Sounds like maybe you should just hunker down and tell her you want to do it because you want to do it. If it doesn't make any difference to you and it means the world to her, it's just a little fib that won't be noticed anymore once it's done.

It sounds like it's more important to her that you change it than it is important to you to keep your pride about whether or not you're glad to do it. If she'll drop it when it's done, like I said, it's just a little fib, or extension of the truth rather that you're happy to do it b/c you want to do it.

Sometimes men just need to go with the flow, and this flow seems pretty harmless. What is it really going to hurt for you to tell her you want to do it because it'll make you happy (when, in actuality, it will make you happy b/c you two won't be fighting about it anymore, so perhaps it's not a fib afterall!!)

Suck it up and realize just how incredibly petty it is... or like mollyL said about splitting hairs.
