I find that most times, all it takes is some non-emotional, logical conversation to find out that there was some type of misunderstanding... meaning that from our respective points-of-view, we were both right. And once the misunderstanding is cleared up, we both feel happier as well.
So I guess my strategy is to choose "happiness" first until the immediate emotions of the situation have subsided, then I choose to be "right" by seeking to understand her side and then explaining my own.
