6 Things Your Wife Says to You that She Might Not Actually Mean

 

6. “Do whatever YOU want to do.”

I can’t help but laugh about this one.  It’s honestly a big joke between Dave and I, because I said it so much in our first years of marriage.  Our conversation would usually start with Dave asking for my ideas on what we could do or where we could go.  Then, I would inadvertently play this sort of “guess what I want to do” game with him that he certainly couldn’t win…bless his heart.  I know it frustrated him to no end, but he would politely take a stab at what I was thinking.  In my mind, I was just being polite, when, Dave would have much preferred for me to just tell him what I wanted to do instead of making him think it was something he wanted to do.  Crazy…I know.  Oh, the things we learn after many years of marriage.  Let’s just say, I am much more forthcoming with my preferences these days, and Dave appreciates it.

What else would you add to the list?  Be honest.  Once we recognize these loaded statements, we will become much better communicators in our marriages, and that will only make our relationships stronger.
