I understand that. What I'm saying is that if he has to keep agreeing with her about a particular bad behavior, then, well, maybe he ought to consider quitting that particular bad behavior.
agreed, personal development is a big part of this also but not for her sake, for his own.
Right now, getting on her good side during these little spats is something he can do now, quickly without taking several months of books, learning cd's, individual counseling, etc. And it helps the other goal as well, learning how to stop arguments because in the end, no one wins an argument.
Example, say he argues every argument she puts before him and let's say for arguments sake that he is 110% right in every situation. He wins the argument, big deal, she's still pissed at him, angrier than before and no where closer to the finish line.
