Somethings you just don’t say via text. As your mama once told you, “If you don’t have anything nice to text, then don’t text anything at all.” Except definitely still text — not texting someone back is worse than texting the wrong thing.
Here are nine things you should never text your partner.
1. Calm down. 
Don’t even get me started on this one. First, it’s misogynistic. Second, it’s condescending. Third, it completely invalidates your partner’s feelings. Fourth, why don’t YOU calm down?
2. Whatever. 
Well that’s really mature. Don’t be a preteen. Say what you mean.
3. I’m fine. 
Fine stands for: Fucked up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional. Say how you’re actually feeling. If it’s OK, then say OK.
4.
See what I did there? Don’t leave him hanging — especially in the middle of a fight. It will drive him absolutely mad. (That was your whole point, wasn’t it?) Don’t do that to someone you love.
5. That will be easy. 
What if it's not easy for him? How do you think that’s going to make him feel?
6. Like I said before... 
Cut her some slack. Yeah, so you already told her so. But from what it sounds like, she already messed up. Don’t make her feel worse than she’s already feeling.
7. Whatever you want for dinner is fine. 
All right, so this one isn’t that bad, more of a pet peeve of mine. If she asks what you want for dinner, even if you don’t care, just list a few options. Otherwise, you end up going back and forth, never eating, and getting hangry.
8. No. 
No what? Never just say "no." Explain why you’re saying "no." If you don't, you’re asking for a fight.
9. I’m going to murder your face and eat it. 
I’m not sure why you would ever send that text to your boyfriend, but definitely don’t...
