1. Family Ties – It’s best not tell you boyfriend about what you really think about his parents. Even if his mom is rubbing you off the wrong way, keep you mouth shut. Do you best not to say anything negative to your boyfriend about his family as this will cause stress and make him choose sides. You do know blood is thicker than water.
2. Where You Spend Your Money – If you and your boyfriend don’t share funds then it’s best not to tell him what you buy. Many guys feel that all the things women buy like hair products, clothes and makeup is a waste. Instead allow him to compliment you on what your wearing and say thank you.
3. Past Relationships – Men are very competitive so when they ask about your past relationships, gloss over your past and just tell him he’s the best you’ve ever had. Don’t divulge how many men you’ve slept with and about “the one that got away.”
4. Any Medical Issues – Although this is a touchy subject, if women have had some medical issues in the past, you don’t have to tell your boyfriend. This information is for someone who is a keeper so wait it out.
5. What You Think About His Presents – Even though you write little notes, whisper in his ear when he dreams and email him hints of what you want for your birthday, you are bound to get something you didn’t expect from said boyfriend. Instead of ragging him, just smile and say thanks.

Learn To Listen Effectively
You may think you are listening but you may only be thinking of a comeback to make sure your point is across. Listen effectively means no interruptions, using open body language, giving your partner time to talk and repeating back what you heard him say. By doing this one thing will lessen the amount of arguments you may have.

Learn To Talk Effectively
Shouting, screaming, trying to always be right and sometimes belittling your partner are all not good communication skills. Talking effectively means not rambling on, being perceptive in how your partner is taking information and not being defensive. Know that your man will want to fix the problem fast and may not want to hear you explain the problem. Tell him it’s important for him to hear you.

Take a Breather
If you feel the argument or discussion is getting nowhere or is escalating too fast, take a 15 or 20 minute break away from each other. This will allow both your to calm down and think rationally.

Using these techniques will help your relationship become stronger. Talk it out!
