Happy in your relationship? Then these sentences probably don’t come out of your mouth so often…
The key to a happy partnership is communication: on the one hand, an appropriate tone promotes harmony between those involved, on the other hand, couples communicate with each other in a certain way when they are happy in their relationship. Either way: You will certainly not hear the following sentences so quickly in a healthy partnership.
9 phrases happy couples never say
1. “Forget it – my problem.”
Happy couples support each other and are each other’s most important caregivers. That’s why they share their problems with their sweetheart instead of keeping them to themselves. A good prerequisite for staying happy: Because in a partnership, sooner or later every “my problem” will eventually become “our” …
2. “You don’t understand that.”
Of course, even in a healthy relationship there are things that one of them doesn’t understand or sees differently than the other – after all, two different people with individual minds and perspectives are involved. Despite this, happy couples always take the time to share and explain, and make an effort to understand each other.
3. “You always have to…”
Generalizations like “always” or “never” are unfair, but happy couples treat each other fairly. Generalizing accusations are therefore rare in a healthy partnership.
4. “Can’t you just leave me alone for once?”
Of course, happy couples also need some rest and time for themselves. But this is never a reason for argument or aggression. Rather, the balance of closeness and distance, togetherness and me-time, occurs in most harmonious partnerships in a very natural way without having to be discussed at length.
5. “That’s just like you again!”
Happy couples don’t pigeonhole or label their sweetheart, but give them space to develop. In this way, they rediscover their favorite person over and over again and assess their behavior based on the situation rather than on a typical basis.
6. “Maybe we both need a break.”
A break in a relationship can definitely make sense and save partnerships – but if a couple is already happy, there is usually no need for a break. In this respect, the desire for a break is almost always an expression that something is wrong in the relationship.
7. “Why are you never on my side?”
Even if it’s just a subjective perception and maybe not true at all: happy couples feel supported by her sweetheart – and not left in the lurch. If only one of them feels like the other is against them, the relationship of trust is at least scratched.
8. “You’re exaggerating again.”
Admittedly, many people tend to exaggerate. But in a healthy relationship, the partner should be the person who understands this and takes their sweetheart seriously despite dramatization and reinsteigern. It will certainly be her goal to convey to her favorite person that the world is really not going to end and that everything is only three quarters as bad at most. But she is respectful and careful, not mocking and contemptuous.
9. “If you don’t… then that’s it.”
There are no threats and ultimatums in a happy relationship. True love is unconditional and makes no demands.
