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*
