Question

ok, there is a question earlier about being right, please read it !

My last question was about respect please read that !

I suggest being right all the time isn't giving your guy very much respect !

I assert this kills relationships !!!

Your views please

Chris - being right even when u r isn't always going to make a relationship work better. Relationships are not about being right.

The point is being right has nothing to do with enhancing a relationship it's just a way to dominate somebody.

There are actually very few things that are so clear cut as right and wrong so its better to come to solutions that work for both parties rather than being right..

relationships are about team and partnership being right and dominating somebody else ultimately weakens the power of the relationship

Jameela, very good answer on the whole however not sure you practice all that you preach in your answer.

There is a big respect issue in this country, this destroys the qualioty of a lot of relationships be they loving, working or whatever.

Answer 1

I think that this plays into a lot of really bad and harmful stereo types about men and woman in relationships.

Men are always painted as this stupid idot who is never right about anything, and the woman who is stronger and smarter but uptight and mean runs the show. If you want a example just turn on TV on any given day in America. But these shows, and these ideas breed this culture that we enter into in relationships.
Woman are not always right, they just talk more, and therefore are able to explain their feeling better then most men. Men because they get bad examples everywhere of men who just "put up and shut up" and so they stop communicating with their spouce about issues, and you end up with woman who are right be default not by actually being right.
Yes it is disrepectful and kills relationships, but it's not being right, no not being right, it's not about men or woman, it's about letting lack of communication and old stereo types kill the relationship.

Answer 2

if shes right she is right . some times if you agree with a woman
she will shut up hear her self . self evaluate and chill out,
a woman doesn't even always want to be told she is right all the time what she wants is for you to identify with what she is saying!
Tell her you understand where she is coming from but you have a different perspective and you would like her to consider it.
why are men always making things a respect issue sounds alittle
machismo for me. a good example is always a good teacher
redirecting " right and wrong " to understanding and Arguing to
dialogue is import and . disagreeing is OK and i am glad women and men are free in this country do disagree as much as each gender would like . if she is being imposable to communicate with at a particular moment try later timing is everything and hormones can take a big play in how well a man and women are understanding each other . good luck dear

Answer 3

Yes I am sure it does! The secret lies with two tips (not sure if I should divulge this - may have army of women accusing me of fraternising with the enemy!): Occasionally s a woman you have to weigh up if the man knowing you are right is essential - sometimes this is not worth the trouble, even if you are! Secondly, the best skill i being right is to get the bloke to believe he is the one who decided this - like it was his idea in the 1st place - I find this one the most effective! This way he gets to keep his ego/pride and I get what I want!! All is well in love and war!!

I TAKE IT YOU ARE IN THE WRONG AT THE MO, AND BITTER ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE? Your girlfriend/wife has let the side down I suspect!

Answer 4

Yes it can kill a relationship if you let it.
Personally I am currently having somewhat of the same problem in my relationship.
Why should someone back down when they are right?
Why is it so hard for someone that is wrong to admit they are wrong?
Is it more of a wrong to be right or to be wrong and not be able to admit it?
Pride is a very stubborn thing that we ALL have. Personally I get tired of being the one that is always apologizing first. Especially when both parties are equally wrong.

Answer 5

then he man should larn more and stop sitting on his bum thinking he knows it all,cos he dont ,we tend to know more cos we are interested in more men are lazy gits ,well most of them ,some are really good,thats why we marry them off first
but u must just be a bit thick ,and no it dont kill a relationship if the man can admit hes stupid ,hehe

Answer 6

nope, cause my husband and i respect and understand each other. in everything or anything we do, we both do it right for our own sake and peace of mind. we don't want to regret anything if we make mistakes that will be something else to correct, hard to accomplish our goal and it will be troublesome for our daily routine.

i never say im always right, "i" always make sure "we" both are right. i listen to him, he listen to me. we discuss things before we make a decision. i guess being with him, knowing him all these 20+ years, we already know how we are towards everything in our married life. its kind of weird cause we know how we think, we finish each other sentence and we already molded our way of life to each others likes.

Answer 7

sumtimes a lot of times grls dont like 2 be told by there guys that they r rong and u r right take this advice from a girl

Answer 8

I think it would kill the relationship too. There's a thing called compromise and also admitting when you're wrong.

Answer 9

well i know im not always right there are times when im wrong but i like to think im right and there is a little thing called compromise...

Answer 10

Hell I would like to be right just once. I'm the "stupid" one in my relationship. Even when I'm right I'm wrong.
