Sometimes it is ok to let an argument drop, especially if it is about the stupid stuff. Just like you want him to let your little mistakes drop he wants to let the little arguments drop. In a relationship you will have a million tiffs. You pick your battles. The ones that really matter. I am not saying you say nothing. You do, but I don't think a lot of things need to be "worked out". They say never go to bed mad. If that were true I wouldn't have slept for 5 years because we had hit that rocky part of marriage where we just couldn't get along because we had both grown in different directions. That doesn't mean we didn't love each other, it just meant that we had to learn to grow back together. There are times when things just can't be resolved before bed. Those are the things that can break up a relationship if you can't just wait it out. A life time together is a long time and there will be many things you will not agree on at first or ever. Sometimes you just have to agree to dissagree. So you pick your battles. You stand your ground on the things really important to you. Let some of the other things slide.

As far has him correcting you all the time. That sucks big time. My husband used to do that to me. He would correct my spelling in the love letters that I sent him when we were first dating. I tried to correct him just to get him back but like your guy it didn't go over well. Finally I just started saying "So?" For me it worked. I stopped apologizing for things that shouldn't be appologized for. We all make gaffs. Ooops, I goofed. Once I stopped being bothered by the corrections I didn't notice them anymore and for some reason he stopped making them. If he said something that really hurt my feelings then I would tell him that he hurt my feelings then I would leave it at that. I think he needed to correct me because he was afraid he wasn't good enough for me. He is 4 years older then me and was afraid that it mattered. I think maybe he was trying to make me see how smart he was or some stupid thing like that since he felt that I was "too beautiful to go out with a dork like him." That is paraphrasing his own words. He just couldn't understand or see just how handsome and wonderful I think he is even though I tell him everyday and think he is a stud and mean it when I say it. No he doesn't look like a movie star but his smell makes my heart beat faster, the feel of his skin and the hair on his chest makes me feel safe and secure. The sound of his voice, his very presence calms me and makes me ok. But he didn't understand that and still forgets at times.

So anyway I hope this helps,
Carrie
