Ok, so I have been with my partner for over 4 months now and last night he actually said this to me: I'm surprised that we haven't gotten into any fights because isn't that normal?

My question is am I just hurting myself by thinking shouldn't he know me by now. Because I am not a person who likes to ever fight because I know you should see another persons view point instead of just saying you are right all the time. I like to discuss and think its stupid to take the immature route into dealing with disagreements and conflicts. I have discussed this with him a couple times. I would think he would realize that I maybe a goofy person but I am calm most of the time.

Could it be his past effecting him. He had gone through depression for two years and I can tell he still has symptoms of it like: low-self esteem and self doubts (not all the time). He had some pretty bad friendships that no longer exist. He is working on himself but I do feel hurt from some of his self doubts too, by things he says.

I feel I could say something to him about that.

And I think I just answered myself by typing this up (that I am hurting myself) but still want opinions. ha.
