Are There Still Things in a Relationship That You Aren't Supposed to Say?

 

Absolutely! I think that this goes along the lines of the phrase, fight fair! Often times when couples get into arguments, they find the meanest things to say to one another. Some of those things cant be taken back once they are said. Telling your  partner that you don't like their mother, or that they don't know how to please their mate in bed are just some of the DON'Ts in relationship fights.

 

Having an open line of communication when in a relationship, is very important. However, over time, you realize that there are things that your partner just doesn't want to hear and will no longer say. My husband has learned not to critisize the lack  of housework that I  manage to get done, since I own a business and work full time. I have learned to do the same, since he does a lot of the housework and works full time. It is just a fight that no longer needs to happen. Money is another subject that isn't the best to talk about unless absolutely necessary. I don't critisize  him for what he buys and he does not ask me. It saves a lot of headaches!

What Are the Break-Up Rules?

 

Over the years, I have been subjected to and initiated many break-ups. Some of them were not even mine. I am reminded of a drunken night in which I assisted a pseudo-friend to break up with a guy that she was pseudo-dating. By this I mean that I had never met the girl until earlier that night, and that she was "dating" a guy who was already married...but she was paying for his cell phone anyway. A friend of mine had known this girl for quite some time, but had just found out about this pseudo-boyfriend. She, the girl, and I had quite a few drinks before going to a pool hall one night.

 

In fact, this girl got so drunk that she allowed me to call this so-called BF and break up with him for her. I even demanded that he return the phone and pay for the bill himself. He, of course, called back several times during that night, and everytime, I picked up the phone and broke up with him for her and demanded the phone and payment of the bill. I am sure that the next morning when she woke up and her voicemail was flooded with voicemails from her so-called BF, she regretted the night entirely.

 

What are the break up rules? I don't really think that there are any. There is common courtesy, of course. But, when it comes to break-ups, you are either cruel or super sweet.

 

What are your thoughts on break-up rules? What was the craziest break-up that you had?
