“Admitting when I’m wrong — I’m as stubborn as they come, whereas my partner isn’t. In past relationships, I’ve sat and pouted in a grumpy mood rather than admitting I was wrong.
“By being honest with myself and my partner, we’re able to *complete* the argument, so to speak, and move on from it without bad feelings. It means we’re spending less time being in a mood with one another, and because we’ve established that level of trust, it’s meant that we’re generally more open about our feelings, too.”

“My husband has really helped me to admit when I’m wrong, and I feel like it’s improved so many of the other relationships in my life as well (family, friends, coworkers, etc.). Being able to admit you’re wrong and take accountability for your actions is a powerful thing! It saves so much time and effort because now I’m not trying to defend my actions (that were wrong) and not having to come up with excuses.”
