How do you end an argument even if your partner will not admit his wrong?

It is a mistake to think someone has to admit they are wrong. The majority of times, there is no reason to push for it. You need to step back yourself, and ask if this argument is going to matter in two weeks, two months, or two years. If the answer is no, likely, your best bet is to just drop it.
