If you’re married or in a long-term relationship, you should learn to leave
some things unsaid.; you might end up hitting the wrong
target, so be extra careful at where you aim.
Here, we have summed up some statements and phrases that marriage
therapists consider deadly to your relationship. Strike them off of your
vocab list. The sooner you do that, the better in terms of your
relationship.
1.“When are you going to do those dishes? Don’t just leave them there!”
The dishes are a sort of place holder for loads of things; you’ll see
them lying around often. But still, using accusatory terms for your partner like you ‘never’ do the dishes or you ‘always’ leave them lying
there is ending it the same way every time, with you and your partner
being in a heated argument.
Instead, accept readily the fact that we all forget such little
things in life every now and then. Give your partner some leniency when
they neglect some duties so you do not end up accusing them of things
they do not even deserve.
2.“You are acting just like your mother.”
When in an argument, just focus on your partner and yourself.
Comparing your partner to your in-laws isn’t fair. It diverts the topic
from your problem at hand.
Bringing in outsiders in personal matters isn’t a pretty sight no
matter the nature of your relationship. It’s symbolic of your inability
to tackle the issue with the end result that you thrust it on someone
outside your relationship. Everyone deserves benefit of the doubt.
3.“You consider yourself better than everyone.”
