1) “No.”
This could come in many different shapes and forms, but it’s always something you think twice about saying. Depending on your role in the relationship it could be easier or harder for you to say “no” to going out to the movies this Friday…or “no” to picking him/her up from Aunty J’s house, who happens to live 40min away.
2) “I’m not in the mood for ______” <— sex/cuddling/you
It’s hard to let your significant other know that you’ve just had enough of them for the time being. You’ve been in eachothers’ faces for the past 5 days and you just want some time to yourself. Some things need to be done alone. You need to clip your toe nails, take a 40min shower, pick the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms box, or pass gas without desperately trying to conceal the sound/smell.
3) “I love you”
Enough said.
4) Any response to “i love you” besides “i love you too”
This is a tough one because we’ve all been in that situation where we have been presented with these crucial words before we were ready to cross that bridge. What do you say? Nothing good will come out besides “i love you too” but you can’t bring yourself to say it. So you fumble and try different come backs. “Aww..you’re so sweet” or “Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth” or “Me too” or my favorite “______” followed by a blank stare.
5) “I just _____” <— took a dump, belched, etc
You can substitute anything that comes out of your body that isn’t speech. It’s tough to be yourself. We all know everyone has to go #2, but it’s hard for you to be THAT open with your partner. Some thing are better just left unsaid or left to the imagination. For instance, I’ve never ever known when any of my girlfriends has gone #2…or any girl for that matter. We men have been bamboozled into thinking that it’s ok for women to regularly take 25min in the bathroom because they have to fix their hair, makeup, bra/pads, tampons, etc etc etc. But what I think is that 60% of the time, women are actually going #2. It has to be..otherwise they’re just aliens.
