too much for me, I like to be in a laid back relationship that proceeds at it's own pace. I'm fine with little fights, and arguing is an essential part of the relationship, but I can't stand the big, drag-out, broadway production style dramas that some women love to put on. That's the fastest way to turn me off and turn me out. Luckily, I've found someone who also appreciates a level head and adheres, like I do, to the Mary Poppins school of life. We take everything with a side order of levity and it makes for a wonderful, and very personal, relationship and the sex is better than with anybody else I've ever had. A spoonful of sugar does indeed help the medicine go down.

    I know exactly what your talking about...i've seen the ugly truth and your right some couples have that type of relationship where they fight constantly but have great makeup sex...it seems as if it works for them but in the long run i dont think that relationship will last that long...one of the two will get tired of living their relationship life that way...great sex isnt always the cure...not for the long hall anyways...Great Post!!!

    Take Care:)

    You can find someone to have great sex with without the fighting.

    I am in a battlefield of a marriage now. Over the last year it has been one battle after another. I am all for..wake up happy and enjoy your day but on the other hand, my spouse will hold grudges for days and seems to hate everything that I do, I just don't get unhappy individuals!

    Make up sex is great but not all worth the fightening!

    well my last relationship was exactly like this article. my ex and i would constant either real fight or just play fight just for the make up sex and believe me it was simply amazing to look at her after she would full on deck me in the jaw and just tell her she was sooo sexy when she got mad because she had a sexy little smirk on her face after she hit me and saw the blood coming from my mouth. then she would start kissing me and it was on nothing could stop that. rotflmao. we were together for almost 2yrs doing this on almost a daily basis and i just got tired of her flirting with the other guys she knew and i put an end to the relationship. but i mean we also had the more intimate days where there was no fighting just nothing but love. so you do have to find the delicate balance in the relationship. so i hope this little tid bit can help someone in the same position that i was in.

    Nope I don't think great sex and physical attraction would be enough for me in a relationship with someone that I am constantly fighting with. It just wouldn't be worth it in my opinion to stay together with someone like that, as there would be nothing but fighting and physical stuff going on. No real substance to the relationship at all and no real reason to be together. Unless I or the guy just loved using each other and loved fighting.

    Make up sex doesn't solve the problem that caused the argument. It just acts as a temporary buffer that the couple uses to relieve their anxiety and stress. And yes some people initiate arguments just for the prospect of make up sex. Is it healthy, who can say, its up to the individual to ask themselves how long will make up sex substitute for meaningful discussion about the issue that caused the conflict.

    As None said, perfectly I might add..."It will only go so far." /wink

    Well it is not healthy of course give a break that goes without saying but going to the subject it is also without saying that they are staying because of mutual lust which is actually a capital sin. For me it is about making love not having fun I tried it before and it does not work for it kind all or nothing when it come girlfriend/boyfriend relationship as I believe it should but I feel sorry for them because they are trapped by their lust and it is kind of road to perdition my advice leave each so you can have a chance to have a healthy relationship.
