I've heard about couples loving each other and staying together for more than 20+ years, yet they're arguing ca. 2 - 3 times daily. Not about major things like economy, but minor things like having too loud sound on the TV, standing in the front of the fridge without moving so the other partner can grab something, the way the other person words themselves or said the wrong word although it was obviously what they meant, complaining about the SO's short attention span, about a silly joke that didn't make fun of anyone and so on.

A similar argument I've heard about earlier:
Partner 1: - I've heard about the new president. What do you think?
Partner 2: - Nice weather outside.
1: - Did you paid attention to what I said?
2: - Yes, I did. He's a funny guy. I wants to go outside.
1: - OMG!!! You didn't pay attention to what I said and didn't answer my question. What do you think about him? His policies!!!
2: - Do it matter?
1: - I wants to hear your opinion. You're just ignoring me and I'm so fricking annoyed now.
2: *Leave the room*
1: *Finds the SO* - If you don't want to talk about it, just tell me. If you're not interested, tell me. Say sorry for your behavior.
2: - I'm interested.
1: - Say sorry. Go on!
2: - I'm so sorry. Going to listening to you next time, honey!
1: - Thanks. But you're obviously not interested. *Leave*

Hello GAG Team!

Question's in the title! I've been on a couple dates with this woman. She's a couple years younger than me. Fun, free-spirited, and just my kinda girl personality wise (I'd give her a reward for most beautiful eyes and smile in Canada, could light up room).

My only points of apprehension at this point are that she doesn't have any formal education (past HS), and at current, doesn't have a job (and is only interested in working part-time currently).

I work full time in a corporate career, and am a full time student trying to complete my degree so I can advance in that career. My fear is that this difference in perceived motivation may become an issue down the line. She doesn't do much while she has been unemployed (from what she has explained to me... though, she is trying to find part-time work), but takes great care of her pet dog (which signals to me she may be good at looking after a family in the same way).

I'm wanting to start to settle down (in my own life), and look to build a meaningful relationship and ideally a family in the future (she says she is looking for the same).

So, all that being said girls and guys, what do you think? Would you pursue the relationship, or do you think the potential lack of perceived motivation will be an issue down the line?

Thanks for your input!

All the best,
