Things A Wife Should Never Say To Her Husband
Two weeks ago I've made a post about Things A Husband Should Never Say To His Wife, and this time I will make a post regarding the Things A Wife Should Never Say to Her Husband.
Communication is one of the most important thing a husband and wife should never forget even if they're miles away form each other. A simple text message, email, or short phone call should always be made to get connected and be updated about each others whereabouts. For those couples who see each other every single day, speaking kindly to your partner at all times is necessary. Be very careful with every word you say and how you say it since communication is a little bit tricky. Of course we want to be communicated by our loved ones in a style we understand and we won't be misinterpreted. If what we are saying to our partner is said and delivered in a kind and loving way, it will surely be a lot different than we saying it in anger or retribution.
Now, to avoid problems between you and your partner, as a wife here are the things you should never tell your husband.
1. "What is wrong with you?" / "What were you thinking?" / "That's all you did?" / "You are one pathetic guy!"
Saying any of these statements to your husband in case he have done something wrong is a big insult on his part. It's like you are attacking his ego. If you feel bad that he had done something the way you don't like instead of saying those words to him, why not tell him in a good way that somehow he too will admit to himself that he indeed made something not right, should apologize, and make way to do it correctly the next time. As a wife you should be there for your husband to support him in everything he does especially those he's not really good at.
2. "You are just like your father."
This is a big No-No! Of course, no man would like to be ever compared to his father most especially if it is something on the negative side. Telling your husband those words is a way of belittling him.
3. "My mother and father always warned me you'd do this and that!"
It's generally a bad idea to include any family member in your argument with your husband. If you don't agree to whatever your partner is thinking of, you can always voice out whatever you have to say but do it in a polite way that he would feel that you are on his side to support to any decision he would make in the end. Give him enough time to decide on things you know he can handle and if not, hold your tongue and think of ways you can help him instead of making things worst between the two of you and end up hurting each others feelings.
4. "Do you think you're flattering wearing that?"
If you don't want to hear from your husband that you're fat, your husband also doesn't want to hear it from you. If you think he has gained so much weight as compared before, do not insult him especially the way he look and the way he dress up. So as not to hurt his feelings, you can always make an approach that would be in a form of pleasant and helpful suggestions.
5. "Just leave those housework and I'll do it myself!"
Do not underestimate your husband's capability when it comes to household chores. If he is willing to help you cook in the kitchen, wash the dishes, wash your clothes, sweep the floor, and anything else, let him do it. This way he would feel he is not only a good provider but can also do more than working in the office. If he's doing a task and somethings bothering you about it, do not rush to him and tell him regarding it. You should think first before any word comes out of your mouth. In case he needs your help, he would probably call you for assistance. Remember that your husband is already an adult and no longer a kid who needs to be instructed every step of the way.
6. "Are your friends joining us again?"
Your husband have long time friends before you two met each other so there's nothing wrong if he invites his friends over and hang out with them with you around. There is no rule at all that husbands and wives are required to adore each others friends and vice versa. If you don't like his set of friends, you can always tell him but do not expect he wouldn't be friends with them anymore the fact you do not like them. Maybe what you're partner will do is keep you and his friends from seeing often so as to avoid conflict. However, don't feel sad if he continues to see his peers because he also needs to enjoy his friend's company from time to time the way you spend quality bonding time with your girlfriends. It wouldn't mean he loves you less.
7. "Please watch the children and remember all the do's and don'ts."
Yes there will be several times that you'd have to leave your kids with your husband but do not underestimate your partner. He is the father of your children, he's an adult, and he knows exactly what is right and wrong. Let your husband do his job as a father and part of it is helping you raise and take good care of your sons and daughters. Give him the chance to become hands-on and involved and do not disregard his efforts or else he will emotionally disconnect with you and your kids. Give full trust to your partner that he knows how to handle your kids even if you are away. In case you will be gone for a long time, you can remind him of the most important things he shouldn't forget like the phone number of the pediatrician, how many drops or teaspoons of medicines and vitamins each of your kids should take, and others.
So there you go. I just hope you'll learn a lot from this post. Give some time reflecting on each item and evaluate yourself about how you deal with these things. Always bear in mind that in order to avoid conflict with your partner, you should at all times act like an adult, be respectful so as to be respected, be smart enough, and love your partner unconditionally.
