Last Word
I’ve been in relationships where the fight ended with me walking away because of how emotionally drained and drained out my partner was. I’ve also been in relationships that ended because my partner didn’t want to fight anymore, so we just went our separate ways. It’s always better for your relationship when you can let go of trying to prove yourself right and agree with your partner instead. Especially if he has something important on his mind that needs patience and understanding rather than stubbornness and resistance (like a lack of sex). Learn to give him the last Word.
In any argument, you really don’t have to be the one who wins.
When you’re in an argument, it’s not a good idea to let him win. This can be confusing because letting him win doesn’t mean agreeing with him or being wrong, but rather just giving up on your desire to prove that you’re right. It’s okay if he leads the argument and works through his feelings before coming back at you with them again. Last Word.
When you give in to your partner and let him win the argument, he’ll feel heard, cared for and respected.
If you’re the one who is always right, then you need to give in and let your partner have the last word. It’s important that he feels heard, cared for and respected by you.
When a relationship is successful, both partners are able to voice their opinions without being judged or criticized. They can be honest with themselves about what they did wrong as well as how they could improve in future situations. This creates an open environment where all ideas are welcome and no one feels threatened by another’s opinion.
You can’t — and shouldn’t — completely avoid arguing with your partner.
Arguments are a normal part of any relationship. They help you work out problems, and they’re not a sign that you don’t love your partner. The two of you may disagree about something, or maybe even just one thing that’s really important to both of you (like which TV show to watch on Netflix).
However, arguments can get heated when they become personal attacks or threats. It’s important that both people involved in an argument feel safe enough to express their feelings without fear of being judged by the other person — but it’s also important for those who are listening (and sometimes even more so!) not to take things too personally themselves! If either person feels attacked by what they’re hearing from another person during an argument. Then this isn’t good news; instead try stepping back and looking at things objectively instead: “Is my partner actually being mean? Or am I reacting negatively because I’m scared?”

Don’t try to challenge his point of view; instead, open your mind and see his side of things.
- Don’t try to change his mind.
- Don’t try to prove him wrong.
- Don’t try to win an argument, even if you feel like you’re right and he is wrong on some point or another.
- If it’s something that doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things (like a disagreement about sports), then just let it go—it won’t change anything important in your life or theirs!
Your first instinct when you’re in a disagreement is probably to defend yourself immediately. Try not to do it.

Don’t get defensive. Don’t let the argument get out of hand. Don’t argue over things that don’t matter, and don’t try to prove that you’re right or wrong, because this will only make things worse by prolonging an already heated situation. If someone questions your stance on something, just say “I’m not sure” or “Let me think about it.”
And above all: don’t let the argument go on too long!
Give him time to work through the problem on his own before giving him advice or offering suggestions for what he should do.
You should give him time to work through the problem himself. If you try to jump in too quickly and offer advice. He may think that you’re trying to fix everything right away. If your husband is having trouble with something in his life, it’s important for him not only to figure things out for himself but also for others around him as well. Including you!
Don’t be afraid of silence when dealing with difficult issues. Sometimes talking about an issue leads only toward more confusion or pain than the solution. Instead, give yourself permission to listen without offering any solutions until he has finished speaking first. Or until after he gives up talking altogether.
If you’re more emotionally mature than your partner, it’s okay to let him lead the argument so he has a chance to work through his feelings.

If he’s been hurt and reactive, don’t try to fix things right away by offering your perspective or suggestions. Instead, say something like: “I hear what you’re saying and I understand why this is frustrating for you” or “It sounds like this is important to me.” You can still be involved in the conversation. Just let him have time alone with his thoughts without interrupting him again. Until he’s ready for more input from you.
Letting him win doesn’t necessarily mean letting him be right (or wrong, for that matter). It just means that you give up wanting to prove you’re right.

It’s okay if your partner is right in this situation. You don’t have to prove anything! In fact, it might be better if he wins and feels better about himself because his ego has been boosted by what he perceives as being on the winning side of an argument or disagreement. Even if it wasn’t really an argument at all!
If I could choose between being right or feeling good about myself, which would I pick?
