You may be angry. You may be raging mad. But you still should never say these 12 things to your husband if you want to continue to be married. In the heat of the moment, we all say things we do not mean but these specific, unforgivable phrases should never cross your lips. Marriage is hard enough without adding these insults into the mix.

“You Are Useless”
Wow. This is a sure way to make your husband feel awful. Telling your husband that he is useless will just make him feel terrible. It will not improve anything and potentially make your situation worse. Your husband will feel underappreciated and probably a little sad too. You should try to be nicer than this.
“You’re Just Like My Ex”
Not only is bringing up an ex-lover a bad idea but comparing your husband to someone you broke up with is also not smart. You did not marry that person for a good reason. Saying your husband is acting the same essentially says you do not want to be married to him, either.
“Why Aren’t You More Like….”
Comparing your husband to someone else is just a bad idea in general. This is especially true when you are claiming the other person to be better in some way. If you like someone else more than your husband, maybe you should have just married them.
“I’ll Divorce You If…”
Threatening your husband with divorce is simply not nice. Threatening him in general is wrong, but implying that something is so bad that you will leave him is just mean. Don’t do it.
“You Should Join a Gym”
Telling your husband to join a gym implies that he is overweight and out of shape. He may feel self-conscious about his weight, so it is polite not to point it out. You can encourage him to be healthier in other ways that are not so rude.
“You’re a Total Slob”
Your husband will not want to help you around the house if you are constantly calling him a slob. It may even make him act more like a slob. One thing is for sure, he won’t want to live with someone who criticizes his every move.
“I Don’t Need You”
We know that you are a strong and independent person. You don’t need a man around in order to survive. But people like to feel needed and valued. Telling your husband that he is not a necessary part of your life is pretty mean. You may not need him but you still want him, right? So be nice.
“Your Family is Awful”
Not everyone is lucky enough to come from a great family. Maybe your husband's family seriously is the worst but don’t go around saying that. Your husband may take it as a personal attack on him. He is, after all, part of that family! And now, you are too…
“I Need Money”
Treating your husband like an ATM is not part of a healthy marriage. If you are constantly asking him for money rather than budgeting or earning money yourself, he may start to look at you a little differently. Don’t use him like a bank account.
“I Don’t Love You”
If you want to stay married, don’t tell your husband that you no longer love him. However, if you honestly don’t love him, then maybe you shouldn’t be married anyway. Just don’t throw this sentence around freely.
“You’re So Boring”
Maybe your husband likes to hang out and watch TV. Maybe he just wants to go to the golf course every single day. Maybe you are not interested in any of these activities. That doesn’t mean that your husband is boring. You just need to find something you both like to do together.
“I Wish I Never Married You”
Do not tell your husband that you regret marrying him, especially if you want to continue to stay married. Once these words are out of your mouth, you can never take them back. Think long and hard before you tell your husband something as drastic as this.
