How do you communicate with a stubborn partner who always thinks he is right?

Question

Our conflicting views lead to outrageous arguments...is there a trick to this?

Wow all this advice helps me feel better I esp liked the drawing a picture to make the situation humorous...

Answer 1

Don't argue. You have to be the one that keeps your mouth shut in arguments. Let him believe he is right, don't feed into it. Also- tell him he has every right to believe, think ,act the way he does but it doesn't make you feel special or cherished and it hurts you. Also- you will spend more time with friends and people that make you feel this way.
Just remember you can't change anyone, but once you change YOUR behavior he will be more open to seeing what he is doing wrong and make him more open to behaving differently.

Answer 2

You both have to have open minds and be willing to understand each others point of views.

You might not agree on things, but there should definitely be better communication to where you can express the disagreement, but calmly explain why.

Find some middle ground to where you can talk about things without it erupting into World War 3.

Answer 3

is he right based on the facts of the argument? check it out. if he is say he was right. if he is wrong call him out.

if you are arguing lifestyle points or opinion points, learn to be less argumentative and listen a whole lot more. it sounds as if you are more mature by asking how to fix the problem. you need to understand some people need to feel "in control."

i see you have your need also to control the arguing. i gave up arguing with my ex because she started fights just to keep herself apart from me. we broke up. i told her i refuse to fight with someone i love. give me something to fight for, a real cause, and i will give it my all. i will not fight simply to appease her need not to feel anything. everyone has their coping skills.

remember an argument by definition is not contentious, it is a disagreement. it does not need to be a fight.

Answer 4

You could try asking him if there were circumstances during his childhood that caused him to want to compete, concerning being right all the time.
Maybe he's ignoring the facts & just assuming he's right... he needs to realize that>>> just because he has a thought, it doesn't mean his thoughts are correct.
I've learned...that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

Answer 5

Time and truth go hand in hand. If he thinks he is right, it will come out eventually that he is not sometimes. Don't argue....this only adds fuel to the fire. He will get the point after a while.

Answer 6

try to do something funny, so it won't be so hurtful, like draw him a picture!!! Get out some markers and show him that way he can see it not just hear it and he will think that it is cute you went through that trouble no matter who is right.

Answer 7

Some times arguments between two partner could close them together dont try to force him your idea becuase if you repeat his act then there is no different between both of you . look at this problem in this way you dont fight for anything if you dont care to that if you fight for sth it could means that you both care to eachother there is just misunderstanding about that could remove

Answer 8

ignore him, avoid comments that you know will set him off. If the arguments start going go away for a few hours or take a walk.

Answer 9

A swift kick to his headpiece followed by a shot to sack and finished off with a "get the hell out of my life you a#shole!"

Answer 10

1 yes
2 ok
3 sure
4 uh huh
