Why am i so damn stubborn?
I can freely admit that i am a really stubborn person. I always think i'm right and i hate being wrong.
My boyfriend of just over 3 years is the exact same way though, and so fighting with us is never ending and very hard to deal with because we both never admit when we're wrong. We will argue and argue and argue because we hate to give in. Its awful and in my head i want to stop and just be able to say "Yeah okay hunny, you're right" but for some reason i can't! Its very frustrating.
When we fight, sometimes i get so over frustrated i just shut down and give him almost the "silent treatment" which obviously is very immature and i dont really mean to, i just get so overwhelmed i literally just shut down. We're both so very stubborn and i have no idea how to remedy it. I love him so much, and i just want to figure it out so it doesn't end in us breaking up down the road.
I should have added that i am 22 and my boyfriend is 23, sorry.

1 Being Stubborn is a good trait. But as with all blessings, you need to know when to be reasonable. Ask yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed *Is getting my way on this issue worth what it is costing?* Is there a way to work out the problem so that both of you get part of what you want? Sometimes arguing is a habit. When you started getting steamed up stop your self and ask *Why am I doing this?*
Decide what is worth fighting about. Maybe a secession or two with the school counselor will help you put things in perspective.

You both may need to work on communication then, if you both have stubborn personalities. If you two truly love each other then you will make sacrifices when you have been proven wrong. Nothing as simple as that should break up what might be meant to be.
