> This is why it's especially important for parents and spouses to be kind, calm, rational, patient, and loving at all times.
Both spouses and parents are human and being like that all the time is not possible.
Dealing with someone you just described, arrogant and defensive focused on being right is highly stressful and tiring. Loved one being constantly arrogant to you lowers you self esteem and your self perception too. At some point, ressentment over conceding yet another hill while being nice and calm while getting arrogance thrown at you boils over.
Or it all turns onto one sided abusive relationship if you fail to set boundaries. You can't have one sided good relationship.
