There's a difference between being right and being relevant. If you insist on being right at the cost of being relevant, then people will simply stop listening to you, because whatever you're saying isn't going to be interesting to them. It sometimes appears to be a fundamental desire of ours for what we feel is relevant, our ability to be right about something, is the same as what other people want to be relevant. It's what I've observed to be the crux of privilege. Those with privilege think that just because they think something is relevant, it is. They're just right, not necessarily relevant. In the context of a relationship, constant demands for someone's rightness to be their relevance breeds contempt, which undermines the whole foundation of the relationship. Over time, love is replaced with contempt.
