6 Things Never to Say in the Heat of an Argument

1. "I want a divorce/breakup."

Words you can't un-say. The relationship remembers even if you "didn't mean it."

1. "You're just like [negative person]."

Comparisons are landmines.

1. "I don't even care anymore."

The death blow wrapped in indifference.

1. "Everyone agrees with me."

Triangulating other people into your fight.

1. "You're [attacking their character]."

Attack the behavior. Not the person.

1. "Fine. Do whatever you want."

Contempt dressed up as surrender.

Pause before you speak. Some words leave permanent damage.
