There are disagreements about all sorts of things in any relationship, no matter how much you love the other person. The fact is, if two people always agree, they're probably not being honest about how they feel...or at least one of them isn't.

Don't stress out when things don't go exactly as you think they should. Don't stress out if your SO needs time to cool off. Don't stress out if he is short with you.

If he/she hangs up on you, don't call back. Let him/her be. I agree it's rude and frustrating when someone hangs up on you, but usually it only happens if they've run out of things to say and you keep repeating what you've already said. If they do it for no reason, then maybe your SO isn't such a great person. Only you know the answer to that.

Basically, in a relationship, there should be a fair amount of smooth sailing which should well and truly outweigh the choppy stuff. If it's not like that, you probably need to ask yourself what you're doing in the relationship.

Get a hobby. Hang out with friends. Go for drinks with co-workers. Build up your self-esteem. Join a club. I think when you focus more on you, then your insecurities may just show themselves as being unfounded. Just something to think about.
