RE: Things you should never say to your partner | I am warning you
Any relationship must be built on trust.
Another Sentence you shouldn't say to your partner.
‘‘I wish things were how they used to be.’’
Ahh come on, we've all said it. When you're going through a rough patch or a bit of a tricky time, it's hard not to reminisce about the honeymoon period where you were banging 24/7 and having just one giant laugh together. "We cannot relive or recreate the past, so this type of statement is NEVER helpful. It also creates a sense of longing, yearning and wishful thinking, which devalues the positive aspects of the current relationship, and corrupts and restricts it’s future growth," David says.
Say this instead: "With all our wonderful times and fantastic history, we can create a better future for ourselves" or "Let’s work together and use all the lessons we have learnt, so we never make those same mistakes again."
