Learn English – Is this a correct sentence? “I often give in to her.”

idiomsphrasal-verbsword-usage

I'm the one studying English now.

My girlfriend and I like to watch movies, however, I like to watch action movies while she like to watch romantic movies. So we often have conflicting opinions on choosing movies. And so I might say,

"I give in to her frequently".

I'm not sure whether this is right or not, what is the better expression.
Could you help?

Best Answer

I often give in to her.

is indeed a correct sentence, although you might want to consider:

I often defer to her.

They both mean that you are letting the other person have their way. However, give in might be construed as weakness, or as a way to end a protracted argument, whereas defer might be interpreted more as being polite and gentlemanly.
