Always Being Right
It's damaging to decide that there's a "right" way to look at things and a "wrong" way to look at things and that your way of seeing things is right.
Don't demand that your partner see things the same way, and don't take it as a personal attack if they have a different opinion.
Look for a compromise or agreeing to disagree, and remember that there's not always a "right" or a "wrong," and that two points of view can both be valid.
