Think First, Speak Later

I recently had lunch with a dear friend of mine and a couple of her friends, we got onto the subject of things Men just shouldn't say to women no matter what the situation. This conversation stemmed from one of the ladies telling us that the night before her Husband had very stupidly asked her during an argument if she was on her period................................................................................................We all sat opened mouthed at his bravery as she retold how she had glared at him then burst into tears. Come on Men.........Its not that hard is it.......................................The golden rule is................................If your not sure don't ask, go out buy chocolate, wine and give her a cuddle.

Here is a list of 10 things you should never say to a woman.........On or off her period.

1. "Are you wearing that?" - This will result in an astonished look followed by 2 hours of changing outfits whilst screaming that she has nothing to wear. The right thing to say is "You look gorgeous".

2. "God, you sound like your Mother" - Response will consist of "The Look",

3. "So, what exactly have you done all day?" - REALLY!!! Are you even noticing the neat and tidy house with the pile of freshly done ironing hanging on a chair and the kids homework completed.......Never mind the fact she is drinking Gin straight from the bottle.

4. "For Gods sake chill out" - Never a good one, in my experience I find the person who says "Chill out" is probably the reason you are stressed in the first place.

5."I don't have any clean socks" -  That's because you roll them into little balls and stuff them down the sides of the chair. If you would like them washed please separate them and place them in the wash basket..............I repeat "IN" the wash basket not "ON TOP OF"

6. "Is it that time of the month?" - There is no answer for this one only that Bravery has taken over.

7. "I was so busy I didn't even get time to go for a swim and a sauna at lunchtime". - Boo Hoo.....She probably hasn't even had time to have a wee today.

8. "Crikey, are you going to eat all that?" - Not wanting to make a scene in a restaurant she will wait until you are in the car then.........I would duck if I was you.

9. "Don't worry, I love all your wobbly bits". - Our answer will be "When you look like Hugh Jackman, I will work on looking like a Victoria's Secret model.

10. "I'll drive......I'd like to get there in one piece." - Your journey is likely to be fraught and peppered with extreme back seat driving.

Take note fellas or face certain limitations...............

Next week Mr DG will be doing a guest post on 10 Things You Never Say To a Man.......................Its only fair I suppose.

Lots of Love
Me

  9. This is great. I would add to the list "What's for dinner?" as if you don't walk into the house to a welcoming smell of something identifiable then that means it has been a very bad day and it is takeaway or a frozen meal and you can blooming well get it yourself! Thanks for making me chuckle x

  10. Ha ha ha well got to admit my hubby is guilty of 2, 3 and 9! He says I sound like his mother to make fun of me (not in a horrible way!) He often says what have you done all day, I'd like to see him clean and then watch the twins mess it up, bake and look after twins, he also says he love my wobbly bits which I know the twins kindly caused but he only says it to make me feel better! I did chuckle as I read this xx
