Linda Salazar at Awaken the Genie Within has a relevant post on The Need to Be Right. That, of course, was one of the points of Cyn’s comments to the last post:
“If [my] husband agrees with me, he says nothing. Often he disagrees. (difference of opinion)
Then it’s an argument; each trying to prove I’m right. We both can be right, but we fight for our point. I never argue with anyone, but my husband.”
Linda ends her post with: “After all, would you rather be right or happy?” The truth is, a lot of people would rather be right. My guess is they think their self-worth is at stake. What do you think?

Very true. My selfworth is at stake. But differences of opinion make life interesting. How much more interesting I could be, if I weren’t always defending my opinions.
