Do you have a hard time admitting you are wrong? Are you prideful? I can be at times. I know my boyfriend is the worst. He never wants to admit how right I am... at all times.

I am the opposite I tend to take the blaime for everything even the bad weather. LOL. Now I am going to be truthful. I use to take the blaime for everything now I do not feel guilty for things that is not my fault. I will admitt when I am wrong but when I am right I will not back down.

I'm glad you no longer take the blame for other people's faults. Otherwise you may lose who you are.

LOL....I do have a hard time admitting when Im wrong, but I WILL do it and I think that deserves a certain measure of respect. Men are the worse when it comes to admitting they are wrong...especially when we the women are right! My husband admitted the other day that there was no way he could have built our house because when it came down to it he had no clue what to do...And then he Thanked me for doing such a good job!! LOL...I literally marked it on the calendar! And as for pride...Eeveryone is allowed some because everyone can be...thats human nature..People just tend to be a bit over excessive at times..and then you just wanna slap them...but dont..LOL...Okay I need some coffee cause Im jabbering!

I don't have a problem admitting I'm wrong, often do it just to do it before someone else does. I do know people who are NEVER wrong though and that annoys me to no end - I will seek out ways to prove them wrong :(

Well, I admit when I'm wrong. don't like to, but rather be one to say that yes, I do make mistakes. We are human, capable of error, and if that wasn't the case, we wouldn't be having folks in Iraq, wouldn't have no major problems like hurricanes and tsunamis, or in personal relationships, admit that yes, this man/woman that I chose who I thought was wonderful is really a flake and I need to let him/her go. I read, and it could be the Bible where it said that pride goeth before the fall. I tend to feel that is so. It is good to be right, but you gotta know when to say well, I failed too.

I see that you have changed your avatar. Nice pic. Looks more mature than the last one. When I am hot and seeing red during the argument, I will never admit it is my fault. I always make it a point to go through the events that lead up to the disagreement that makes me see things in a different perspective. Once the anger or temper has been cooled, if it is really my fault, I will admit it and apologize for my mistake. If I can make amendments, I will to correct the situation. There is nothing wrong in admitting you are in the wrong. Problem lies in learning from it and making sure that it will not happen again. If you can recognize that you are in the wrong and admit it, that is a first step to becoming a better person. Taking the next step to correct the situation and ensure that it will not happen again will make you a better person than you are now. That I think is a good thing. No?

it depends on the situation given.Sometimes i find it easy to admit that i am at fault under certain circumstances.Sometimes i just couldn't admit it because i have to protect my pride.Too much pride in me that can't be ignored.

Well, I guess if I ever was wrong, I'd be able to admit it... Nah, seriously though, if I'm wrong I own up to it. That usually doesn't happen though, but when it has, I do the right thing.

Never. If I'm wrong about something, I'll admit it as soon as I know I'm wrong.

Well as they say "pride goeth before a fall". Pride has it's place. We can be proud of something we created or a well done job. Pride can cross over into self importance. That is a fine line. None of us is that important. Being able to admit you are wrong or learning to say you are sorry is important in the development of a person or relationship. I hope you both learn to accept each others failings and learn that being right all the time is not always the way to go. Good luck!

Me, when i am wrong i can admit it, it is very easy for me to admit eh. We are all humans we must learned to admit our mistakes. Sometimes i don't like to be friends with someone who is prideful. I don't understand them and why it is very hard for them to swallow their pride.

Yes, I am very prideful. I don't like to admit when I am wrong at all. But I do, when I absolutely have to. Just not one of my favorite things to do. Because of my pride, arguments have been had and it does cause a great deal of problems so I am trying to ease up on it and humble myself a great deal. It's not easy!

When I'm wrong, I don't have a hard time admitting it. Sometimes I even go along and pretend it was me that was wrong just to keep the peace. My Libra personality likes harmony in everything.

OH men and who is right. I dont think I have even ran across a man that thought a woman was right or even admitted it. Most men wont tell a woman they are right it must be some kind of a code they live by. LOL. Missed you xoxo
