A couple in my family have seperated because they each think that the other is wrong & for some reason the stubborn jackasses will neither be the first to apologize. If your marriage or relationship was on the line, would you say you're sorry even if you weren't wrong because you knew your mate wouldn't, just to save your 20 year marriage?

Crap. You have to be kidding ... a man ALWAYS apologizes, no matter who is wrong.

I would do just about anything to save my marriage, and though I cannot say too much about theirs because I dont know the details it seems that if after 20 years they havent learned to communicate with each other then there is a big problem. Maybe they are both using it as an excuse to split because they really and truely do not want to be together anymore. I could see no other reason to let a fight ruin a marriage.

Yes i definitley would say i was sorry even though i knew i was not wrong because i would much rather be happy in my marriage and with my spouse then be miserable in my marriage and think i had to be right all of the time. I would definitley want to save my marriage. I have learned to be unselfish and giving and even if i think he is wrong i dont harp on him and have to be right all the time to be happy. Marriage is what you make of it and I choose to make the best of my marriage. We are happy and we love each other unconditionally.

Well, if they have been married for 20 years then they should know about compromising with one another. The fact that they aren't could be something deeper.
Yes, I would apologize even if I were wrong to save my marriage..

If I still loved the person and wanted to be with them then, yes, I would just apologize even if I didn't feel that I was in the wrong. However... maybe after 20 years there's more to the story. Maybe they're both done.

I'm rightly happy! After 25years, you give in just to get it over with! I mean the unpleasantness of being right just to say you're wrong. But...making up sure has it's benefits. Suppose they are constantly at each others throats or bickering just to make up and you don't know it?? hum...Sorry, I know your right, but I have a son and Daughter in law who seem to be on the same road. I have no control over them and it is killing me to see the results. But sometimes the cards have to be played and someone loses. Unfortunately it will be both of them, unless a miracle happens and they see the light and forgive, or learn to give in. YOU have no control. peace to you.

i think if its that big of a deal they should just call it quits and divorce .. sounds like war of the roses thats ridiculous and stupid and waste time and effort when they could be doing fun things and enjoying life. marriage and fighting really is the pitts..

I am the wrong guy to ask, I am always sorry that my wife feel unhappy. So I try to work things out so that she will be happy.

well, sometimes i have to swallow my pride, bite my tongue long enough to realize that we always argue for silly things anyway and its just nor worth it. Why would you want to end such an important relationship for the sake of being right??? I think its just selfish and immature
