Hey SDN, I want to preface this real quick by saying that I am 100% serious about this question - I know it's cliche, but I'm concerned.
I have a fiancé who I have been with for 3 years and we are set to be married soon. However, we have been sort of fighting a lot these last few months, but they aren't bad fights they are just over things that are just down right silly and not even worth it. It has got me thinking about something I hear from men in long standing relationships (40+ years). They always say that "the woman is always right..even when they're wrong." I understand the initiative to try and avoid confrontation by just agreeing and letting it go no matter how you feel about the situation, but I am scared to do that because in previous relationships I feel like it was exactly that which gave my ex-gf's the feeling that they could just walk all over me at times since I never fought back.
To what extent does this saying hold true, and does anyone else in a successful and fun relationship follow this advice at all? I don't wanna give off the wrong impression that she is a B****, because we are happy 95% of the time. However, fighting gets old and I hate doing it. Would agreeing to let it go and let her win be the right way to go, in your opinion?
Thanks!
