I went to 'peek' at the link you give and then read the entire article. It's hilarious in its content.
My wife is Spanish and I am English. If there were any polemical 'differences' -along the theme shown in the article- the years have 'worn the edges off' these and probably obliterated most, if not all of them by now.
I think that most of the things mentioned in the article are usually surfacing in the early years of a relationship, in the early years when both partners are young. But that's no precise, complete, answer, for we are all different and circumstances vary, don't you agree? The years moderate some of our personality, our character (I suppose the years actually 'build' on our character), our 'reactions' to things.
In the case of that link and the young people involved it's much easier to suppose that they are being themselves, 'competing' with each other, and simply having lots of fun in that relationship.
Great link! Thanks for showing it.
Best wishes, as always,

Funny thing is I never seem to get into arguments, my previous relationship lasted three & a half years & there were only 2 memorable arguments. The girlfriend before that - not a single argument.
I used to think of arguments as being a bad sign, a couple about to split up argues a lot more than two people in a happy relationship. My own experience though has told me otherwise, both of the ex girlfriends I mentioned one day simply turned round & told me they wanted to split up. This struck me as really unfair because there never seemed to be any reason to split up, I hadn't done anything wrong as far as I knew & we were getting on just fine. If there was something really bugging her about me surely she'd shout at me about it if it really got so bad as to threaten a relationship?
I've always found arguments easy to avoid, it just takes a change of attitude. Regardless of how (un)important something is to you, if your partner gets angry about it then it is clearly important to them. Therefore it should be important to you. If the two of you view a problem as having the same level of importance you can discuss rather than argue.
Maybe I shouldn't be such a pushover

You -a pushover? lissen -Anyone tries pushing you over I want you to send a call-sign into the night sky -my atavar showing the outline of Captain LokuMarvel- and in the twinkling of a SHAZAM I'll be there at your side -unless "House", or "The Simpsons" is on or.... -look just send the call-sign, if I can't make it I'll signal you back with this nippy 5-in-one- torch I got at Lidl's the other day.
Do we have a deal?

Not sure that I understand about your multiple spacings problem as I can't find any in your posts, unless I can't find them for looking. Do you mean multiple spaces in a sentence or multiple lines between paragraphs?

On the other hand it may be the work of Captain Marvel's arch enemy, Dr. Sylvester ...yeeesss..that's it! Dam' his schemes!....this looks like a job for "SHAZ..." (wifey has just sellotaped my mouth up, but I will return in my cape and boots, as soon as I can find a way to remove this indistrial tape without ruining my beautiful lips).

Erm... as for not quarrling at al v u ex, don u think that's wierd? I haf a friend too, who doesnt quarrles v his ex AT ALL, but in the end, they still broke up. But another couple that I knw who's always having a go with each other, they're still vy loving after all these times. Mayb it's jz the way u argue at things, and ur maturity level. Guess I'm jz not mature enuf to make an arguement interesting yt ;P
Anyway, hope u haf better luck in ur love life next time. Girls arent so unpredictable, really ;P Thx 4 recommending the site!
