What is the right thing to do?

Okay, so, i'm not actually in this situation at all, but i'm curious to see what the proper course of action would be, if it ever came up.

Say your SO is in an argument with somebody, they turn to you for support, but you actually think your SO is in the wrong.

What do you do? The only thing I can think of is try to avoid getting involved.

Tell them to calm down, and rationally go through the situation with them.

Or just ask them to drop it for the sake of peace and tranquility.

my SO and the room mate rarely see eye to eye so I got used to being in the middle of such situations.

Speak your mind, if only in private to your SO.

You are to support them personally and to love them. That doesn't mean you are to support their wrong ideas.

Luther is correct. That is the only way to properly deal with that type of situation.

If you don't want to be blunt, you could point certain factors that go against their viewpoint out, and let them feel they came to the conclusion that they were wrong themselves.

If this ever comes up for you, I suggest informing your SO exactly what you are thinking. Make sure to honestly explain and communicate your beliefs on the argumental situation. Your thoughts and advice may help your SO by providing a different view on the predicament.

I don't always agree with my husband's point of view when he's in conflict with someone else. That doesn't mean it then becomes a conflict between him and me. I can give him my opinion, and that often provides a second point of view for him to consider. Usually we just come to an "agree to disagree" arrangement. We certainly never argue over it - I'd hate to think that his issue with someone else could ever bring itself up as an issue between us.
