It’s nice you want to help me clean, but I can do it faster myself.”

Sure, you may have certain chores down to a science, and after a long day it might feel easier to just do them yourself — but if he wants to help, let him!

“I’m amazed you were able to fix the leaky faucet.”

Don’t act surprised when he pulls off a project without professional help. Telling a man you’re ‘shocked’ by his capabilities is a huge hit to his self-esteem.

“You’re the only person I can talk to.”

Not all men don’t like this compliment, but some might feel overwhelmed by a statement like this. It puts pressure on him to be the only support system.

“This gift isn’t quite my taste, but it’s the thought that counts.”

Tell him he’s thoughtful, yes. But sometimes telling him a gift isn’t your taste does more harm than good. Acknowledge the generosity behind his present and before the next special occasion.

“You’re so cute!”
