I want to share how much peace the title of this post brings me now.

 

every time my Idiot AH says something that I know is wrong (today it was that ZICAM makes my very bad  cold worse)  I say "thanks honey You may be right let me think about it"

 

 

and I go on my way.   all the while I'm thinking about it the way I want and he thinks I'm taking it under advisement.

 

 

his favorite thing to say to me is  "you would be wrong"     so this is bringing me great peace.

so much less fighting in this house since I started with "NOT MY CIRCUS NOT MY MONKEYS" (my version of Let go and Let God)

Fighting and arguing hang in the air and leave
A nasty scent, both parties feel hurt and in pain.

I am in love with "not my circus, not my monkeys"! I have it printed out hanging on my desk at work. :) Thank you for sharing that, it's perfect.

I used to say, "You may be right" and then walk away. Good for you because peace and serenity is priceless!

I think my AH would keel over if I said that. I can't wait to try it

I love this tool, also you might be right is another good one. I also said, im sorry you feel that way. Never taking responsibility for how another feels when they are blaming you for something. Thanks for sharing.x

I use that phrase "you might be right" all the time to anyone. There really is no come back for it except "I am right" but then I can just let it go. I realize I have more peace than the argumentative person
