I do and I also apologize.

Of course I admit when I am wrong! None of us are right all the time! But I know some who would never admit it! If you are a secure person within yourself I believe you can handle it!!

I always admit when I am wrong.I don't see any other way.It isn't like nobody knows.

One of my favorite movie scenes was the Pres. of the Network in a conversation with Holly Hunter in Broadcast News where he said to her "than I am absolutely wrong and you are just absolutely right, it must be wonderful to know you are always the smartest person in the room. Her response is "no it's awful". I love that movie.

It is hard to admit being wrong but I do it. That is how we learn life's lessons.

Yes.

Thankfully, I don't have enough of an ego do to otherwise.

If proven wrong, I will absolutely own up to it. I have no respect for those that never admit they're wrong when its been 100% proven otherwise (not necessarily by me but just in general).

No never wrong.

Yes, of course, I admit it when I'm wrong. I'm not G-d. Don't know everything, and it's always interesting to learn new things and hear different viewpoints.

Him taking full blame for being wrong i don't think i have heard in 36 years!!

@kelsey17 I had to laugh when I read your post. I used to tell my husband ( ex) that he would blame someone else (me) if he stepped on his own foot.

To answer the O/P, I will admit when I'm wrong, but will not take kindly to being falsely accused.

Your husband sounds EXACTLY like mine.....it always amazes me even after all these years that he NEVER blames himself!! Must be twins!
