“I Shouldn’t Have Said That …” 9 Heartbreaking Phrases

9. “Grow up and start taking better care of me.”


“If I were a man, I really wouldn’t want to hear that.” Men can be turned off in an instant if their partner cares only about her own side of the relationship. The drive to make her happy comes from within: It’s not something that you should be telling him to feel.

It’s completely natural to get worked up when you’re in an argument, but try to step back and think, “If I say this, what will he think?” This can avoid creating deep cuts that will eventually lead to breaking up. It could be said that an essential trait of any happy couple is that each always tries to consider their partner’s feelings.
