Watch Your Mouth! Things You Should Never Say To Your Man

6. You Always…You Never…

Speaking in absolutes in a negative way will always put a person on the defensive. No one wants to feel like they never do anything right or that they’re always wrong. Those phrases, no matter how nice you say them, always sound like an attack – unless you’re saying “You always take out the trash” or “You never make me feel bad.” But if you’re using those phrases in a negative way such as “You always make me feel bad” or “You never take out the trash,” all he’s going to do is leave, or attack you back – in which nothing gets accomplished. Instead of using blanket statements like these, try saying something positive first before you bring up the issue…such as “Babe, you’re usually so helpful, and I appreciate that. Would you take out the trash for me sweetie?” You catch more flies with honey, not a grimey mouth.
