Do you listen to your husband/boyfriend

If a situation comes up, and you and your husband/boyfriend dissagree. What do you do? If he is wrong, and you are sure of it, do you go along with him anyway?

My husband is my boy friend and my boy friend is my husband. So i listen to both. Hee Hee, i know it sounds funny. I dont have anybody in this world so close to me except my guy. So i listen to my guy whatever he says and i am sure he says the right thing.

This is an interesting question! When my husnabnd is wrong I usually tell him what I think and the argument/disagreement either goes on or it ends there. Sometimes though to save an argument I agree with him because I know I am right and that's what matters hahaha.

I have grown to learn that there hardly ever is a right or wrong to a situation. Everyone sees situations differently. I learned to listen to the others viewpoints and then reach a compromise between the two.

I don't. I am entitled to my opinion and he is entitled to his. If we cnnot agree then we agree to differ. However, I hate losing so if I can prove that he is wrong I will come back and say, 'Ha, ha, I told you so'. He is not the argumentative type and has a great sense of humour. It is one of the reasons I love him.

I think it is being very dishonest to just go along with someone else when you disagree. I also think it is dishonest always act like you are right without first hearing them out. My husbnad and I always talk things out. Many times I am right while other times he is right. We have come so far by admiting when we are wrong. When you truely love someone, it doesnt matter who is really right or wrong and you dont need the last word. It matters that you love each other and you both work through the differences together

Depends on the situation. If we're disagreeing on what to eat then we make seperate meals, but if its something big, like moving, we weigh the pros and cons and go from there. Its a team effort and if one of us ever feels truely uncomfortable about something, out of respect for the other person we don't do it.

I refuse to back down. If I am right, I am right. He will be stubborn about it, but in the end he agrees with me. Ha ha ha.

No if he is wrong I will not go along with it at all, I will stand my Ground, even though I have to be honest my Boyfriend is normally right it is not very often he is wrong. It is not very often he will disagree with me, so when he does I know I am wrong.

While communication is key it is imperative to be open to one another. I have a way of knowing things and he is slowly learning to take heed. There have some things that have helped us and some that have not when we have done things his way. It has turned more into me kind of running the show. He does not stand on a merit when wrong and does not bull headly hold on to that. I can often tell him how it will turn out and give him the result that it will lead to. Fortunately we do not get to that very often. I do not go along with anybody. It has to benefit me in some way.

When my husband and I have a disagreement, I won't go along with what he say, nor do I expect him to go along with everything I say either. I feel he has an opinion of things and so do I. I will keep explaining to him though, if I know that I am right. Usually when neither one of us know for sure who is right, we just stop the conversation until we find out the facts instead of agruing about it. We hard ever argue anyway. If I am wrong, I will admit it. I have often swore I was right about something and come to find out, he was right all along and I will go to him and apologise for it. He just smiles and says, see I am right some of the time LOL.

I usually will talk with him about my point of view and why I think he's wrong. He will listen to me and usually we work it out. He always listens to my side of things as well as I listen to his and if I explain myself clearly on why he's wrong he will go along with me. The same holds true if the situation is turned around. We have great communication in our relationship and always respect each other's opinions and really listen to each other.

My husband says that I should be a lawyer, because I will argue & get proof that I am right when I know I am, lol, but I can also admit when I am wrong. But if I know my hubby is wrong I will get proof to show him he is wrong. I think it kinda hurts his ego a little because he thinks he's always right, like any man, but he knew what he was getting into before he married me :) So no I won't go along with him when I know he is wrong.

No, I don´t go along with him if I´m sure I´m right. I try to get my point across and accept it if he disagrees. After all, I´m not the holder of the truth. But I wouldn´t say something that I don´t think or fake that I agree with him to avoid an argument. Blessings D.

As much as I hate to admit it, I usually just go along with him so not to cause a conflict that I know will happen. It just isn't worth it sometimes to battle over it.

It depends on the situation. If I think it is just something trivial, then I just say "what ever". On the other hand if it is important and I know I am right I will definitely persue the converstation.

They are not always right and I usually make my point clear without arguing. Sometimes he listens and others he will insist in the subject, they can be stubborn and won't listen to what you say about it but I still explain what I think of the situation.

I think even after being a male... and a boyfriend... i think its really too much to expect... though i would definately expect my GF to explain why does she feel i am wrong and how can i prevent it from happening next time... mostly i think Female or a Girlfriend has a better word to say of advice as far as financial or Emotional matters are concerned and Males have a better word to say as far as Psychological and Professional matters
