“Why do you bother with so much make-up”
You’re pushing it here, because you’re telling her that her making up doesn’t add any much value to how she looks; meaning that she’s wasting her time; meaning she’s stupid……i’m sure you catch the drift. Instead couch your reservation with her make-up in statements like, “you don’t need make-up because you’re so beautiful”.
“–, my ex, used to…”
Please don’t talk about what your ex did that you liked or compare your wife or girlfriend to her, especially where it concerns cooking or bedroom skills. You’re looking for major trouble.
“You won’t understand”
She’ll wonder why didn’t just come out to say she’s stupid or worthless. You may have good reasons but don’t say like that or don’t say it all. She will be offended.
If you love her, you have to watch what you say and how you say it. You wouldn’t want a dark cloud of moodiness replacing her loving attention because of something you said, would you?
