Avoiding arguments: Some arguments just aren't worth having, as you're never going to win. So never pick a fight when it concerns the following areas: Clothes. It's your girlfriend's right to tell you how to dress, but on no account should you make unsolicited comments or criticisms about her outfits. Avoid all negative clothing references, even if she asks your opinion. Cooking .If he wants to be the Picasso of the pots and pans, let him. Never criticise his cooking style, complain about the mess, or refuse to eat it. Better to risk a dodgy stomach then never be cooked for, or spoken to, again. Exes. Criticising previous relationships will only make your partner defensive. As for your own past relationships, avoid making any kind of comparisons. This is almost as dangerous as shouting out the wrong name. The War of the Worlds: As everyone knows, Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus. It's important to accept these differences to avoid unnecessary rows. So, don't try and be Mr. Fix-it: When she's had a hard day at work and wants to get it off her chest, you may try and help by suggesting some solutions to her problems. |
