Is fighting about future normal?

2

We’ve been married 6 years, and every time I try to talk about what comes next — jobs, maybe moving, kids — she shuts down or starts yelling. Like last week I said maybe we can visit my sister in Pune, just to get out, and she said I only care about my family. See, I don’t even know what started it, but suddenly we’re screaming. She says I plan too much, I say she doesn’t care. But it’s not just this — she barely looks at me now. I cook, I clean, I ask how her day was… she just stares at her phone. Only. Sometimes I wonder if she’s waiting for me to fail na? Or maybe she already left and we just didn’t notice. My mom says every couple fights, but this feels different. Like we’re teammates in a war no one wants to win. Is this just marriage, or are we done?

    Honestly I've been thier too, my wife and I used to fight all the time about our future plans, she thought I was being too controlling and I thought she wasnt taking our plans seriusly. What worked for us was seperate conversations, like we'd talk about one thing at a time and try to find common ground, instead of bringing up everything at once. I also made a concious effort to listen to her, like really listen, and not just wait for my turn to speak. And yeah, it sounds silly but I started doing more chores and suprising her with small gifts, it sounds cheesy but it helped to ease the tension. Maybe try having a calm conversation with your wife, ask her whats bothering her and see if you can find a compromise
