No matter what type of relationship you find yourself in, at some point you will argue. You will engage in a back and forth with your boyfriend or girlfriend and try to prove that your way of thinking is best.
Now, nothing's wrong with proving your point beyond a shadow of a doubt if you're in a courtroom, but in relationships this isn't always the best road to travel.
There are many reasons this is true and tonight, I'm going to share 10 Reasons You Don't Always Need To Be Right...besides nobody wants to date a Know-It-All. So are you ready? Let's go...

There are many reasons this is true and tonight, I'm going to share 10 Reasons You Don't Always Need To Be Right...besides nobody wants to date a Know-It-All. So are you ready? Let's go...
Reason #1 - The Truth Comes Out Eventually
Do you remember a time when you and Babe argued all night over something and everything you said would happen.. did happen? (If it hasn't happened yet, don't worry it will)
Like it was almost as if you watched the movie 2 weeks earlier and called every moment play by play.
Now, do you remember how much stress and drama that long drawn out argument caused you? Lack of sleep? Mad at the world just because?
Now just think of all the minutes, hours and days of stress you could have saved yourself, by just confidently knowing within how things would turn out.
You don't always need to prove your point because eventually, the truth will come out.

Reason #2 - There Is No "I" In Team
One of the beautiful things about a relationship is that you and your Sweety get to work through problems together.
Issues you have are no longer an "I have a problem", but they become a "We have a problem". So what this means is that if he fails, you fail or vice-versa.
At the end of the day, it's not being right all the time, it's about coming to the best decision as a couple.

Reason #3 - An Argument Is Just A Difference Of Opinion
Differences are what bring people together in relationships and sometimes they can also be what tears us apart, especially if someone has to be right all of the time.
Would you want to be in a relationship with someone that always tells you you're wrong..all the time? Would you even want to discuss your thoughts or feelings about something if someone said, "You're wrong for feeling that way"?
Probably not. Being in a good relationship is about being able to share your differences without fear of persecution or guilt.
Something to remember: If you want to date someone who will always agree with you, look in the mirror. Now if you want to see a loving face other than yours in the mirror, get used to people disagreeing with you from time to time.

Reason #4 - People Need To Feel Important
Feeling as though one is an equal in a relationship can do a lot for self-esteem. But someone feeling as though, they're always wrong" can have a negative impact on their well-being and overall health of your relationship.
People need to feel important, that's why they get in relationships. People want to feel that they are valued for their thoughts and contributions.
But it's a little hard to do, if someone is always proving to them that they're wrong and they are right.

Reason #5 - You've Got Better Things To Do With Your Time
There's a million and one things you can be doing rather than standing around beating a dead horse trying to prove that your right.
Make use of that time and don't feed into or create unnecessary drama.
Make use of that time and don't feed into or create unnecessary drama.
Reason #6 - Arguments Have A Way Of Getting Ugly... Quick
I'm pretty sure just about everyone reading this has seen a little argument go from 0 to 100 real quick.
You know those arguments that start off small and almost comical, but turn into a dueling match because someone just has to get the last word. Those arguments where someone just couldn't sit still with the idea of not being right and move on with their life?
Yeah, those suck pretty much and I'm not saying you won't have those moments, by not always having to be right. What I'm saying is you don't have to be right all of the time.

Reason #7 - Headaches Are No Fun
You know sometimes there just isn't a big enough bottle of Tylenol to make a headache go away.
So why would anyone willingly set themselves up to become frustrated proving a point that's going to come out in the wash anyway?

Reason #8 - You Won't Always Agree On Every Little Thing
Didn't we cover this one already? I think it was in Reason 3.
Ah yes, something about how differences are what brings people together in the first place and if you want someone to always agree - date yourself...lol
Okay, so moving right along...

Reason #9 - No One Likes A Smarty Pants
Do you remember being in elementary school and you had that one kid who just had to be right about about everything?
They'd get all the teacher's questions right. They'd know everything about anything and would make sure you knew it?
Do you remember how much you wanted to punch them in the back of the head? So yeah, don't be that kid. Babe knows your smart, you don't have to rub it in his face every chance you get.

Reason #10 - If Your "Always" Right, Then Someone's "Always" Wrong
Now after reading Reasons 1-9 this should be self-explanatory, but let me sum it up for any stragglers that haven't quite gotten the message yet.
Trying to prove your right at every difference of opinion within your relationship will cause you more headache and stress down the road. Learning to let someone else be right for a change (even though you know you're right) can do wonders for your boyfriend or girlfriend's self-esteem and ultimately your relationship.

So What Do You Think?
Do you agree with this list of reasons? Do you think it's better to not "always" be right in a relationship or do you think couples should fight to prove a point?
