No person, woman or man, should have to be right all the time. Often the issue doesn't matter in the long run. When it does stand up for it. When it doesn't step down. It doesn't matter your gender. Most of the time there is a win/win resolution if you are looking for common ground rather than being right.
I'm generally in agreement with this. The other thing is.....in relationships I've found that this type of issue has almost never centered on factual matters in which one person might be objectively 'right'. The issue comes up with regard to matters of opinion and decisions that must be made. In these cases it isn't really a matter of who is 'right'....but if one person insists on always having their way.

Too true - if you have to agree on all matters of opinion it would be a very stagnant relationship. It is much more enjoyable if people can hear others opinions without being threatened. That way you are learning and broadening your understanding, whether or not you agree.

Not sure who is always right.....but am taking this opportunity to share some humor. Please note: Due to different ways of practicing one's Faith, please insert, where appropriate, the officiating authority and the corresponding vocabulary.

A man is going to marry a woman.

The Groom goes to the Priest and says, "Listen, if I give you money will you eliminate the vows, just get rid of them?"

The Priest says, "sure."

At that part of the ceremony, the Priest turns to the Groom and says, "Now, you are going to rub your wife's feet on a hard day. You will serve breakfast in bed. You will do housework, laundry and go shopping. You will take long walks together.....have long conversations over coffee."

At the end of the ceremony, the Groom goes to the Priest and says, "I thought I gave you money to eliminate the vows?"

The Priest said, "Yes you did.....but your wife gave me more."

I wish all threaders well.
