DirectBlinds.co.uk has found that couples come home to some strange sights and sounds- we take a look at the worst things couples can say to each other as they set foot through the door- and why!
Relationships on Female First
'Make your own tea'- Which means you are going out and haven't told them or making it known that they shouldn't assume you will cook for him just because you're a woman.
'I've lost my job'- We all have bad days but this takes the biscuit and maybe with news like this you should ease your partner into it rather than blurting it out.
'I'm fine'- Roughly translated- you are not fine and still mad about something from last night or the night before and just can't let the damn thing go.
'What are we doing tonight?'- The pressure of having to think only minutes after entering the door is too much for most couples. Wind down time is needed before any big decisions can be made.
'I've had a really bad day'- You are reluctant to ask why- it could be anything from illness to disciplinary action and that moment in between the status of their day and their explanation feels like a lifetime.
'I've got a bone to pick with you'- What have you done? Are they joking? Is it argument worthy? A deal breaker? Can it be fixed with sex? Argh!
'What are we doing on….?'- This is a tense moment- are they asking because they want to spend time with their mates? Do they want you to come with them? If you say 'nothing' does that mean you will have to go and make nice? Or have a night to yourself? The best response is always 'why?'
'I have a confession'- OK so this could range from 'I forgot to buy milk' to 'I've been unfaithful'. The suspense nearly kills you.
'What should we watch tonight?'- But you never actually get around to watching anything and end up flicking through Netflix for hours before going to bed. You dread your other half asking this question.
'I've been thinking'- This usually results in a wall getting knocked down somewhere in the house or some drastic changes to décor. Clearly your viewing choices are not stimulating enough and your partner spends their time doing a mental 'what's next?' for you home.
