Ratbastid is right. The only reason you should be in an argument is to defuse it. The whole arguing to be right bit is entirely true.
Now, this doesn't mean you should let her win the argument, because then she's in the same position. Prevent the arguments from getting to the point where winning or losing matters. I've seen plenty of play arguments turn nasty when one thing has been said that actually offended the other person. If you slowly bring the argument to a close without getting emotional about it, not only will you not have it coming back to haunt you, but you'll seem mature in the process. Go you.
