Mine is one of those never-admit-error types. Once after I'd quit therapy for 2 months, she referred to herself as "less than perfect". That's the closest I've gotten.

I don't understand it either. Maybe it's part of her whole nobody-is-right-or-wrong-we-just-have-different-perspectives thing. Like she thinks it's bad for my mental health to think in terms of right and wrong anyway, so she's certainly not going to call herself wrong.

So, since I can't totally give up right/wrong thinking, I end up with a choice between being wrong myself or being contantly angry that she's wrong and won't admit it. No wonder therapy feels so awful lately.
