There are things you should never tell your partner, or let your partner say to you. If there is an element of abuse in your relationship, it needs to end. You can either discuss the situation in order to fix it, or you can break up. There's no reason to put up with emotional abuse. Here are some crucial things you should never tell your partner, or let your partner say to you:

1. I'll Leave if...

You can't give your partner an ultimatum over every little thing. Don't claim that you'll break up with them if they refuse to go to your friend's party, or if they keep snoring in their sleep. Constantly warning your partner that you'll leave them over their little actions is one of the things you should never tell your partner, or let a partner say to you. It's a way to control you, and it's incredibly unhealthy.

2. I'd Kill Myself

Never threaten suicide. It's not fair to your partner. Do you really want them to stay with you out of fear that you'll harm yourself? You can't try to sway someone's opinion by saying that you'll hurt yourself, because it'll make their decision even more difficult.

3. You're Useless

It's rude to tell someone that they're useless, especially when you're the person whom they love the most. Hearing the words from anyone can be scarring, but hearing them from someone they care about is devastating. If you're angry, tell them why you're angry instead of yelling out insults that will hurt them.

4. Be More like Him/her

You can't compare your partner to an ex, or to any other person in your life. It sets unrealistic standards for them, and if you like someone else better, then you should leave to be with them. There's no reason to continue your comparisons, and keep hurting the person who loves you.

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. I Hate Your Parents

Don't bring your partner's parents into an argument just to get them angry. It's not your partner's fault that their father is an alcoholic, so why throw it into their face? It has nothing to do with them, which is why it's a low blow. It's just an easy way to hurt them when you have nothing better to say.

6. I Could do Better

If your partner thinks they can do better, leave them and let them find out the truth. There's no reason to stay with someone who doesn't see how amazing you are. Your partner is supposed to believe you're the greatest thing on Earth. It's healthy for him to recognize your flaws, but it's unhealthy for him to dwell on them and use them against you.

7. Nothing

Ignoring your partner can be just as bad as screaming at them. If you never talk to or touch the person you're dating, something is wrong. It's normal to occasionally have a fight that lasts a while, but if your isolation has been going on for months, it's time to end things.

Emotional abuse is not something to take lightly. If your partner treats you terribly, then you shouldn't settle for them. No matter how much history you have and how much you love them, you can leave to find someone better suited for you. Have you ever been a part of an unhealthy relationship?

Emotionally abusive relationships scar you just at bad as physical abuse. After hearing over and over that you are not worthy you start believing it. I left the relationship, and I am seeking counseling now. I am constantly struggling with self-esteem issues. If anyone is in this situation I suggest they leave and seek help. We all deserve so much more.

I don't think you should leave your partner for some of these things, it depends. If they say "I can do better", don't leave them. They are just insecure and need help.

Hi Ladies, the picture has been changed. I can assure you that there was nothing calculated in the choice of the photo. the photo editing team is multi-racial so they would never have chosen a racially provocative image other than by mistake.

Neecey Beresford, I also meant to add that the content of the posting itself is very important and relevant and should not be experienced by anyone.

I'm on here because it gives me an outlet to express my feelings and what I'm going through. I've tried the sweetness. But it doesn't work. I say he cheating and evidence proves like so. Other things have happened. That I'll not mention here. I'm here for support for me. When I post. I tell it as it has happened. I think he is hanging onto me so he doesn't have to face a divorce. But the cheating is what I'm talking about. Phones locked. Separate bank accounts. The list goes on. But the disrespect is the worse. After 30 years you'd think I could get a little. But no! The man rules. He's made me physically sick. But can I leave no. I can't take care of myself on my salary plus I'm sick with vertigo. So unless you have some good advise for me then keep r mouth shut .

If I find hair on r husband clothes after he's been out. You know it's not yours. What do you do? He's a hunter so I know he's not been around other females in the woods. Or as he.

Being ignored is hell. I just came out of a relationship were I was served silent treatment for weeks. The worst was 3weeks. That's when I decided to leave

You'd need to get counselling for these issues, especially #2. Have to agree with #1, I've said this in anger before, not realising the damage it does

When a husband emotionally abuses his wife to the point where the children turn against the mom is the worst hurt a mother could feel. My husband has said so many things about me and gets my grown daughters involved. It's sick. They have a rapport with their dad but not me. I'm ALWAYS the bad guy. Everything my fault. If I try to talk to him he starts yelling and blames it on me. They believe him. It's sad. I can have a relationship because every time I try to voice my opinion the conversation turns sour and I get the blame. Even if I don't raise my voice. Its killing me. One time I was trying to talk to my h and he yelled telling my daughter I was trying to abuse him. It's sick.
