This may not be the greatest situation for me to respond to, being as I usually screw stuff like this up - but /using/ that experience, I can theoretically suggest a different course of action. Or rather, discuss a different one.
I generally find that the key to being happy in a relationship (for myself) comes down to an issue of correctness. The end claus is, relationship-partner-A (myself) is always wrong. If I forget this, I might feel like I stood up for myself, or won an argument, but it always makes me less happy in the end.
Therefore, I earnestly find letting stuff go an easy policy. I might see it in the extreme of 'cave on everything', but because that's stupid, other people don't have to.
It just generally goes that winning an argument/not backing down has never been worth the feelings of unpleasantness and uneasiness. Unless it's a huge deal that you're going to regret backing down on forever. Then... maybe not so much.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
