5. Your tone is everything.
You will not believe how many times I’ve heard, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.” Make no mistake, these words are golden, lads. Because in places where even logic fails, your tone might just be your saving grace so don’t screw up there. Even if you have to call her the stupidest person on the planet. Whatever you say, say in the sweetest way possible. Throw in a “baby/ sweety /jaanu” just to be on the safer side. Whatever it is, do not make her cry because that will be the end of the discussion, and you.
6. In case you do end up shouting…
In the off chance that you do end up shouting (we are men, once-bitten-twice-shy doesn’t apply to us), make sure you justify that behaviour after the argument. The beauty of this is that it’s very subjective, and only over time will you learn what you need to say and how you need to say it. Everyone has a unique line and you need yours. Mine is “Baby, I only shout because you’re a loved one and people only shout at people they truly love,” so think on similar lines.
