10 Things You Should Never Say To Your Boyfriend


We all like to pride ourselves on having an honest and truthful relationship with no secrets or lies.

But some things really are just best left in the closet. It’s not lying.
 It’s not even twisting the truth, technically. It’s just being careful.

Below is a list of ten vital things that you should NEVER say to your boyfriend…. 
(If you want your relationship to work that is!)

1. “No, you were good. It’s just that….”

Men love believing that no other man can compare to them in the bedroom.
 If your man does need a bit of guidance in the right direction (possibly quite literally),
 find a less heart-breaking way of phrasing this.Something along the lines of
 “You know what’s nice?...” or “You know what might be an idea?
” may be a better way of getting exactly what you want from your man in the bedroom
 and yet not destroying his ego completely!

2. “I like your mum. But…”

Even if your boyfriend moans about his mum non-stop, don’t. He can. You can’t. 
Try to work on your relationship with her if possible, but if that’s not an option,
 just grin and bear it. It may be hard, but at the end of the day, 
you’re going out with her son, not her, so who really cares?
 Slagging her off to your man will only ruin your relationship, 
meaning (obviously) no boyfriend and that she wins, and we don’t want that now do we? 
Talk to your friends in confidence instead. It’s a high possibility that they know exactly
 what you mean too!

3. “When we’re married/old/have kids….”
Until you’re both seriously thinking about these things, don’t bring them up, ever.
 We all dream of being happily married with two kids, a big house and a dog,
 but bringing these things up too early on in the relationship will only scare your man away, 
meaning none of the above, anytime soon. 
Enjoy the relationship for what it is then eventually these subjects will come up naturally,
 when the time is right.

4. “There’s this great guy at work…..”

There may well be a great guy at work. 
Or at university, or at your fitness class or that you met at a party on Saturday night. 
However, in most cases your boyfriend doesn’t need to know this.
 Don’t not talk about other people and so on,
 but if you’re going to phrase it in a way that makes your man feel inadequate, 
refrain. If this guy is that fantastic, surely you want to be with him, not your boyfriend, anyway?

5. “Do you think she’s hot?”

This is always a lose-lose situation. If your boyfriend says yes, you’ll want to kill him. 
Men will (most often) say no thinking that that is what you want to hear,
but then you’ll wonder why he doesn’t think she’s hot 
(you must have thought she was to ask the question in the first place) 
and then you’ll question your man’s bad taste in women, leading you to wonder:
 “Well, if he’s got bad taste, what am I then?” Never a good idea.

6. “You’ve put a bit of weight on since we’ve been together.”

No matter what anyone says, men do care about these things too ladies. 
Imagine how you’d feel if your boyfriend said this to you. Not impressed, I imagine. 
If it is true that your man has put on a few pounds since you’ve been together,
 try suggesting joining the gym or taking up a more active hobby together. 
This way, you get to spend more time with your man and improve your fitness –
 A double winner!

7. “Your friends are a bit annoying though, aren’t they?”

The last thing you want to do is to put down his friends.
 Imagine how you’d feel if he started slagging off your friends. 
A little bit like slapping him I imagine. It’s a bit like the boyfriend’s evil mother situation.
 Even if your boyfriend’s friends are a bit geeky/boring/rude/incredibly stupid,
 just deal with it. Again, try to get on with them, but if that’s just not do-able,
 at the end of the day, who cares? You’ve got your friends and he’s got his. 
Your relationship with your boyfriend is totally separate from that that he has with his friends.

8. “I’ll try anything once!”

Unless this is very true girls, don’t say it. You’ll only get his hopes up then let him down. 
And that’s just cruel isn’t it? It’s like him saying: “Yeah, I love shopping. 
Let’s go every Saturday!” when we all know that in actual fact, 
he’s lying and will only take all the fun out of the weekly Saturday daytime shopping trip. 
Enjoy your sex life and have as much fun, as you both want,
 whilst respecting each other’s boundaries. If you are actually a little bit kinky though, 
go for it!

9. “Your mate/dad/brother/hamster is really fit……”

Even if they are, don’t bother. He’ll only get paranoid. Just admire from afar ladies.
 A bit of eye candy on nights out/at family parties is never going to be a problem really is it?
 No one needs to know!

And for the biggy……..


10. “Aww… My ex……”
Whether you’re referring to your ex in a good or bad way, this is never the smartest of ideas. 
Your man will just wonder why you felt the need to bring your ex up and
 why you’re still thinking about him. If you must, think it in your head.
 Focus on your current relationship. Not the ghosts of the past. 
That way, eventually, you won’t even want to bring up your ex. 
It’ll be all about you and your current other half, and no one else – The way it should be.

Like I said, it’s not lying ladies. It’s just being careful and respecting your man and his feelings. 
Treat others as you wish to be treated, as they say.

Follow these ten rules, and you’ll soon be well on your way to the blissful, 
make-other-people-jealous relationship that we all deserve!
