why do women have to be right even when they wrong?

Because I say so! The first answer got it right.

Some women want to prove that they are right by using a self fulfilled prophecy. It is part of a mind-game.

May I suggest that you do some research reading on Emotional Inteligence and Transactional Analysis. This may help you understand why some people play silly games to get their way

[edit] SummaryIn the first half of the book, Berne introduces transactional analysis as a way of interpreting social interactions. He describes three roles or ego states, known as the Parent, the Adult, and the Child, and postulates that many negative behaviors can be traced to switching or confusion of these roles. He discusses procedures, rituals, and pastimes in social behavior, in light of this method of analysis. For example, a boss who talks to his staff as a controlling 'parent' will often engender self-abased obedience, tantrums, or other childlike responses from his employees.

The second half of the book catalogues a series of "mind games" in which people interact through a patterned and predictable series of "transactions" which are superficially plausible (that is, they may appear normal to bystanders or even to the people involved), but which actually conceal motivations, include private significance to the parties involved, and lead to a well-defined predictable outcome, usually counterproductive. The book uses casual, often humorous phrases such as "See What You Made Me Do," "Why Don't You — Yes But," and "Ain't It Awful" as a way of briefly describing each game. In reality, the "winner" of a mind game is the person that returns to the Adult ego-state first.

One example of these games is the one named "Now I've got you, you son of a *****," in which A is dealing with B, and A discovers B has made a minor mistake, and holds up a much larger and more serious issue until the mistake is fixed, basically holding the entire issue hostage to the minor mistake. The example is where a plumber makes a mistake on a $300 job and underestimates the price of a part as $1 when it should be $3. The customer won't pay the entire $300 unless and until the plumber absorbs the $2 error instead of just paying the bill of $302.

Not all interactions or transactions are part of a game. Specifically, if both parties in a one-on-one conversation remain in an Adult-to-Adult ego-state, it is unlikely that a game is being played.

OMG.. my man and I argue about this alot its not just your women its 80% of women do this ok what is comes down to is that if its a big issue like cheating or lieing ok she needs to admit it, but if its minor let it go a happy wife makes a happy life. We should admit when we are wrong all the time I wish i could say I do sometimes I am wrong and I wanna explain why why I knew I was wrong and my man says that dont make since. Both men and women have their ways mine is minor but if she is just being like that all the time you might wanna have a serious talk with her if not its kinda normal for us to be that way at times it comes with the territory. good luck!

They don't. Not all women are that way. This just happens to be your wife's personality. And there's no need for you to get mad. Instead, learn to communicate better with each other, agree to disagree on certain topics and put each other in the best light in front of others.

Because we are right, now go get me a lemonade!

Seriously, this has to do with the individual, not gender specific. BTW- Your wife sounds like my man!

Rules for a happywife/Girlfriend

#1the wife or GF is always right

#2when wife or GF is wrong SEE RULE #1

sounds like an emotional relationship.

we can be wrong, and we can admit it when we are too. not all women embrace this, however.

We have the Vagina and we are always right!!!!
