Relationships aren’t always unicorns and rainbows. Sometimes, it takes real effort to make things work in the right direction for both partners. And most of the time, it’s not about the materialistic part of a relationship, the gifts and the expensive holidays, but the daily interaction between the two of you.
What you say and how you say it might not seem like that big of a deal but some simple words might make your significant other feel rejected, neglected, or not heard. According to therapists, the negative and oftentimes toxic phrases you use can create a huge rift in your relationship.
Here’s what you should stop saying to your partner and how to rephrase and soften what you have to say to make your relationship work in the long term.

Sheesh! How to deal with people who have no control over their emotions?? Get them out of your life! How distasteful to deal with petty women who are “all about words” and ignore actions.
Sigh—Another one of your distorted diatribes about small minded females and their low testosterone “men”! REAL men will just “LAY DOWN THE LAW” about bitchy pettiness and demand calm discussions wrought with actual thought processes rather than deal with raw impulsive emotions.
MEN—Think with your big heads and avoid these toxic girls/women at all costs!!
Another bit of free advice to chew on from your favorite sage—Feral Tomm.
You are WELCOME!
Petty toxicity isn’t just just a women’s thing. I’ve been married to q cnn man for 28 years & he has said every single one of these “get out of an argument” phrases. It works for me because I HATE TO ARGUE! He does it for sport & he can’t stand it when I walk away, stand there & look at him with no expression, agree with everything he says or, my favorite, Go outside to my front porch so the neighbors can hear him! Lol
Shuts him down 99% of the time.
Feb. 28th will be our 29th anniversary. Might as well see how London it takes for him to actually divorce me! 🕊
