For some reason, as I read those, they seem like a contradiction.  Like, if
you were the (only) one of you that never argued, then how would #2 even be
obvious?

I have met a few women over the years... luckily ones I never dated... that
came right out and said that they like to argue and don't like it when men
won't argue with them.  Their reasoning, IIRC, is that sometimes they
needed to be argued with for some validation purpose... my memory is hazy
on that bit now.

In some cases, no doubt, it had to do with them being upset with someone
else... boss, co-worker, etc... that they didn't feel that they could argue
with.

Hearing them say that was eye-opening.
