4 questions to never ask your guy

Unless you want to bruise your love bond, these questions are best left unasked.


1. "Am I better-looking/smarter/etc. than your ex?"
Would you want him to ask you that? If he answers yes to your q, you'll wonder if he's lying. If he says no, well, can your really handle that kind of truth? He's with you now, not her, so just don't even go there.

2. "Do you love me?"
Has he used the L word already? Well, there's your answer. If he hasn't--and you absolutely have to know where he stands--you might start by telling him how you feel about him, rather than putting him on the spot with a needy question.

3. "Can you lend me some money?"
A few bucks is fine, but asking for anything substantial (like a down payment on your car, a month's rent, etc) is unfair. You don't sleep with your bank teller, so don't borrow cash from your boyfriend.

4. "Are you cheating on me?"
If he's innocent, he'll resent the question. If he's guilty, chances are that he'll lie...and even when you have info to backup your suspicions, you better soft-pedal your accusation. If you're wrong, your relationship may never recover.

    1. "Am I better-looking/smarter/etc. than your ex?"

    I don't need to ask. I have seen a photo of her and I am no beauty queen, but a huge imprevment over her.

    2. "Do you love me?"

    I sometimes ask in a joking way, but he genuinely tells me every days that he loves me. And better till He shows it.

    3. "Can you lend me some money?"

    DUH! I can look after myself thank you. Sure a few quid here and there goes both ways really but I pay for my stuff end of story.

    4. "Are you cheating on me?"

    I have told him hat the boundaries are and what would happen if he crossed them. From that point onward I trusted him. Besdies he's been at the receiving end of it and he knows how much it hurts.

    Although I really loved this article, I can't agree with the last one. Sometimes, asking point-blank about a suspicion you've been harboring is the only way to get it out in the open. If you're wrong, and you don't ask, you'll be thinking about it forever. If you're right, and you don't ask, things may end up being more drawn-out and painful than they have to be. Either way, right or wrong, it's the only way to open up the lines of communication, which we all know is the key to a lasting relationship.

    Peace.

    5. how many people have you slept with? Who wants to answer that??? That should definitely be added to the list.

    And I think during this economic hard times I should sleep with my bank teller.

    Vixenvena....that's #1 or should be! The four she mentioned shouldn't matter if you two are already married. I agree if you just dating as gf/bf. I have borrowed money from a boyfriend, I have told him I love him if I did, neither my first or my second husband had an x and my third I never compaired the two of us....because she was way younger when I finally did marry him. Although she was actually a beautiful lady and I told him so. I think it's every womens right to ask if they think their man is cheating on them whether they are married or not. So, I think the only real thing you should NEVER say is something about their manhood!
