20 Things You NEVER Want To Hear Your Partner Say

Do you ever say these things?

20 Things You NEVER Want To Hear Your Partner Say

Naturally, a lot of these depend on the context of why they're said and what your relationship is like.

"I think we should take a break."

What, are things not working out?

"You're the only person I have in my life who supports me."

While everyone goes through hard times and moments when they feel alone, a good percentage of the time they're just trying to make you feel bad or piteous of them. More times than not, unintentionally or not, this is a rather manipulative thing to say.

"You're my only friend."

Refer to above.

"We need to talk."

It's the ambiguity of it and the suspense it creates that makes this one awful.

"You should make more of an attempt to show me that you love me."

Ah, nothing like a big middle finger to whatever attempts you've been trying to make to show you care, especially when they neglect to put in any affectionate attempt of their own!

"No, it's whatever."

Evidently not!

"You're no help."

No, but this statement is super helpful. (Also, I've only ever heard people say this after they heard something they didn't like, not something that was truly unhelpful.)

"I think we should break up."

Plain and simple, it just hurts, regardless of if you're expecting it or not.

"So...my Ex just called me."

Whether you're a jealous person or not, there's just something ominous about this.

"My friends can't stand you."

That's reassuring.

"What can't you just do this one thing for me?"

It's passive aggressive and somewhat manipulative. You shouldn't feel swindled into doing something if you're uncomfortable with it.

"Come on we've been dating for # months/years now!"

No means no, whether it is sexual or not. It's never okay for people to disrespect your choice.

"I want to marry you! / We should get married!"

Contextually, this is really sweet, but if it's your second month of dating it's a major yikes and a red flag that you're with someone who moves very fast.

"You're always so busy with work/school! You never spend time with me."

No one should ever berate you for putting work or school before them. As unromantic as it is to say, the money you earn from work and the education you earn from school are more-or-less permanent or can be, whereas relationships are volatile and have no guarantee to last.

"If you loved me you'd..."

Manipulative. Period.

"I'm fine."

Even if they are fine, there always feels like there's a lot more hidden away behind these words.

"How would you feel if we added another person to our relationship?"

This sort of thing rarely works out for people, regardless of if they're into that sort of arrangement or not.

"No, you can't meet my family / My family can't know about us!"

The same applies if they say this in regards to their friends. It's one thing if they want to hold off for a while and get to know you more, but if it is just an impossibility for them, then you might want to continue on with a little suspicion.

"You're my one true love!"

Again, contextually, incredibly charming, but after you're second date this might be a clue to skip out on a third.

"I've been cheating on you./ Have you been cheating on me?"

It makes your heart pang to be told the truth or to be accused. It's one of the worst things someone can do to you in a relationship.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
