Is it normal to feel this way

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 4 years. We have our ups and downs but recently we have lots more downs especially with our long distance relationship. Well I know I'm not perfect, but it is normal to want to be "right" or "win" all the time? Like for instance, if we get into an argument, is it normal to want him to apologize or just to be a bigger person by calling me first?

    I guess it's a rather common situation for many couples. I understand how you always feel the need to win the arguments and feel reluctant to give in.

    Your situation is normal but it's not good for your relationship. Countless couples break up because of arguments over some unimportant things. It can be dangerous for you to be ambitious in arguments. You should understand that it's not necessary for your boyfriend to always be the one who gives in.

    Your relationship with your boyfriend is so much more important than the arguments.

    You and your boyfriend should really listen to and understand each other more. It doesn't really matter who calls another first. What matters is that you love each other. Calling him first doesn't necessarily mean that you give in but you care about this relationship and don't want to lose him. Always talk to your boyfriend and tell him you love him.

    Expressing your love for him and showing understanding is always the key to a long-last relationship.

    Wish the best for you and your boyfriend :)
