Shine via Yahoo ^ | Aug 1, 2011 | by Woman's Day

One of the best parts about marriage is being so comfortable with your hubby that you can say just about anything to him. But if you don’t watch your mouth, sometimes the ugly truth comes out in hurtful—not helpful––ways. Though you may have legitimate concerns to express or issues to bring up, doing so in a harsh manner can be damaging in the long term, to both your husband’s feelings and your relationship. According to Judy Ford, psychotherapist and author of Every Day Love, “Speaking kindly is a skill that couples have to learn. Everyone feels battered by life and the outside world. You shouldn’t feel that way at home.” Here, nine statements that you should never utter to your significant other––and the words that you should try instead.

Wife stands naked in front of the mirror.....

‘I look old, fat and ugly, pay me a compliment.’

Husband replies ‘Your eyesight is very good.’

“This applies to both partners in a marriage and if exercised more often than not would minimize the great amount of divorces me thinks.”

Thanks for pointing out that it’s a two-way street! The article was written as if husbands never say denigrating or mean things to their wives. Oy!

“do these pants make my butt look fat”

Of course not. Your butt makes those pants look fat.

‘I look old, fat and ugly, pay me a compliment.’

Reminds me of the guy who felt he needed to spice up his marriage, so he went to Victoria's Secret and bought his wife a very expensive negligee. He had it giftboxed, and after purchasing a romantic card, left it on the bed next to his wife's pillow.

Later that evening while he was watching TV, his wife traipsed down the stairs clad in her new translucent garment. With a throaty, whisper she called out, "What do you think?"

The guy looked up from his TV, cleared his throat and said, "Well, I think for what I paid for that, they should have at least ironed it!"

*** All she needs to do is tell him that sex is painful because his unit is too big. He’ll be too busy strutting around to worry about sex.***

Or

“Your not enjoying it because of my other boyfriend. HE’S BIG!”

***My wife learned about sex from a manual. He was the gardener. ***

My ex got on a bus and the driver popped the clutch. She fell down and before she could get up she made $500.00.

You are exactly right. This is a manipulative word game. If she wants help, she needs to ask for it and if I can’t do it right then, she can choose to do it herself or wait until I can help. Marriage works best if you are straight forward and don’t play these types of games.

In the first year of my marriage (Nov. will be 19 yrs) I used to say, “Honey, I’m sorry you got angry at me.” I said it with all innocence not fully understanding that I was supposed to be sorry for what I did rather than for her reaction to what I did. I’ve learned the difference...the hard way.
