Superior partners can sometimes be difficult to deal with due to their high expectations, strong opinions, and desire for control. They might also be less open to feedback or compromise, which can lead to challenges in communication and collaboration. However, effective communication and understanding their perspective can help navigate these difficulties.
Here are some tips on how to deal with a superior partner in a relationship:
Talk to them about how their behaviour makes you feel. Be direct and honest, but also respectful. Let them know that their need to be right all the time is making you feel belittled and disrespected.
Make it clear that you are not willing to be treated like a subordinate. You are an equal partner in this relationship, and you deserve to be treated with respect.
If your partner is trying to start an argument or make you feel bad, don’t take the bait. Walk away or change the subject.
If your partner’s need to be right is causing significant problems in your relationship, you may want to seek professional help.
