When you start to argue a lot about little, stupid things it really means that something bigger is bothering you but you refuse to talk about it. So the pressure and anger builds up inside you slowly and it ends up "poking out" whenever something annoying comes up. It's like a teakettle. The pressure in the kettle builds and builds and finally some steam has to whooosh out somewhere.
I have advice here about how to have a serious talk -

you need to bite the bullet and really sit down and talk honestly. Think up anything and everything that bothers you about the relationship and tell it to your partner. Don't say "You are bad because ..." - instead say "I would really feel special if only I got a call once a week" or things like that. Figure out what is bothering you and then give actual examples of what you WOULD like instead of complaining about what is missing. That way you both have solid things to work on - and if you work on one thing a week, you can whittle down the list and get things running smoothly again. -- from Jenn
