An article written by a woman, for a woman’s magazine, which only quotes other women. Halfway through this I began to get the feeling that something was off and in going back to check, discovered the “dripping with estrogen” effect was due to an entirely woman’s point of view. I’m wondering why the original poster felt the need to post this on a board predominantly read by men.
Very.
“Ending an argument with the ‘D-word’ can stop your partner in their tracks,”
Dishes.
10. The lab report is positive.
There appears to be merit in what you say. We seldom argue, but when we do, one side or the other just shuts up. It’s hard to have an argument if you are the only one speaking. It works for us, and today is our 56th anniversary.
In high school, I once gained a collection of 8-track tapes after a breakup, but then I lost them in the next breakup. :-(
"Calm down, you're overreacting."
To each his own.
I posted it because it is a fruitful article.
Men AND women can benefit from staying far from words that cut.
The almost 50 posts on this thread come from men and women, offering insights and commentary that educate fellow FReepers.
I find it hard to believe there are so many thin skinned crybabies. Everything mentioned here so far should be forgotten by the next morning.
The real dangerous things you should never say:
#1 I would leave you if I knew where to go.....or any other version of “leave you”.
My mother, when I was really mad and threatening to do bad things for revenge, always said the same thing...”Don’t burn your bridges behind you.”
Excellent advice. Tere are certain things that you can destroy that can never be replaced. Threatening to leave, divorce, or similar acts burn a bridge that you will never replace.
#2 Threats. “If you break your ....whatever I am not going to nurse you. I’ll put you in a nursing home.”.
There are other examples, but you should get the point Each of the above is a definite threat to end the relationship. Threats are sure death to a relationship.
You may still live in the same house after a serious threat, but remember a house is not a home. The romance is ended.
I get a regular dose of 9, 7, 4 and 1
“Wake up. I can’t sleep.”
“What are you thinking?”
“Where is this relationship going?”

Actions that cut, or inactions, are 1,000 times worse than any air cuts. Few relationships end over ill formed audio.

How about:
Didn’t your hair used to be darker?

I always say, “Don’t get nervous.”
Thats because in general, women run on feelz, men run on logic.
They believe they don’t have to justify feelings so whatever they do when running on feelings is ok and not able to be criticized.
Combine that with the fact most don’t feel they ought to be accountable or responsible for what they do in their dealings with men in their lives, and generally don’t want to have to live under the same relationship rules they demand men live under...
Yeah. Girls are icky and weird but still make me me feel inadequate, in a logical way, of course.
Don’t ask how soon dinner will be ready while she is still mowing the lawn.
