Liz and I are having an argument
So?
And I'd love to end it...
You do know what to do, don't you?
But I have no idea what it's about!
Tell her she's right
A young friend of the family said in a public acceptance on his wedding night (with big smirk) …“[My new wife, by name] knows that I am wrong, even before the thought that I might be wrong has entered my head”.
Still wondering if he got some Wedding Cake that night.
A wonderful family (I know / have known five generations of this family)… this young blokes father said that before his own wedding his prospective father-in-law gave the advice…“Never let the sun set on an argument”.
Oh. And I tried that a couple times in a fight. Mine got more pissed at me for disagreeing with her in the first place.
And on a few occasions where she actually convinced me that I was wrong (like made a strong argument for her case) I was yelled at more because I did not agree with her sooner.
1) Even if you “win” the argument, you haven’t won. She will very likely simply segue into a new argument.
2) Everything is always your fault.
3) It really doesn’t matter. If they are so insecure that they must win all arguments, that’s their problem, I don’t want to make it mine. Although I admit that sometimes my temper gets the better of me and I will engage in the argument with all guns blazing, I have discovered that not getting involved in it to even the smallest extent is really the only way to truly win it. And seeing the resulting frustration is quite satisfying… ☺

I remember an argument like that.
“Oh, you just don’t understand!”
“You’re RIGHT. I DON’T understand. Could you please explain it to me so that I DO understand?”
Ohhhh, she didn’t like that at all…

Just to add…

‘’Liz, I’m sorry. You’re were right, I was wrong. I’ve been a fool, a big fat fool, a big fat stupid idiotic …. You’re not going to stop me’’

My wife is always right because she will get mad if I prove she is wrong.

A number of things I have learned over the years:
1) Even if you “win” the argument, you haven’t won. She will very likely simply segue into a new argument.
2) Everything is always your fault.
3) It really doesn’t matter. If they are so insecure that they must win all arguments, that’s their problem, I don’t want to make it mine.

Just go with “Yes, dear. I’m sorry, dear. I love you, dear.”
