15 Things husbands should never say to their wives
Whether you've made the mistake of uttering any of these regrettable sentences to your wife, or you're finding new ways to walk on eggshells, you're going to want to check out our list.
Read up on how to keep your wife happy, and your head on your shoulders, guys!

"You're not that old"
Women are pretty sensitive when it comes to aging and you don't need to perpetuate any of their insecurities!

"It's up to you..."
When it comes to the smaller things in life, make a decision! Wives don't want to pick a restaurant...that's your job husbands!

Anything to do with your ex-girlfriend
Comparing your wife to an ex is a surefire way to spark a fight, jealousy, insecurities, or some questions that you don't want to answer.

"Relax", "Chill out", or "Calm down"
By doing this, you're invalidating her feelings. Lend a listening ear instead and let her cool off that way.

"Are you on your period or something?"
If your wife is mad at you or has an attitude, it's probably for a good reason. Try asking her what's wrong and don't just assume that hormones are the root cause.

"I can't stand your family"
Maybe you should just keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself and try to resolve the issue any way you can.

"You're starting to remind me of your mother"
No matter the context, there's a good chance she'll take this in an offensive manner. It's best to avoid this comparison at all costs, husbands!

"Are you really gonna eat all of that?"
Don't make her feel insecure! She's earned the right to eat as much as she wants, now that you're married. Let her be comfortable with you, and don't call her out for it!

"Stop being so sensitive"
Don't be rude and try to ignore her feelings by saying this. In the end, it could hurt her feelings.

"That's what you're gonna wear?"
Women work very hard to pick out an outfit, and they can certainly do without your criticism and rude comments.

"That's not how my mom does it"
Your mom may have handled things differently, but your wife is NOT your mom. Don't compare apples and oranges, husbands.

"Yes, [other woman] is attractive"
Your wife wasn't born yesterday, and she knows that you probably find other women attractive, but she needs to know that she's the apple of your eye at all times.
If she asks if you find someone else pretty...just say no.

"Yes, that dress does make you look fat"
This is guaranteed to spark insecurities in your wife, and you should always just respond with a quick (and thoughtful) "no".

"Stop nagging me"
If she's "nagging" you, there's probably a good reason for that as well. Maybe you should try to please her instead of insisting she's out of line, or being annoying.

"I make more than you"
Even if it is true, rude and offensive comments like this have no place in a happy marriage!
