Why is he so stubborn?

Okay, so me and hubby have been married for 12 years. He says that when we have an argument, that it is usually because I become defensive. I see it as if I say something that he does not agree with, he has to prove me wrong. Its almost like an obsession, he must be right. Some times it drives me nuts!!! Are all men like this? I won't lie, we married right out of high school, so I just don't know. I love him, and would never leave him, I just wish I could understand him better. It doesn't help that I am a very creative person, where he is a very logical person. We just don't think alike on anything (except the kids). Arrrggghhh!

lol, my advice to you is don't sweat the small stuff. If it is an argument over something little, just let it go. We've been married for 12 years, and we still argue, but now it is over more big stuff. :O)

Men are somewhat like babies, they like stuff to happen as they like it (not always though, sometimes we do agree on others opinions,... but only someties). just hop along with them, if things get screwed up by doing thigns and having thigns their way then... they will apologize in a sweet way and be sorry for it. But if you man doesnt even do that then he is a lil jerk...... Anywyas on serious issues, do sit down and have a nice peaceful discussion instead of fight it out! thats my adivce....

Thanks so much for your two cents on this! :O) Yes sometimes he apologizes, but more often than not, he is so stuck on being right that he misses it completely. LOL

LOL My husband can be extemely stubborn and hates to admitt when he's wrong. I don't know if all men are like this but all the ones that I know are. Heaven forbid we be driving and have to ask for directions, he'd drive in circles than admit that he was didnt know something, like how to get where we need to go.

Oh good, (not good that your hubby is stubborn, but good that it is apparently normal!) Although boy is it a pain! Thanks for your comment!
