10 Phrases That Can Make Your Partner Feel Ignored (And How to Fix Them)

  1. “Whatever.”
    • Why It’s Harmful: This dismissive word shows a complete lack of care and interest in what your partner is saying.
    • Better Alternative: “I need some time to think. Let’s continue this discussion later.” This provides a moment for reflection without shutting down communication.
  2. “You’re too sensitive.”
    • Why It’s Harmful: This statement dismisses your partner’s feelings and creates emotional distance, stifling open dialogue.
    • Better Alternative: “I want to understand why this is upsetting you.” This approach shows that you are open to hearing their side.
