Daily arguments or one major blow-up a year? | Out The Blue Podcast | Spin The Wheel
Jan 11, 2026We spin the wheel and land on a real relationship question: would you rather deal with small arguments all the time, or one major blow-up once a year? What starts as a simple “would you rather” turns into a deeper conversation about boundaries, toxicity, communication, and what actually counts as an argument. From yelling and “performing,” to knowing when disagreements cross into unhealthy territory, we break down how couples really navigate conflict — and why peace might matter more than being right.🎧 Listen to the full episode here: WWW.Outthebluepodcast.com🛜 https://outthebluepodcast.com/🔗 Follow & Connect with Us:📸 Instagram: @OuttheBlue_Podcast | @Zha.bria | @Mastermind...
