5 things you shouldn't say during a fight: It can ruin the relationship


Bringing up past events can rekindle unnecessary emotions for both you and your partner. Instead of constantly implying your partner is at fault, focus on resolving the issue that's causing the problem in the moment. Before making such a statement about your partner, ask yourself if you truly believe it. Remember, the purpose of an argument is to resolve a problem, not to leave your partner behind by saying hurtful things.

Having the attitude that you can never be wrong is detrimental to both you and your partner. Instead of trying to prove your partner wrong, consider what you'll gain by proving that your judgment is better than theirs. Instead of trying to belittle your partner, see if you can learn something from the situation. Being willing to admit your mistakes is a sign of a healthy relationship.

Saying everything's fine or that you're fine to end an argument will only lead to problems down the road. Trying to suppress a problem doesn't make it go away, but it does postpone it until a later discussion.
If you feel like you can't continue talking about the same topic, it's best to talk to your partner when you're both calm.

If your partner does something you warned them about, fighting isn't the time to prove you know better. It's tempting to say, "I told you so," but that might just fuel the fight.
Instead, try to think of better ways to help your partner avoid repeating avoidable mistakes. It's important to remember that everyone makes errors of judgment sometimes.
