5 Things You Should Never Say to Your Spouse

Words are so powerful – they can build or destroy a relationship. Words can make a person feel happy and at the same time, they can also hurt one's feelings. This is the reason why you should be careful in everything that you say especially when it is addressed to the person you love. When you talk to your spouse, try to be more sensitive with how he or she might feel.

Below is a list of the things that you should never say to your partner according to one lawyer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin:

1. “You're pathetic.”

This is probably the worst thing that you can say to someone. Try to avoid delivering this hurtful comment to your partner. It will certainly affect his pride and make him love you less. As much as possible, be polite in letting your spouse know what you truly feel. There may be times when he has caused you trouble, but that does not mean you have the right to insult him with your words.

2. “Is that all you did?”

Bringing up this question can bring frustrations to the marriage. By blurting these words out, you are trying to confirm to your partner that whatever it is that he just did is insufficient. It is a sign that you do not recognize all his efforts in trying to please you or make the relationship work. A little appreciation of what he has done can go a long way, so make it a habit to do so.

3. “I hate you so much.”

There are times when conversations lead to a fight, especially when each partner has different views and opinions about certain matters. This is completely normal. What is wrong, is when one partner starts to insult the other person through hurtful words because of their differences. To say “I hate you” to the one you love is not a good thing to do. It will bring your partner down and it may even lead to a break up. The next time that you are upset, try to find other ways to express that to your partner.

4. “I'm sorry… but it is your fault.”

One of the secrets to a happy relationship is knowing when to say sorry. Take responsibility for the wrong things that you have done. You cannot apologize to your spouse and still put the blame on him. You may justify your actions but not to the prejudice of your spouse. Learn how to admit your mistakes, say sorry for it, and really mean it.

5. “You do not care about me.”

While your goal is only to get an assurance from your partner, uttering this statement will certainly give rise to some problems in your marriage. You have to remind yourself that not everyone is good at expressing his or her feelings. Some people are comfortable manifesting their love through actions, while others are good at showing them through words. Do not question the way your partner cares about you without really looking into all the good things that he has done for you and your relationship. Learn the type of love language your partner has.
