I just say “ yup your right”....sometimes toss in a “your always right”. She just gets more pissed, goes to bed and won’t talk to me for 2-4 days.

Sage advice...

Never

I'm thinking some guys here have a slightly different definition of winning an argument with the wife than I do. After 45 years of a sometimes very rocky marriage, I figure any fight I walk away from physically unscathed is a win for me. Since she knows where the guns are and how to load and handle them, I try to realize where the line in the sand is.... sometimes....

And that old saying "happy wife, happy life"? Bunch of BS- placating a woman to keep the peace but making yourself miserable all the time isn't what I call a happy life. Kissing a woman's ass in order to, well, kiss her other close by parts just doesn't seem to be working for most guys I know, especially me....

My marriage was dull.. never had a fight. I just let her have her way.

In 44 years we have never had a fight.
She just says calmly, "I am not going to argue with you."
Then we pretend she was right.



But our daughter.... I was paying her to do chores and we would argue over money and details. She is a better at verbal battle than any attorney I have argued with.

Sometimes appearing to lose is a win

Five weeks away from 38 years. If we have had a fight, I do not remember it.

But then I do not drink, nor fug around, and neither does she. So what is there to fight about?

Lol, wtaf?
If you can not bring reality into your relationship, why should she stay?

Kind of hard for me to win an argument with my wife as I am not much of a cook.

Neverrrrr. Be Well, RZ.

The female mind does not allow it. Retribution simmers beneath a sweet smile.

Tried a different approach last night. Lead with apologizing for where I was at fault in the issue, then shut up. She proceeded to also apologize( that has been a tough nut to crack over the 16 years)and Darned if it didn’t turn out better than normal( me being pissed off for the next week).

I might have actually learned something

Who knew

Yes, but the aftermath is far worse than losing the argument.

Man's ole Indian name, Yes Dear.

my wife is my partner, not my adversary I had three previous wives. Bi Polar, contentious, difficult women. The 29 years with this one has been conflict free. I know every hot button she has, and I just don't push 'em.

We get along very well. There have been some fights in nearly 24 years, and I would say the worst ones we had were over wedding plans, lol. I suppose if score were being kept, we would be at about 50-50, but there really isn't all that much I gaf about. Life is what you make of it, and that wasn't a very hard lesson to learn.

No!!

I am blessed in that my wife and I do not fight... we actually very rarely disagree and even when we do, it is no big deal and certainly nothing to fight over. I am one blessed man
