5 Tips on How to Say No in a Relationship
4. Give a cute excuse
While this will definitely not work all the time and can get really annoying if over-done, but once in a while, you could take the advantage of being a girl. If you can be really cute with even the silliest excuse, your partner may just let go of it this once. You can cover up your ‘no’ with a little cuddling and kissing. Love doesn’t hurt anyone. But make sure that you don’t try this trick for a matter that is really serious.
5. Set your priorities right
In order to say ‘no’, you have to have your priorities right. Also, make sure that your partner knows about these priorities. That way, when he asks you for something, he will already have an idea if you are going to say no or yes. Informing your partner of your basic priorities is a good way to start any relationship. Next, when you are actually saying ‘no’, do so with confidence. This does not mean that you don’t give him any reasons, but don’t have a guilty face. There is nothing wrong in saying no.
