[30M] and [28F] Anyone else notice how the tiniest miscommunications can start the biggest fights?

So this has been on my mind lately. I don’t know if we’re just in a weird season of life or what, but my partner (30M) and I (28F)were having these dumb fights not about serious stuff, but little things. Like not realizing the other person had plans, forgetting to mention something, or both assuming the other person was picking something up. Nothing major… but it was constant. We had this one blow-up over a grocery order, like full-on silent treatment over almond milk and afterward we both just kind of sat there and were like, “Why does this keep happening?”.

I started thinking about how badly we communicate not the talking part, but the unspoken stuff the cues, the timing, the assumed understanding. I think someone called it “signaling” in a podcast I listened to once, and honestly… yeah. That’s it we’re crap at signaling. We’ve been trying to fix it, just in small ways like syncing up calendars better, or setting little reminders. We also found an app that focuses on that stuff (not gonna shill for it, but if anyone’s curious I can DM), and weirdly, it’s helping like we’re not solving deep issues but we’re avoiding a lot of the dumb ones. Which feels like progress. Anyway, not really looking for advice just wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of thing? And if you’ve found anything that helped you sync up better with your partner?

TL;DR: Most of our arguments weren’t about big stuff they were about small, missed signals. We’ve been working on better day-to-day syncing and it’s helped a lot. Curious if other couples have dealt with this and found anything that actually helped.
