Hi,
My boyfriend and I have been having an ongoing argument over a few private topics. Some of which involve sex and very private things. So we've decided to get some general opinions and advice on them to see if we can resolve the issues. We are stuck in the "pointing at" stage of this and need to move on.
We're both trying to prove points and neither seems to be giving affirmation to the other.
So I make this post for anyone, any age, any sex, any background, to reply in a private message. I hope some of you have the time to help us out. Its just a matter or listening to both sides of the story and giving us your advice and opinions as far as who was right and who was wrong. And why.
Thank you for your time,
-Kristi and Steven

What do you do when one of you agrees with your point? Does it appease you, or do you just immediately find another point you need to make?

Sometimes I need to be heard, and I need to hear that I am right. But, even when it goes exactly as I want it to, then I back right back down. Okay, so what, I was right. Does that really matter in the long run? If I get stuck on a point like that, as soon as I hear "I was wrong" it all goes away.

If it continues even after the other person agrees with you, then you're fighting for the sake of fighting.
Thanks for this!

I am afraid you are both wrong. Don't worry though you are still very young and all will become clearer with age and experience. Be patient, be kind, listen more than speak, it all sorts itself out in the end.
Thanks for this!

Individuals are only experts on themselves, there is no generic "right" answer to any sexual questions. If something bothers you, it bothers you. If something bothers him, it bothers him. That's not right or wrong, it's personal preference and everyone gets to have one. Outside opinions, whether from we here on this board or from our partner does not really count because only we can decide what we want, need, like and want to do/have done for ourselves.

Who is right and who is wrong and why?

Have you heard the phrase "you can be right or you can be happy"....? I think that may apply.

I think you've already stated your problem. Neither one of you is listening actively to the other person. I'm guessing you're both being stubborn and want to be "right". At least that's how your post comes across.

Post the issue publicly and you'll get a lot more opinions.
Thanks for this!
