Cultural Note
Orgullo has a dual nature in Spanish relationships. Positive pride ('estoy orgulloso/a de ti') strengthens bonds and is a powerful expression of support. However, excessive orgullo—stubbornness and refusal to apologize—is seen as one of the biggest threats to a relationship. 'Tragar el orgullo' (swallow your pride) is common advice.
