How do you react to sudden criticisms from your other half?

I think that it would very much depend on how that criticism was put across to me. For example if it was said in the sense that I was doing something that annoyed him then that might be okay because it is something that I can change, however if they were just giving criticism that was not helping anything then I think that it would just be cruel. If you love somebody then you really shouldn't want to treat them like this, so I would have to talk to them about why they were behaving this way and whether there was anything that could be changed.

When things goes this way, love seems to drift away. Insulting each other is the least thing to happen to every couple who promised love to each other. Once insulting starts in any relationship- it's not worth keeping for. I couldn't live with someone who will insult me and also sleeps with me- it's better to separate ways than losing respect to each other.

i take it seriously and always work on it to improvise myself and learn more.we must be like that so we can progress higher

I have learned through life that unless you take comments or criticisms from other people with an open mind and heart, then you will never go far in terms of your ability and emotional preparedness to connect and establish strong relationships with people you love, respect and admire. Especially in a marriage, it takes two to tango, as they say. You can't expect your partner to agree with everything you say or do. There are times, and they are often, that your partner will just go against the very grain of what you expect things should go. And when they make comments or criticisms that seemed to dash your expectations to pieces, all you need to do is take to heart what you hear and just move on. You can't change a person's viewpoint by imposing your own ideas and perceptions of life. But you can make yourself a better person by calibrating your reactions to other people's thoughts, ideas and comments about you. You are not supposed to be defined by what your partners says or do. You control your life and you shape your own destiny. Just be the best that you can be, regardless of what others say, believe in yourself, think good thoughts and stay positive. God has a plan and purpose and you are blessed to be part of that plan. Have a great day.

Maybe the "honeymoon" period is over. When you're married some times you have to compromise, some times you might do things that your spouse/partner doesn't like and vice versa. Some times you just have to accept each other for who you are. If your truly in love with your partner, you will not find fault in them just accept that that's the way they are.

You're still in the adjusting stage. Most newly-weds, me included, also went through. I actually am still adjusting but because my husband is a very good critic, meaning he delivers them nicely and not in a very anatagonizing way, I appreciate it. Afterall, I prefer him speaking out to me that way than just keep his silence and me not knowing whatever's on his mind.

That is what I call the time of adjustments was around your relationship.You did not realized,that the true color of yourself and your husband would be clearly observed,when the two of you lives together for the betterment or for the worst. You could now observe so many things about your husband,whom you know was very sweet and caring for your relationship,yet now was stubborn an d all bad habits are seen because you were living together.The same was he to you,that you are truly not beautiful now that you have been busy with household chores,and smelly and was pregnant and keeps on sleeping.My,God! You two must tale note,that is a part of being married life already,so you just have all the necessary understanding to make your marriage going great.You can not do anything bad,as you wanted to marry this guy,so was he,so self control must be with you both always to love and take good care of your relationship.

This is the part in every relationship where differences would surely cause irritation, lol! Probably a period adjustment of really knowing what each one really wants, sort of a personality difference check, and in the end love and respect would surely be compromised, and the only option is to forgive, forget and move on, lol!

i guess its normal that when a husband and a wife argue they say things they dont mean to. anyway its normal that as you know someone better you start to see their good things and bad things. but thats why love exists. to love a guy for me is to love him with his flaws too^^ otherwhise it wouldnt be the guy i loved. that is just a prove that you love the other person if you see also his flaws.

I think that with time things do start to change in every marriage. Not that this is all bad but it does affect how each spouse respond to one another. In the beginning of the relationship there are such great and wonderful feelings, over time though the daily activities of life can cause spouses to take one another for granted.

my brother just got married and i was thinking along the same lines as you. i wondered what could make two lovebirds start seeing awry facts about themselves days after marriage? as others have said, one thing is for sure, they are going through a period of adjustment. another is that they had an opt-out clause in their love contract which accommodates for a second option. marriage does not accommodate for that. it is for "better or for worse" and sometimes, some couples don't understand it very well. one day, i'll get married so i can find a third reason. happy married life in advance.
