Many relationships end because of pride. Being right verses being happy is a chance best left untaken. While many of us feel some satisfaction from being right the feeling is only temporary and eventually once you realize you've allowed an irrational decision to cost you the love of your life that immature choice will gnaw away at you forever. When it comes to love most people equate pride with defeat but there are two sides to pride and relationships are not big enough to handle both of them. The alternate to being right is accepting defeat or swallowing your pride. When you tell yourself you are swallowing your pride for your partner what exactly are you swallowing? Self importance, smugness, arrogance? These are all signs of pride that should be swallowed otherwise they will stand in the way of your true happiness. When you love someone the pride you have should be the honor and dignity you feel towards your partner for being in your life. Never let misplaced pride keep you from spending your life with the one you love. If you allow a disagreement to separate you, when you look back on your decision later in life you will regret passing up on what could have been.
