The 7 loaded questions that can blow up your marriage: TRACEY COX

TRACEY COX: Few are prepared when their partner asks something mid-show, mid-mouthful of crisps on a Friday night like: 'What do you really think of my Mum?'

The 7 loaded questions that can blow up your marriage: TRACEY COX

TL;DR

  • Difficult relationship questions are often veiled requests for reassurance.
  • When asked about weight gain, focus on reassurance and inquire about their mood rather than commenting on their body.
  • For questions about unconditional love, name specific traits you love that are independent of circumstances.
  • When discussing a partner's family, criticize behavior, not character, and clarify if they want your honest opinion or your support.
  • To the question 'Do you think my best friend is hot?', shift focus to their friendship or give a non-committal answer.
  • Address 'Why don't we have sex more often?' as a joint problem and open a dialogue about frequency and preferences.
  • For 'Do you ever get bored of me?', start a conversation about relationship dynamics and shared activities.
  • The ultimate response to 'If I died, how long would you wait before dating again?' should be 'I can't imagine wanting anyone else.'
