I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: communication can be hard sometimes, especially when you’re in a relationship. It can be difficult to figure out exactly how to talk to your boyfriend all the time, even more so when you get super comfortable with him and feel like you can say anything. News flash: you can’t. There are some things you should never say to your boyfriend. Like, ever.
In an effort to stop a potential fight or, worse, a potential breakup, I’ve put together a list of 10 things not to say to your boyfriend. I mean, unless you want him to get super annoyed with you. Then you can say these things. But if you’re trying to have a happy relationship, avoid these 10 statements altogether. Trust me, girl.
“If you loved me, you would know.”

Forcing him to prove his love for you by testing him on what your favorite color is? Bad idea. Don’t play games like this with a dude you’re dating.
“I’m fine.”

You’re not fine. We all know you’re not fine. Like I said – don’t play games. If something is bothering you, talk about it instead of waiting for him to figure out because, news flash, he probably won’t.
“Your penis is small anyway.”

I don’t care if you’re joking, I don’t care if you two are fighting – unless you want to be responsible for making your BF completely self-conscious, don’t say this. How would you like it if he said “You’re fat, whatever.” Right, that’s what I thought.
“Do you think that girl is pretty?”

If you don’t really want to know the truth, then YOU ARE SETTING HIM UP FOR FAILURE. This is just cruel and a little manipulative. And it will confuse the heck out of your boyfriend.
“What’s wrong? Are you sure? Tell me what’s wrong.”

You can ask him what’s wrong once – but don’t bug him until you think he’ll cave. Dudes like space when they’re bummed out or angry. When he wants to talk, he’ll talk. But he’ll never talk if you continue to nag, I promise.
“I hate your friends.”

There’s being honest and then there’s just being mean. And insensitive. Don’t rip on his boys unless you have a legit reason, kay ladies?
“When we’re married…”
Source: Tumblr.com
If you guys have been dating for, like, four months and talk about the future hasn’t really happened, just… don’t. He’ll most likely run away scared no matter how much he digs you.
“My ex used to do the same thing!”

Oh, cool. We all love being compared to the person who you’re no longer with for various reasons. Super fun.
“Do I look fat in this?”
Source: Tumblr.com
Might be a guy’s least favorite question in the history of questions. Girl, you don’t look fat. Cut it out.
“Who just texted you?”
Source: Tumblr.com
He’s allowed to get text messages without you looking over his shoulder to see who they’re from. Sorry, had to say it.
Do you ever or have you ever said these things to your boyfriend? Do you agree or disagree with these? What did I miss? Tell me in the comments!

Some of these make sense…Some REALLY don’t. Lets take a look at the “I’m Fine” and “What’s wrong? Are you sure? Tell me what’s wrong.” So it’s wrong for a girl to say “I’m fine” when she may just not want to talk about it now, but for a guy its perfectly okay?
I mean you say “You can ask him what’s wrong once – but don’t bug him until you think he’ll cave. Dudes like space when they’re bummed out or angry. When he wants to talk, he’ll talk. But he’ll never talk if you continue to nag, I promise.”
So are girls not allowed to like space “when they’re bummed out or angry”? Are we not allowed to not want to talk until we WANT to talk.
Lets not be sexist here.
I’m a girl who when I get mad or upset, I need a couple minutes to figure out what I may want to say or do. My boyfriend may ask me whats wrong and I’ll say “I’m fine.” Two minutes later though I may want to talk about it and explain why I seem/seemed so mad or upset.
My boyfriend will do the exact same thing. He will tell me he “Is Fine” but a couple minutes later he’ll tell me what was wrong.
Now, you shouldn’t (nor should he) keep asking when its obvious you don’t want to talk. But don’t tell a girl she can’t ask whats wrong or say “I’m fine” when he may do the same thing.
And the “Who texted you?” thing if your boyfriend doesn’t care, then ask away. If it pisses him off, talk to him about why it upsets him. Explain to him why you are curious. Talk it out. Don’t just blow it off, if it upsets you figure it out don’t ignore it.
hey,
yes i totally agree every single on of those things.. because i have said them early in our relationship n noticed how it totally pissed him off.. but over the period of time i started being more sensitive and understanding.. and so did he.. he now understands what we girls really mean and feel when we say such things.. totally love him for that..
I’ve almost told my boyfriend “My ex used to do the same thing!” a few times.. Thank God that I didn’t. Thanks for those warnings. *** Memorized***
I can’t believe no one has commented; at least to mention how hard they laughed at the flash videos you supplied in the article.
What I can’t understand is: wby do people do this to each other? I feel heavily self concious if I even think rude thoughts. It amazes me that people actually say them, or purposely try to evoke a fight or somerging (I’m stuck at the useless comment “is she prettier than me?”). I don’t have a clue why anyone would date if this is the normal crowd.
