According to a relationship expert, these two sentences spell the death sentence for your relationship

“Words are loaded guns,” said Jean-Paul Sartre.

Simple words can really manage to sow chaos and cause more harm to a person than one can imagine. This is even more important for a couple, where every romantic interaction we have can actually affect the future of the relationship.

When our relationship is already strained, a mispronounced word or sentence thrown out without thinking can act as the straw that breaks the camel’s back and thus accelerate the relationship to its end.

According to Cosmopolitan, according to relationship expert Kristina Viro, there are even sentences that, when uttered by one of the partners, almost automatically sign the couple’s death sentence, reducing your chances of saving this relationship to just 1 percent.

Among all these not-to-be-understood phrases that could indicate your relationship is coming to an end, there are two that are meant to have a special meaning. According to Kristina Viro, the first is this affirmation, which is alarming to say the least: “I am the way I am, and that’s all.”

Although this may seem trivial, according to the expert, it would be a way for a person to indicate that he has no intention of trying to change and that he intends to remain firmly anchored in his positions.

For Kristina, if we had to rephrase this sentence revealing its hidden messages, it would therefore read: “I have no desire to change my behavior. This is what you chose, so take it or leave it.”

But still, according to the specialist, this sentence is far from being the worst or worrying, the one that acts as a real alarm signal is when your partner dares to tell you: “Okay, you want to cheat on me? Okay, do what you want, I don’t care, really.”

This shows that he/she has completely stopped caring about anything in your relationship and is completely detached from it. When you reach this point of apathy and indifference, it’s usually because there’s not much left in your vase to salvage, as Kristina points out.

In any case, communication remains the best way to calm these conflicts, in the one and only case when both partners are open to dialogue and both are ready to put their cards on the table to try to fix the problems that have arisen.
