Beware of Being “Right”
I can attest to this. Being right means nothing in a relationship unless it is combined with compassion. I&#x27;ve been married for 20 years, and life now sucks as I  am belittled or criticised on a regular basis. My children and I constantly walk on egg shells around my wife. And of course she is always right.<p>Having a partner who is always right is one of the worst things that can happen to anyone. Each day feels like a challenge to live without setting off the ticking time bomb that my wife is. Trouble is, I can&#x27;t seem to find a way to communicate with my wife. She doesn&#x27;t want to see a therapist. I am an immigrant in a foreign country and have no family or close friends I can turn to.<p>I&#x27;m just waiting for my kid to leave for college and then hopefully I can find a way out. I&#x27;ve reached a point where I detest people who are convinced they are right. The best thing anyone ever said to me when I told them that as I age I am less certain about everything and they said: &quot;It means you are growing up&quot;. I wish someone would tell my wife that. She is dead certain about everything in life.
