Should I Give In to Keep the Peace?

S

Does it make sense sometimes to give in on a difficult disagreement, just to keep the peace? Sure. If it will keep the peace.

But peace is not measured only in loud words, slammed doors, and angry muttering. It is most harmed by silent resentment.

Never say yes if you’re not OK with the results.

Keep looking for that Third Alternative.
