Do you have a tendency to argue your point when you "know" you are right to the point of jeopardizing your relationship? The problem with being right in a relationship is that it really doesn't matter.
Being right matters when you take a test, you travel to a destination and you need to take the correct road, or you are solving a problem, for example.
Being "right" in your relationship can cause some serious arguing, especially if both of you think you are right.
"This is how we always did it in my family" doesn't cut it.
It only means you have a preference for the way things are done, not that your way is the right way or the only way.
What good does it do to be right when you are all alone and there is no one left to argue with about how right you are? If being right is a priority for you, your relationship is taking a back seat to your ego.
Ask yourself: would I rather be right or in harmony with the ones I love? If you prefer to be right, then you are dangerously close to being narcissistic, if not already there.
If this is the case, stay single.
You will create a miserable place for your relationship, if it lasts, that is.
Fortunately, most people like to be right, but they also understand that they need other people to live a happy, successful life.
There are times when being right is very important, such as when you know your life or someone else's life is in danger.
Apart from that, what is so important that your need to be right would override your need for connection? Human beings are social creatures.
We need other people to be healthy and happy.
Even if we only surround ourselves with a limited number of close family and friends, we need to feel connected to others.
So the next time you feel a bit of "rightness" coming on, ask yourself whether holding your ground to state your preference is worth the cost to your relationships.
