How stubborn is your man?!

[Wintersnow]

My husband is really stubborn. I think he's apologised to me over being wrong in an argument once in our 5 years together, he also waits for me to break the ice after a row even if he was batantly in the wrong, luckily we don't row very often. Is this a typical male thing?!

Personally not in my experience...some people are stubborn and tend to take little responsibility for their behaviour...its everyone elses fault but theirs!!!...

My Dh can and will apologise (I think he has improved over the years and so have I we can both be gits if we think we are in the right)and so do I..

sometimes you know you are out of order and should be man/woman enough to admit it..

It's not a man thing.

DH is not even a tiny bit stubborn. He can usually manage about 10 minutes of being out in the cold before he comes in with an apology and a cup of tea.

I, on the other hand, am much more stubborn. Not bad, but worse than him.

Maybe I see it as a man thing as my dad is very stubborn, so is DH's dad, and so is DH, will have to break the cycle with our sons, ha!

stubborn as an ox.

I ignore,he then has nothing to be stubborn against.

Very, very stubborn, and will not let anything go. It can be a Good Thing, e.g. when he's using his dogged determination to get the best for his clients or when he was locked in a (now infamous) battle with BT bastards. At other times it can be a pain in the arse - as I tell him often. I usually ask him if being right is more important than working towards a resolution.

Mine is very subborn, he will never say sorry even if he knows he is in the wrong, when we argue it's me that has to make the first move in order to keep the peace, otherwise I swear he would never speak to me! He is far too stubborn to make the first move. How's this for stubborn ... my partner got his knickers in a twist before the birth of our daughter because I said that I wanted my Mum with me when I had my c - section ( I knew he would pass out and be of no help at all) ... because I said I would prefer that she came into theatre with me and asked him to wait outside, he flatly refused to go to the hospital at all! ... and the git stuck to it - now that's stubborn!!

Not as stubborn as me!

DH is apropriately stubborn, I think.

He's no wimp gernerally, especially not a work, but he backs down pretty quickly with me.

DH is stubborn - not just a man thing as DD is also stubborn but nowhere near as stubborn as Dsis - they all have birthdays within 5 days of one another and this trait is very typical of their star sign
