5. What not to say to your significant other
If you’ve read any of our articles before, you might know what sorts of things are better to keep only for yourself and not tell your spouse. One of them is saying “I don’t believe you”, especially when trust is one of the most important qualities in a long-term and healthy relationship.
Words like these can be hard to hear and they don’t sound very well but are rather accusatory. Moreover, they tend to backfire and create even more of a fight. Another thing that people do and make the spark in their relationship fade away is saying things such as “you’re overreacting” or “don’t be such a baby”.
These will only make the partner feel bad and underappreciated, so it’s always a good option to take a deep breath and think twice before you start saying something you might regret later.
