Can you give in even when you know you are right?

Hahaha, absolutely not. I am totally stubborn. I wish I could change this about myself but I feel like I can't. lol

Whenever I have heated argument with my husband, I do say sorry, whether I'm right or wrong. When I know I'm right, I still say sorry because in the course of our discussion, we tend to say things that we should not be saying or things that are out of context. I say sorry then explain to him more calmly where I'm coming from. In this way, he understands and in turn he explains why he thinks his right. I stumble on one quote saying "Saying sorry does not always mean your wrong and the other is right. It only means that you value the RELATIONSHIP more than your EGO." And thinking about this helps.

hi there! I actually hates arguments and I feel like I never won in any. haha Most of the time, when my husband and I are starting to have some arguments and no one seems want to lose we just end up not talking! haha We just let the tension pass and after a while everything will be fine and one of us will realize who's right and wrong. Sometimes we just need to give each other some time to think. I can definitely admit when I am wrong and always ready to say sorry, actually sometimes even if I am on the right side, I still say sorry to end the argument. hehe

I usually stand up for my beliefs and opinions, explaining them and hearing the other people's own ideas. I'm not trying to convince anyone that I am right, unless the subject in question is quite obvious, so I wouldn't debate whether pink elephants fly over rainbows or anything similar. Now, if I have a fight with someone and I believe it's not my fault, I simply point out that a)it was a misunderstanding, b)the other person has a bad temper and is taking it all out on me, c) other similar conversation-ender. Sometimes I might even say I'm sorry, just to calm things down a bit. Usually, after a while, I receive an apology and everything is back to normal. If not, I consider my level of communication with that person rather poor.

Arguments are really inevitable. All couples or every relationship have it. You have a pretty good point here. I have been to arguments, a couple of years back I used to argue all I want just to prove I am right. Or sometimes I am stubborn enough not to admit my mistake, and it would just aggravate the situation, making it worst, so the argument will surely end up in a serious fight, that would be very detrimental to the relationship. It took me years to realize that being so aggressive on pressing that you are right, is not always the good move to resolve issues. I learned my lesson when I tried to swallow my pride and say, "okay, if I'm wrong I'm sorry, let's just get this thing done. I don't want a fight." I realized that the person I am arguing with is more important than my point. And sometimes, saying sorry even if you're not wrong, would somehow mitigate the situation, and silence the argument. Saying sorry does not make the person right, it's telling the person that the relationship is more important to you than your point. Right now, I am keeping my fingers crossed that whenever I am in an argument, I would be humble enough to accept points. And by doing so, I am living in a pretty harmonious environment than before.

I do this a lot. If I am in an argument I will keep arguing even if I know I am wrong. Once I know that I am already wrong I have nothing to really use, so I just argue to entertain myself.

sometimes you need to get wrong even if you know you are right. sometimes you need to accept the wrong doings of a person. and even if the blame is thrown upon you, you will just say sorry. just to let the arguments end and keep the peace between you.

Yes,sometimes for the sake of keeping the relationship intact,one has to give in even when he\she is right.Small arguments could end up in big fights.So people rather give in than to indulge in fights.

When couples fight nobody wants to be the one to give in first. It makes them seem weaker to the other person and often gives them power over the other person. Sometimes just knowing when to give in and when to take a stand is the difficult part., It doesn't mean that we don't care. It may be that we care too much instead.

I believe there must be take-and-give in every relationship, whether it is love relationship or just friendship...To be tolerate is not to give up, but to let better things to be preserved and to let bad things at bay ...There is no good to win a small argument and yet dump away an 8-years relationship for example...Nevertheless, I am a stubborn person actually...But, I have learned how to tolerate to her, and let it be...I don't want the relationship to end halfway just because of small things... I will admit when I am wrong, sincerely speaking...Sometimes you need just the courage to say that you are wrong albeit the fact that you are right for the greater benefit for both parties...

hi there, yes i do admit it when i am wrong. but i am not the type of person who talks much when there's a problem. i would rather all the people ignore me because i don't wanna shout when someone talks to me hehehe but yeah sometimes when my boyfriend and i argue, i just say sorry even when i know i am right, just so the argument stops and we can just be okay again. i just then wait fr the right time to talk about it when everything is calm and fine, so we can sort things out. it is always good to have a good and open communication, where you can just say anything you want and can just express your feelings.

I say it can be a bit of give and take, but I say speak how you feel and don't just say oh your right about this even if you know you are. Just be honest about how you feel but each of you should compromise in situations. If you keep holding your tongue and letting the other person make all the decisions then that is not healthy.

In a relationship I admit that I used to fight for my rights but in order to keep the relationship strong one should give way for a good foundation of relationship. Sometimes we should learn to set aside our pride if we don't want to loose our love.

If I think to be right, I cannot stop myself: I must explain my reasons! But I know that this is not always the right way to act, mainly for two reasons: 1. almost always the reality of things is subjective, depends on the eyes of the observer. So what is obviously right for you may not be for another. 2. if what you're talking about has a purpose, may be more important to get it rather than to obtain recognition of your reasons. Sometimes discussing, even if you're right, it can prevent you from achieving the ultimate goal.

Yup! Sure, nothing to lose when I give in if this will be the only remedy to make the situation calm.... There is nothing wrong to give in...
