Don’t Win Every Argument

It is not necessary to win every argument and when you are going through a divorce you should always choose your battles wisely.

Let’s look at a couple of examples:

EXAMPLE 1.  Your Ex claims that you are controlling.  If you argue this point with them you may appear to be controlling and not able to handle criticism, but if you accept the fact that in their view you are controlling and respond by saying “Okay, you feel that I am controlling, I accept that”.  You will definitely accomplish two things, first you accept their feelings and two you end an argument.

2.  You and your Ex are arguing over possession, specifically a dinning room set.  You really want it well if you end the argument and allow your Ex to take possession of the dinning room set you will probably save yourself a lot of heart ache and money, you will be taking one step forward on starting your life fresh and new and if your Ex was just pushing your buttons they loose.

Choose your battles and don’t expect to win every argument.
