How can I stop this cycle of petty arguments with my SO?

I despise that I am asking a relationship question…

But Mike and I have been arguing more or less constantly for the past few weeks, about anything and everything. Usually if I start it, it is over his weird, silent, cold-shoulder-y attitude he has sometimes. If he starts it, it is usually due to my nagging him once again. But I feel like we get sucked into a pattern really quickly, and I want to stop it before it takes us over and ends up becoming some sort of ugly entity that eventually eats us and the cats.

Any advice? Some help for a change of perspective (which is what we REALLY need)?

And I promise I am not Flunking (drunk-Fluthering).
