Whilst not everyone is the same, there are some common topics that often cause friction within relationships. Try to steer clear of these conversation topics to start bringing harmony back into your relationship.
Never tell any woman that she has put on weight
Because of the Hollywood starlet images that appear on posters, on magazines and in the media in general, most women are fiercely fighting against extra pounds. Most women will admit to dieting, taking diet pills, working out for hours on end and more. Weight is a desperately sensitive issue for women and even if you are trying to compliment your parter, this can easily backfire. It's safer to avoid this topic if possible as any of your comments are highly likely to be misconstrued.
Pampering at the beauty parlor is a waste of money
Don’t criticise her for spending days on end and a small fortune in the beauty parlor. For women a new hairstyle or fresh manicure symbolizes a new life, and is an important way of maintaining self-confidence. If money's tight, there are a lot of specialized products you can use at home, like luxury bubble-bath, face masks, aromatherapy oils. Why not light a few candles, put on some soft music and set up your own home beauty parlor for her to enjoy?
Never compare her cooking skills with your mom's
Comments like "My mom usually adds 3 eggs in the cake mixture" are not helpful and undermine your partner's confidence or cause anger and frustration. Your mom's cooking has nothing to do with your relationship.
Never praise another woman’s looks if your partner is around
Your partner is always concerned about her body, irrespective of how perfect she may seem to you. If you point out women that your partner sees as much more attractive than they are, it causes a lot of hurt and embarrassment, even if you genuinely meant nothing spiteful whatsoever. By all means think it - don't say it!
If there's a problem, talk about it, don't say nothing!
This is opposite to the title of this article, but it's important to realise that avoiding conflict can be just as harmful as explosive arguments. If there is a problem and you avoid your partner, that can turn intoa long, lingering resentment. That's ok for one or two topics, but they soon start to mount up if you don't tackle them. All the little niggles you don't talk about can turn into a rift that will take a lot of time and effort to mend - that's assuming you haven't left it too late of course!
Wishing you happiness with your partner,
Marjorie
