Today, my boyfriend and I had a disagreement over the pronunciation of the word "train." It turned into a heated debate that lasted all night and ended with us sleeping in separate rooms. FML

superminty tells us more.

It was "ch-rain" versus "t-rain".

How many ways are there to pronounce the word train..?

That's just loco. What were you trying to achieve?

This makes me wonder how legitimate arguments are for you two.

Twain! Twain! Twain! How hard can it possibly be?

Correct! Three Marks for you!

The key to relationship is compromise, OP. however, one of you are saying it wrong because last time I checked there is only one way to pronounce train.

You guys are loco, you should choo-choose your battles more wisely. This one definitely went off track...

are you, or are you related to Carl Azus from CNN Student News??? because that's exactly the puns that he makes.

Guess that one to remember for down the track...

Hopefully you have a Sleeptrain matress. A ticket to a better night sleeeep!

Is the more ways to pronounce the word "train" that I was unaware of? I get the "tomato" thing, but "train"? What is there in one syllable to disagree on?

Sounds like you both got off track. I hope you choose to reconcile and that this little incident doesn't derail your relationship. If he doesn't talk to you, kick him in the caboose.

Couples will argue about stupid things, but how you feel about that person is far more important. Just apologize and say it doesn't matter. A relationship is worth more than being right.

Should have learnt "How to Train your Dragon." Why not just agree to disagree? Was it really worth trying to be correct and sleeping alone?
