My bf and I recently have talked about what bothers us and I brought up the fact that he always has to have the last say and be right. He said he wants me to be the strongly opinionated women I am but I can't help and get frustrated with him when I can NEVER win. Anyone know how to get over this?
thats normal. i am not competitive. but when i meet a stubborn one, i become as stubborn as she/he is. i dont want to prove he/she is not right. i just want a person to undertsand he/she cant ALWAYS be right.
It's ego based on nobody ever wins an argument anyway. Dale Carnegie has some good thoughts on the subject in "How to win friends and influence people," which is a killer read anyway.
Yea my boyfriend is the same way he always has to be right and we argue over the littlest stupidest things like today i actually was right and he appologized we were watching tv and this woman was talkin about how she had been electrocuted twice and i made a comment like that isnt possible because to be electrocuted means you died of an electric shock and you cant die twice well he didnt agree and we argued for awhile he was so sure he was right that he looked it up on then came the appologies i loved it because like you i am never right and for once i was when you get that chance bring it up and throw it in his face as much as you can lol really tho no big deal as long as you keep the arguments playful and friendly think about it guys are always competing with there other guy friends if he is like that with u it just means he sees you as a friend
You're just competetive. Try to understand where he's coming from, and let him understand what you mean. It there's no bad argument, then I wouldn't worry about it. Try to challenge him at something you're good at. It will make those other times less annoying.
