One Way To Avoid Resentment, Anger And Frustration In A Relationship

Do you like -- or even need -- to be right? When you're having a discussion with your partner or a friend, are you determined to "win"? In the video above, Dr. Phil says, “If you live like that, you’re going to have a lot of conflict, and you’re going to spend a lot of time feeling resentment, anger and frustration.”

Be on the show: Conflict so big it needs a Dr. Phil solution?

Instead, Dr. Phil suggests that you make the decision to be happy, instead of always trying to be right. “If you make your relationship a competition, that means that there’s a winner and a loser, and nobody likes to be a loser,” he cautions.

Think about being right and ask yourself if it’s worth the trouble that you’re investing just so you can say, ‘I was right.’”
