Your way or the highway

So, it's your way or the highway, hmm?
What you're saying is that I'm wrong and you're right?
What you're saying is that I have to do things your way, and the problem I am having now is because i don't agree with the way you do things, so - to quote you exactly - I'll just have to get over it.

THAT's the solution to my problem. To get over it and just do things your way.
Not for a second do we entertain any other possible option.
Unfortunately, I can see your point. It's a bad habit of mine. A need for balance. I can see how things must look from your side of the argument.

But you don't see mine. We don't try and understand how things look from my side of the argument.

And so i just say, Ok, I'm over it, I won't mention it again.
What I'm really over is this dead-end conversation and this is the easiest way to end it.

And so it seems i've just caved in and taken the easy way and accepted that you're right. Your belief in your utter rightness is confirmed. Vindicated.

I wonder what it must be like to be inside your head. So black and white. So simple and easy. You're right, everyone else is wrong. No further thought or agonising required.
I think I envy that.
