Well, I've learned that most things I thought I had learned in life, were all lies and misperceptions fed to me since I was young, So I really don't need to be right, But Happy is one thing I always need.

Well said and quite true. We are often told things when we are young that either our parents did not understand how we'd interpret or were polarized on the issue and just gave us their point of view. Experience teaches us otherwise, especially if we live a very different life from that of our elders.

:) Sometimes it stinks to be right: worse to have to share that with someone you love.

Thank you for such an honest answer. Every time I think I've managed to resolve this in myself, I catch myself arguing a point of no consequence. Thankfully, about 80% of the time I catch myself in the act and just say "ok. sure. go for it" and leave it be. Much harder to do when I know the ramification will affect both of us or worse, our entire family.

Happiness is something everyone has to work at but being right is automatic for me. For me theyre not mutually exclusive.

True. This is in the context of a relationship where forcing your point may lead to arguments and an unhappy couple. There are cases where one doesn't even want to be right but is just trying to prevent the other from making a mistake that will have lasting ramifications for one or both of them.

If you are happy, then being right doesn't matter.

I choose happiness over being right also but sometimes it isn't such an easy line to draw because of the ramifications of allowing the wrong person to go forward with that decision. You keep the peace but pay the consequences later.

In marriage you have to choose your words and your battles wisely. I say I would rather bite my tongue and be happy than rip apart what we have built together just to prove I was right.

Agreed on both counts. Compromise sometimes leads to a reasonable happiness even if you do bite your tongue. That's part of being in a relationship. If it is an external subject, sometimes I'm lucky and my wife and I can happily agree to disagree and move on.
