Anyone needs to run from someone who cannot admit they make mistakes. The sheer Hubris of this mindset is unbelievable. It's bad enough having to work with people who refuse to admit their mistakes, but I can't imagine being married to someone like this. Someone like this has massive control issues as well as inferiority complexes up the wazoo.

Another red flag is someone who cannot say "I'm sorry." Those types of people are also ones to avoid like the plague. And anyone who dates someone like this and thinks, "Well, after we're married, they will change," are in for the shock of their lives. People like this do NOT change.

If you are in this situation, how the heck do you handle someone like this. Issues need to be discussed, not twisted.
This is the kind of sh*t you need to have ferreted out before you marry someone.
Sorry. My brother is divorcing one of these pyschos as we speak. Even their marriage counselor couldn't be right.

Study the power and control wheel. Heres a link: http://www.helpnowshelter.org/sites/...er-control.gif

I would also study: Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD)

Good luck.

This is my mother to a T.

I would bet a hundred dollars that your wife is a Leo. These people think they know EVERYTHING. At least you can divorce your wife, it's a lot harder to divorce a parent.

OP, read some of the posts here. Some of the people here put anyone you've come across with those same qualities to shame.

good OP. they dont think they are never wrong they just act that way. they were taught to express self confidence and never doubt themselves, even when dead wrong. some of us did not learn it that way. here is the hard part to understand, confident people are attractive people. we love a confident person. even if they are a complete ding bat. we even elect them president and follow them to our destruction cheering all the way.
