Men warn: The things you should never say
A man thrives on compliments, good food, no nagging, and sports cable in HD, and if you provide all these, he will even tolerate the few times you get testy and even a little feisty. But there are some things you should never say, men warn, and words can hurt, so much so that he may just pack up and go.
Below, male readers share some things a woman should never say to her man, whether she actually means them or not.
Donavan, 36:
I don’t like when women are condescending. They must watch what they say, things like, ‘Yuh worthless like’ or ‘If mi di know mi woulda lef yuh long time’. It hurts to hear those things coming from a woman you’re supposed to love.
Andrew, 32:
Some woman love to tell you that you never do anything for them yet. Even when you give her the world, she just can’t satisfy.
Richard, 35:
Any attack on my ego will be met with staunch opposition, especially if she tells me that I’m not satisfying her sexually. Mi tek dah one deh personally!
Bradley, 37:
Don’t say I am just like your last boyfriend. Personally I don’t like being compared to other men, least of all your last boyfriend. How can we start afresh if she keeps on rehashing old history?
Michael, 34:
Some women like to dictate to you, not realizing that you are a man and capable of making your own decisions. They will say things like, ‘You should do this’ or ‘Mek you neva do that’. I’m not into that.
Kingsley, 37:
‘Who’s that girl I saw you with?’ I don’t like when a women builds in an accusation in her question. I’m sure you can understand that you do not and will not know every single woman I come into contact with. You should be okay with that and trust me enough. I’m your man for crying out loud!
