Guys, what makes you put up with fighting?

I often see men putting up with women's crazy overreactions. Staying quiet even if they don't agree. I wonder sometimes if I am even worth sticking around for. I worry if I voice what I am angry about, or If I voice that something hurt me that I will just be blown off. I don't want to worry about being angry and he leaving me because I am upset with him.

Fighting can actually be a good thing in a relationship if you both value each other and respect each other , it’s a tricky thing but sometimes arguing with each other is a sign that you both love each other , if your partner walks in another room to get space from you after a fight that is fine, if they are leaving the house then usually that means they are up to no good , you got to remember you are both indifferent people that will butt heads on occasion, all that matters is you fix it before running to someone else, realize you can’t always be right and they are always wrong , wear each other’s shoes and make each other a priority , Make up sex is one of the best things Most girl’s don’t realize that sex is how a man expresses his love to her if she constantly withholds sex from him he is going to get moody and think you are up to something , Most girl’s don’t see it that way and that’s where relationships start to go bad , All guys have Egos that’s how we are made , we need to feel wanted and valued by our girl , if she makes us feel unwanted and unvalued and she starts disrespecting us , he will start losing respect for her and start treating her like shit and if that goes on for to long he will start being open to another girl that is boosting his ego , or he will just walk away from you for good. Not saying you have to spread your legs for him everyday but let him know you value and respect him , Guys also love affection , when she comes over to him and wants to be in his arms , He will feel wanted from her and guys love that shit , Kiss him and let him know you aren’t going anywhere that you adore him , if you can’t do this for a guy then you are best not to get into a relationship period , Guys are very territorial and will set boundaries , it’s not control it’s respect , Remove selfishness for each other and love will grow

I would say depends from your mentality, nationality and cultural background. In Italy for example, when you listen to conversations, or even on the street they seem always arguing, having an argument. So it could be, that after a week there, you would appreciate it having some rest for your ears, up to the point where life s getting boring. On the other side, it is said, that American people always try to be nice, what implies, that you ll never know them... A few weeks ago, I just watched a young Italian lady on the bus, having a phone call. To subsum my observations, it was like every time, she said something, fire shooting out form her eyes... men would you like to ride such a horse?

I’m still learning how to deal with conflict in relationships but I’d rather her be emotional and real than hide how she feels. If she didn’t communicate how could I know?

And if he doesn't care? Then it's time to move on?

Usually. Why stay around if your partner doesn’t care

I take the good with the bad, as long as she has enough good to offset the bad.
