"We are never on the same page", "Let's agree to disagree". These are some of the common phrases couples use on each other during arguments. However, there is no harm in having disagreements. It’s a natural part and parcel of any human relationship and it can boost your relationship as well, if it's constructive. But not all arguments are healthy and it’s important to spot the difference between a toxic argument and a constructive one. Anuradha Gupta, founder and CEO of Vows For Eternity and Hitesh Chakraworty, Relationship Expert have shared insights on how you can spot the difference.
5 Signs Your Arguments With Your Partner Are Unhealthy
Here are the 5 signs you can look for to identify an unhealthy argument:
Frequent And Escalating Fights
No matter how hard you try, there will be arguments between you and your partner. However, if those arguments are frequent and escalate quickly, it’s a big red flag. If you find disagreements on petty things soon blow up into full-scale fights, it’s an indicator of underlying issues that need quick attention. Hitesh Chakraworty said, “Healthy arguments should aim for a solution, not escalation.”
Personal Attacks And Name-Calling
Personal attacks and name-calling are other big sign that indicates unhealthy arguments. Hitesh Chakraworty said, “When your arguments devolve into personal attacks, name-calling, or insults, it shows a lack of respect and a shift from resolving the issue to hurting each other. This kind of behaviour can damage the trust and respect that are fundamental to a healthy relationship(ways your partner can support in your healthy lifestyle).
Constant Blame And Lack of Accountability
Constantly blaming each other and refusing to take accountability for the actions, are indicators of unhealthy behaviour. It’s a big sign that your arguments are taking a negative turn. In a healthy relationship, there is mutual respect and willingness to recognise and apologise for mistakes.
Constant Interruptions And Talking Over Each Other
When you struggle to listen and instead focus on being heard, it reflects a lack of respect for each other’s point of view. If you don’t let each other speak and put your respective points of view, it’s a sure-shot sign of an unhealthy argument.

Avoidance Of Conflict
When you both try to avoid conflicts to keep the peace, it can lead to unresolved issues and bottling up of emotions. This can create a sense of distance (how to maintain long distance relationship) and unresolved tension, which can create a big issue in your relationship.
Recognising these signs is important to ensure a healthy relationship.
