You know, I have found with observing just myself and my interactions with my H, that the need to be 'right,' or the need to 'correct' him comes from my own 'ego' need to feel good about myself -- at HIS expense. If I pursue this line, it can often lead to a bicker or spat, which ends up making one of us feel 'bad' on some level.
Now, if he wants to take the wrong road, yes, I need to speak up. If he is going to do something that could potentially hurt him or me, then I need to 'correct.' In most other instances, however, ask yourself, 'what is the purpose of me needing to be right here, or to correct here? We all have a POV, and we all follow our own paths in life. Is one better than another? Not necessarily. In most instances, it's just different.
But what does being 'right' really get you? So what if your wife wants to call something a hard drive rather than a CPU. What does correcting her get you, other than a surge of feeling good about being right -- at her expense?
