As deep as the concept of an afterlife to as basic as 'oh he's just working late, he's not cheating on me.'. Self deception seems to be a defense mechanism innate in many.

This is what I was eluding to in my reply to this thread. Maybe I'm reading the OP differently than most other people. As
Abaya put it, in an argument sometimes right isn't always Right. Also, there are many types of arguments so maybe I'm pulling my answer from more personal, emotional arguments then scientific, logical arguments. We generally answer due to our situation or most recent experiences I suppose.
In the emotional arguments, which is the ones a majority of people pull away from, I believe many people do lie to themselves and refuse or stop arguing to keep the peace. This is where you can lose both your happiness and the right choice for you. Ignoring the disagreement is a temporary happiness...but eventually you need to say your piece to keep your peace. No one is going to look after you except for you.
