I recently befriended a heterosexual couple (yes strictly friends ) and I can't say I ever wondered what they argue about. Because it could be 10 million different things and that's just not interesting to me.
You can apply this logic to literally any subject. For whatever reason it strikes a nerve, so ok, so be it. I’ve wondered what other heterosexual couples argue about. I think it’s human nature to be curious. I was presented with a new situation and I’m curious about it. To answer your previous question, I have no preconceived ideas of what those arguments might be. Or I guess you could call them issues. The lesbian couple I befriended, did tell me that they allow each other to have all the male friends that they want. Because they don’t see that as threatening. Female friends are a different story. They see that as possibly being more threatening. It’s just interesting to me. Human nature in all forms…I don’t think it needs some type of justification.
My very good friend is a lesbian. I said to her years ago that it must be much more calm in a same sex relationship because they are more likely to think and "tick" the same, certain typical topics men and women fight about are not applicable. She said that is true but also, topics get discussed to death because women like to discuss more than most men.
I'm going to guess that they argue about money, and about sex and loyalty, and about family just like everyone else does. (or almost everyone else) and that each couple has their own things they fight about, including nothing more than waking up on the wrong side of the bed and feeling cranky. Because they are people, just like everyone else is people, they are going to find the same sort of things to worry about and to fight over.
I honestly put some thought into this, and I don't think there are really that many differences between straight and gay relationships. Sometimes, I chuckle because some of the arguments I get into with my partner are very similar to those that my parents used to get into when I was a kid. What should we have for dinner tonight? How should we spend our money? Should we get a dog?
There are often less defined gender roles than what you'll find in opposite sex relationships, but at the end of the day, we're pretty much regular, boring couples like everyone else.
The toilet seat comment cracked me up, lol
So...in your household is the seat permanently "up"?
Years ago I used to read the Dan Savage column back when he was in the Village Voice. This was the 90s. One that I remember went something like, "Gay men, do you ever have those moments when you realize, 'DAMN, I really AM a big-ass <bleep>?' He said he had one of those moments the night before when coming home with his boyfriend. They got into an argument over whether the Broadway or London production of "A Little Night Music" was superior and that they almost broke up over it. When he got home, he looked in the mirror and said, "DAMN, I really am a big-ass <bleep>"
So maybe something like that fits the OP's question!
No I didn’t include in the question the same arguments or same type of arguments because I think that’s obvious. Of course you do. But I’ve always been curious if you have a different kind of arguments or issues. Ones that heterosexuals might not have to have or things that come up that are unique to your relationships. Just a curiosity. I have no motive behind these questions. I recently befriended a lesbian couple (yes strictly friends) and I’m curious. Do things like jealousy run the same or is it less or more perhaps?

Do heterosexual couples have the same arguments? I don't even understand this question.
I imagine gay people have similar arguments that straight people have. Things like how money is spent, housework and a few other issues that people tend to fight about.
