While you might think everyone loves a little flattery, one expert warns that some compliments may have unintended negative impacts on romantic relationships.“Compliments can be disarming. They make us feel chosen and understood in ways that other words rarely do,” the psychologist explained.
“But sometimes, the praise that feels the most flattering is also the praise that teaches us to edit ourselves.”Jenna Bush Hager slammed by NYC dad for body-shaming — after 'Today' splashes his Speedo pics on national TVOver time, words intended to flatter someone can actually nudge a person to perform, conform, or shrink themselves to stay liked and continue to receive praise.If your partner grew up playing the peacekeeper in chaotic situations, this compliment might feel like overdue recognition. Yet, it can also come across as a reward for their silence.“When emotional suppression is praised in adult relationships, it reinforces the message that your worth lies in being agreeable and low-maintenance,” Travers said. This specific type of praise given to your partner could cause them to feel that they must remain calm — even when they’re not. They may feel encouraged to keep that mask on, even at the cost of their true feelings. Single women resort to stealing men’s lunches to get asked out on a date: ‘Why is it getting to this point?’People actually experience better mental health when they have multiple people they can turn to to process their emotional needs, each filling different roles—venting, calming or cheering. “This diversity in emotional support leads to greater well-being, because no single relationship is overloaded with the task of holding it all,” Travers explained to the outlet.“If you and your partner regularly use these phrases, it’s a sign that you’re already a mentally strong couple,” Morin told Make It. “And if you don’t yet, you can start implementing them and find that you’ll grow stronger both individually and as a unit.”Saying to your romantic partner, “I’m going to tell you something that may be upsetting to hear” is one of them. “Acknowledging your mistakes and being honest about your needs can help you grow stronger together,” Morin said.“When you take responsibility for your share, you increase the chances that your partner will accept responsibility for theirs, too,” Morin said. “Then you can both put your energy into developing a solution, rather than getting stuck pointing fingers and arguing about who caused the problem.” Lastly, “Let’s find a solution” is another important sentence to say when your partner is struggling with something. “While some problems are ultimately in your partner’s hands, like an issue they’re having with their boss, offering to work together shows that you’re invested in helping them make the best decision for themselves,” Morin explained.Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness, dead at 76 Billionaire Charles Cohen faces confiscation of wine, mansions, superyachts and Ferraris over loan defaults Trump says Obama 'guilty' of 'treason' for ordering 2016 Russia investigation: 'Time to go after people'See All
