agree to disagree
Accept lasting difference
Agree to disagree is to accept that neither party will change the other's mind and stop arguing about it.
The phrase acknowledges persistent disagreement while ending the dispute amicably: We'll never see eye to eye on politics, so let's just agree to disagree.
It's a conversational truce, not a resolution.
