1. "MY EX WOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR ME"

Remember: under no circumstances should you ever mention your ex and compare your current lover to them. Fact: it is impossible to compete with the past. It only gives rise to complexes, neuroses, and feelings of inferiority. In addition, it will raise the question: is the previous relationship really over, or do you still want to continue? If you need your partner to do something for you, say so directly, without any references to days and people long gone.

2. "THAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD"

I know that sometimes it's very difficult, but try to accept all your partner's ideas and decisions with understanding and respect. Otherwise, at some point, he or she will simply stop sharing with you what is going on inside. Even if you find something in your partner's behavior strange or inappropriate, say so in a way that doesn't cause him or her pain or discomfort.

3. "IT'S YOUR FAULT"

It's a fact: putting the blame on someone else never solves the problem, but it severely undermines trust. That's why rubbing someone's nose in their mistake is not a good idea, even if they did make it. The best way out of such situations is to discuss how to find a way out together. Only after the problem is behind you and passions have calmed down can you return to what happened and how to avoid a repeat.

4. "SOMETIMES I WANT TO KILL YOU"

Most of the time, no one ever seriously thinks about using physical force, but it's still better not to say this phrase, even as a joke.

5. "YOU CAN NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE A HUMAN BEING"

Admit it, when you say this phrase, you don't really think so. Otherwise, you wouldn't be together, would you? This phrase is very dangerous: it makes self-esteem fall and leads to a lack of self-confidence. Never generalize or humiliate your loved one, and in times of emotional heat, ask yourself: is it worth ruining the relationship because your partner can't hang a shelf or cook dinner perfectly?

6. "I TOLD YOU SO!"

Emphasizing that you were right from time to time is very pleasant for your ego. But then what? Is it worth the feeling of a damaged relationship? Everyone has the right to make mistakes and learn lessons. And the really important task of a loving person during this difficult period is to support, help, and not judge.

7. "IF YOU LOVED ME, YOU WOULD..."

This phrase is one of the most common manipulative techniques among partners. But through constant psychological pressure, you make your loved one doubt the quality of your relationship. In the end, sooner or later she will get tired of it and do things her way.


8. "PLEASE DON'T EVER WEAR THAT AGAIN"
Clothing choices and fashion mistakes are forgivable because they don't make us bad or good people. Therefore, try to refrain from criticizing your partner's style and taste, even if you are extremely surprised by their fashionable outfit. Criticism will not help resolve this situation in any way: it is best to suggest that your loved one go shopping together.

9. "YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME"

You may think it sounds very sweet, but it actually humiliates and devalues you as a person. You should never completely dissolve into another person, no matter how much you love them. In addition to relationships, you should have your own interests, priorities, and goals in life.


10. "YOU ARE WORTHLESS"
If you allow yourself to say such phrases, think about why you are together. Perhaps you are trying to assert yourself at the expense of your partner by using words that offend and devalue them. But sooner or later, your partner will get tired of feeling worthless. And this is clearly not a healthy relationship.
