Great point about how many of us are in different places dealing with different things. It's funny, sometimes I'll think, "My gosh how does he/she deal with that!" While I'm sure others think the same thing about me. It seems like you really don't know how strong you are or how much you can handle until you are actually in the middle of it. I guess that's the true test.
Yoyo girl,
It sounds to me like you're doing really good. I think it's great you're not avoiding things, but coming up with different ways to ask about them or deal with them. Also, sometimes fighting is a good thing. It can be healthy. Avoiding conflict can seriously hurt a relationship. (Although for those in the early days of piecing, it's probably best to try and avoid fighting).
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
