I think when you live with other adults there is a certain amount of conflict resolution that has to be agreed upon on an ongoing basis. Stuff I say/have said:
"We can agree to disagree."
"I'll be doing it this way, you're free to do it your way."
"This is not worth arguing about. Let's step away from this for now and get a little perspective."
"Really? I'd like to hear why your way works for you."
"I am going to walk away now since I feel like we are arguing in circles."
You get the picture. Little household chores are really not a hill worth dying on. But being right isn't something one person or another is entitled to own on every incident, either. This is just adult relationships. If it's a spouse, how about a little joint counseling? No one gets to abuse me in my own home. Obviously I can't possibly be wrong about everything! Right?
