That's kind of awesome actually
It's amazing but emotionally frustrating. The problem with your partner actually always being right is that you feel like you never win or that your perspective may not be properly heard. The flip side is you don't have stupid arguments thst you didn't bring the stupid to and that's also awesome, but rough on the self esteem. Definitely requires learning better emotional processing so you actually understand the need or emotion at the core of what you're saying/requesting
I'm the kind of guy who will look stuff up. I think it's really important to admit when you're wrong and the other person was right. Don't move goal posts or claim you misunderstood. Just own it.
Like I was having a debate with my partner about if it was faster to go all the way up and over, or make a lot of turn-right then turn-left. I thought the ladder was faster because it approximates a straight line. She was like no that's crazy. Eventually I found that's called Manhattan distance and she was right, and I fully admitted defeat.
Love this. People who display like trophies the times they were wrong have learned one of life’s simple truths: there are no trophies for being right, just crappy knockoffs of the learning process one forgot.
