Ever dated anyone who is never wrong and stubborn?

Asked by Ozzman (97points) March 30th, 2009

I’m dealing with this very topic at the moment. I’m at the point now, where if a subject comes up that involves her and I, I don’t want to talk to her about it because she has an excuse for everything. Any advice?

My boyfriend…...But I know he would say the same thing about me…...

I am surrounded by this type on a daily basis and I totally understand your frustrations. I’m fairly certain that the only way for them to correct this, is for them to realize that they are in control of their life, not anybody else. Its the most annoying personality trait known to the human race. I am anxious to see what tips are presented.

Well, I was involved with this guy who honestly never thought anything he did was wrong, even when he hurt everyone around him. It actually got to the point where he would “edit” his memory, that is to say, he would remember something that would make him look good and make me look bad when in fact it was the other way around. He wasn’t stubborn, necessarily, he just didn’t understand why people never saw things from his point of view (but women are never attracted to me, that’s why I went after your best friend while I was sleeping with you…).

My boyfriend and I are similar to @cheebdragon and her boyfriend. How do we deal with this? We make small adjustments even if we think it’s silly to do so. For example, now he calls my house phone if I’m at home because I get little service in my house. Does he think it’s silly? Yes he does, but he does it anyway. By the same token, we never spend a night at his apartment anymore because he shares a room with a roommate. I don’t particularly like this, but I do it anyway.

I was told I was stubborn by a girlfriend once; the thing is, she wanted me to agree to the craziest ideas…

Does such a person exist? I’ve only ever known always wrong and always stubborn.

@hungryhungryhortence: I think what he means is that this person always thinks she’s right and can never admit being wrong and even when she is wrong, finds excuses.

@KatawaGrey That would be the other party, many times wrong and stubborn ;)
