You know those moments when something slips out of your mouth, you hear yourself saying it, and your smarter inner voice is screaming, “Nooooo… ohhh boy… you did it now. Abort! Abort! Freeze! Don't make eye contact now. ”
But instead of stopping, you keep talking—trying to fix it—and somehow, impressively, it just keeps getting worse.

Welcome to verbal quicksand. There is no climbing out. Especially not when your buddy tries to help by chiming in. (Now you’re both sinking.)

Even when your intentions are pure, there are certain phrases that will absolutely land you in hot water.

“But honey, there’s more of you to love,” and
“Dearest, those swimsuit models HAVE NOT had two children,”

It may sound supportive in your head… but they will not be received with gratitude, understanding, or mercy.

Our professional recommendation? Stop. Breathe. And try something like this instead:

“I love you exactly as you are. You amaze me, you’re beautiful to me, and I’m grateful every day that I get to be with you.”

Then stop talking. 

Let the silence work for you this time....
