1. You are so much better than all the other jerks I have dated
Although it appears as if you are paying him a nice compliment. But, the reality is that the alarm starts to go off when a man hears this. He will conclude that since you think everybody you have ever dated is a jerk, you will ultimately think he is a jerk too, which makes him unmotivated to try to build on your bond. You surely do not want him to assume that the one constant in every one of those terrible connections was you.
2. Shut Up
It is really not recommended to ever tell somebody to “shut up” primarily not to your boyfriend. Telling someone to “shut up” is a definitive indication of a deficiency of regard. Healthy relationships ought to be respectful. The combination of these two words expresses multiple messages that may do more damage to your relationship than good.
3. You ought to man up!
Besides being completely sexist, telling your loved one to do so doesn’t just diminish him as a person, it can undermine his confidence as well. Uplift and support the person you love, do not discredit him by saying such a phrase to him.
4. You have put on weight
As much as women despise hearing this phrase, men despise hearing they have gained some weight as well. Body shaming should be avoided at all costs as it works both ways. There are particular things that nobody enjoys hearing. There are more nice ways to help him and encourage him to get back into shape or take better care of himself if you think he is letting himself go.
5. Why can’t you be more like…?
Regardless of whether you believe you’re trying to help, never compare your guy with somebody else. This can really dig deep and leave a wound that you may not be able to recuperate.

6. My ex-boyfriend did the exact same thing
Comparing him to your ex-boyfriend is not going to go down well regardless of how flatteringly you mean it. Actually, it will just make him feel curious if you are done with your ex yet.
7. Wasn’t your ex-girlfriend a complete bitch?
It is best to stay away from “ex” discussions unless you are still walking around with a chip on your shoulder. Relationships must commence afresh, without the past becoming a source of conflict between a couple.
8. Why do you love me?
Making him constantly explain why he loves you can be a sign of seeking validation, which is unattractive. Well, seriously, he loves you and no he doesn’t want to list out the reasons. Individuals with strong feelings and trust don’t need validation, do they?
9. I hate your mom
Sure, he might find specific traits your family owns irritating and vice versa but when it comes to one’s family, one ought to walk carefully. Though, let’s just never go here. It is best to stay away from the subject if he loves her and if you know it’s going to disturb him. You can find a way to express your discomfort with his mom in a more reasonable way than using the word “hate”.
10. Do you think she is pretty?
It is a slippery question and one that is best to keep yourself distanced from. This question can be perceived by your partner as a trait of insecurity and as we have mentioned before, it will seem like you are seeking validation. Try to evade asking a question that is going to get your boyfriend in trouble.

Simply don’t say it! It is a really bad idea to say this phrase to your boyfriend.
