Sometimes a few words can damage a relationship, hurting your loved one.
At the same time, partners often pronounce them. What are these phrases?
"Me too"
Example:
- Love you!
- Me too.
The second one seems to be done automatically. Or rather, this is usually the case, because the partner did not bother to choose a couple of more beautiful words.
Of course, not everyone has enough imagination. That's why the Internet is a help. An example of an alternative phrase: "You can't imagine how glad I am that we can say these words to each other!" The feedback is obvious.
"I am who I am. And you have to accept me."
Sounds like "I don't care how you feel, accept even my bad qualities." It's better to say: "You know, right now I really need your support, I'm going through a difficult period in my life."
"I had to do it, otherwise I would have listened to it forever."
It is obvious that the person fulfilled the partner’s request to “get rid of him.”
Who would like it if someone did something good for them not from the heart, but just to “shut their mouth”?
"I don't know if she will allow it."
Wife - a despot? Of course, some people like to control others. But no one will be happy if they are blamed for something that didn't happen. The alternative is "I'll check."
By the way, some people like to joke with the phrase "let's see if my wife allows me", but you shouldn't even do that. Otherwise, you might regret it.
"Who asked you to do this?"
The wife cooked her husband a delicious dinner and asked him to pick up his clothes from the dry cleaners. But he forgot to do it.
His wife reproaches him, and he replies: “I don’t have to do this.”
- I don't have to do much for you either, but I do. I cook food and iron shirts.
- And who asked you to do all this?
Instead of apologizing, the husband showed that he does not appreciate his wife's efforts. This is certainly offensive.
Advice to those who couldn't resist saying this phrase: admit that you got carried away. And say that in fact your partner means a lot to you.
