People have such a thing as white lie. That is, of course, we are all taught from childhood to always tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. But there are situations when we are clearly aware that if we tell everything honestly, there will be much more problems than if we lie or just remain silent.

This applies, in particular, to such a sensitive area as relationships, both for women and men. There are things that you should never, under any circumstances, tell your significant others - unless, of course, you don't want your marriage or partnership to be happy and lasting.

And so, a few days ago, a question appeared in the AskReddit community addressed to all men: "What's something boys can never tell their girlfriends?" As of today, the thread already has 13.8K of various comments, and the number of upvotes is way higher - almost 38.8K.

Bored Panda compiled a selection of the most popular, witty, unexpected and sometimes cynical comments for you, so feel free now to scroll to the very end and maybe add your own opinion in the comments. And if you are interested in a similar selection of women's opinions - then just open and definitely read this post of ours.

30 Things Guys Should Never, Ever Say To Their Partners, As Shared In This Online Group In my case "Whatcha thinking about?"

My wife asks me all the time and I've been day dreaming about what it would be like if I owned that McDonalds across the street and then after falling in a vat of radioactive fry grease was able to turn into Ronald at night. I would fight crime but only if it was food related and all of my weapons would be burger condiment themed. Then I'm thinking about aerodynamics of pickles as shurikans and what process I would use to make them sturdy and sharp enough to be lethal.

It's a lot easier to just say "spacing out" then see her cute face raise an eyebrow in concern if I'm working too much again.

30 Things Guys Should Never, Ever Say To Their Partners, As Shared In This Online Group The only thing a good guy said to me that he shouldn’t have is we went out to a nice Valentine’s Day dinner at my favorite Indian restaurant- got all dressed up which was not our usual style as poorish retail workers- were having a wonderful time, and he said “Yeah {his ex} and I came here for Valentine’s Day once.” Totally ruined the moment for me lol. I thought it was so special but he’d been there done that.

30 Things Guys Should Never, Ever Say To Their Partners, As Shared In This Online Group 14 years ago, I woke up before you on a weekend. I was watching an episode of Batman the Animated Series. You woke up half way through the episode and picked up the remote and changed the channel. You knew I was watching and I never got to see the end of the episode. I'm still salty about it.

That is soo rude. I would never turn the channel on someone who had it before me. I would ask if I could change it. My SO ask me all the time if he could change the channel. I always say yes bc usually whatever I am watching I can go back to.

I will never understand this. The past is the past. I still talk to some of my ex’s, not very often though. I do talk to one ex on 9/11 almost every year just to catch up. Hubby always knows. Edit: ex and I were together when 9/11 happened. We were on our way to college and turned around and went back to his house and watched it on tv with his parents.

30 Things Guys Should Never, Ever Say To Their Partners, As Shared In This Online Group The extent to which I spend money on movies, games, books, comics, etc.

But honestly, we have a mutually-assured-destruction-type deal going where she also doesn’t have to tell me how much all the plants and vintage clothes cost.

Edit: Huh, this got a lot bigger overnight. Just to address some things: there’s a level of playful overstatement here for comedic effect. We’re not spending catastrophic amounts of money on our hobbies. But you know how it is, sometimes you’d be weirded out about spending for hobbies you don’t share.

I’d also note that we do save, we both have solid jobs, and we’re financially stable overall. Thanks for the concern, though.

I know of a marriage that ended because one person wouldn't quit investing their entire life savings in the stock market. They were forgiven the first time (half the savings.) Did it a second time, last warning. Lost everything a third time, divorce.
