Is it right to admit you are wrong when you know you are right but by not admitting you were wrong when you were right she's going to have a headache tonight?
If I am wrong and anybody can prove it to me in some way then I accept it and apologize but if anybody tries to tell me that I am wrong simply because they believe they are right then trouble is brewing. In such a case there is only one way out and that is to mutually agree to close the door on the argument.
This is a major part of my character - I hate to see wrong winning over right or evil winning over good.
I agree. Many would let a relationship go in the mist of the brew without mutually agreeing. Yet, is it so important that one is willing to sacrifice a relationship over it?
No! no argument is ever important enough to sacrifice a relationship over. There is another side to this however - if a relationship is in danger of being sacrificed because of one argument then the relationship is dead anyway. The reason being that one of the two parties is not really comitted and is in the relationship simply for gain of whatever nature and the other can only keep the "relationship" alive by submitting in every way. This is not healthy and should in any case not continue.
I chose a lady who could stand her ground in every way as I do myself. This did lead to some serious arguments which we always ended by mutually agreeing to close the door on the argument. The up side of this was that I shared my life with somebody who would without hesitation join in my battles - and I loved this.
