All About Magic of Making Up

Do you find it hard to say “I’m wrong” in your relationship? If yes, you probably find it equally as difficult to admit that you don’t know the answer. Men particularly suffer from this second one but so do a lot of women too in relationships.

If in a relationship you think that your partner will think less of you just because of this you better think again. You might even think that they will think that you’re unintelligent or incompetent somehow and so you’d rather “wing it” just to impress them. Bad idea.

Maybe you’re concerned that people will think less of you?

Research shows that we avoid these seemingly self-depreciating words simply because of the positive image we want to project to our partners. You want to look good in they eyes of your partner. To accomplish this, you claim to know stuff you don’t know.
Maybe you’re used to steadfastly defending a position you’ve taken in a discussion or factual argument even after you’ve been proven wrong. Many folks do this in relationships and it’s no wonder that they seem to push their partner away.

Here’s a quick question for you if you’re in this position.

Do you believe that it’s possible that admitting you’ve made a mistake or admitting that you don’t know the answer to something can actually work in your favor to make you look good in your partner’s eyes? The truth is it’s possible.

When you say “I don’t know” or “I’m wrong” you’re going to instantly let your partner know that that you’re honest and confident in your abilities and open to disclosing what could be considered (by short-sighted people) as imperfections you might have.

Look, we all know that there’s no one who is ALWAYS right. Your readiness to admit that you’re wrong or that you don’t know something reminds your partner that you’re truly confident, that you dare to be different and can be trusted to be honest.

It’s possible to be wrong to be right.
