A friend sent this to me and I ran it by my husband which has found this a little helpful. *Nine words women use.
1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to be quiet.
2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments the begin with 'nothing' usually end in 'fine'.
4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. DON'T DO IT!
5. Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing)
6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. 'That's Okay' means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question or faint. Just say 'you're welcome.' (I want to add a clause here - this is true unless she says 'thanks a lot' - that is pure sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'. That will bring on a 'whatever')
8. Whatever: This is a woman's way of saying (insert your own thoughts).
9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something a woman has asked a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' - for the woman's response refer to #3.
I used one of these already this morning lol
Run them by your significant other and see if they find them helpful.
