Agree to Disagree?

Are you an agree to disagree type of person?

or

Are you a person that needs to be right?

Once you answer, tell me if you're still married?

I am always right but I've learned to just let my wife wallow in her wrongness from time to time...Um...hopefully she never sees this.

In all seriousness though, I have found that sometimes we just have to step back and realize that neither of us will be persuaded. Luckily when it counts the most, my wife and I find it best to compromise despite the disagreement. The hard part is figuring out the last possible moment to give in without causing true discontent.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken... :-)

Actually, I know that, as a human, I make mistakes, both in thoughts and actions. While I don't like it when people disagree with me, they are entitled to their own opinion, regardless of how misguided/wrong they are. :-)

Happily married for 43 years.

I don't always need to be right, it just happens so everyone else needs to learn to deal with it. And yes, I am still married. Not sure how that happened, but it did.

I have to be right all the time. And as long as my wife keeps telling me what i think i always will be.
Yes i am still married 10 years now. if you cant agree to disagree you need to learn when to just shut your mouth.
