Respecting other people's views has got nothing to do with pride. Having a discussion is not about convincing people of your viewpoints, it's about getting an agreement.
Like you said, the key to a good relationship is communication. It's not being overly compliant just for the sake of avoiding arguments.
For example, I've seen your comments on a couple of posts, and I think you're an intelligent person. So even though I disagree with you on this one, that doesn't mean I don't respect you. You can stay proud.
Uhh... proud of what?
I'm not advocating compliance, but if someone is so proud of their viewpoint that they're completely unwilling to even admit that it could be flawed or be flexible for the sake of reaching an agreement, the relationship isn't gonna work =/
But either way. Just something that I have learned from my relationships. Someone that is too "proud" of their own viewpoints will not shut the fuck up, whether or not the other party agrees to disagree. And they never seem to understand why they're broken up with either, because they're awesome v.v
holla if you're single!

Well, if you look at pride in the sense of 'arrogance', you're definitely right.

Arrogance may have been a better word to use, yes.
