Questions Not To Ask Each Other 

We’ve reviewed dozens of “how well do you know me questions” for couples. Now let’s flip the coin and consider what questions you should never ask. Because not every curiosity needs to be satisfied. Things that serve no supportive purpose in the present should perish alongside the past.

With that in mind, let’s look at ten forbidden queries.

1. Who did you sleep with before me?

Knowing your partner's sexual health history is smart. Do they have an STI or STD? Heck, ask for proof of a clean bill of health if you must. But do you really need to know about every person they slept with before you? Leave it in the past.

2. What's wrong with you?

Open-ended questions like this are hurtful — whether coming from a colleague, friend, or romantic partner. Nobody is all wrong or right. Simply put: Flicking insensitive and dismissive questions at your partner isn't kind.

3. What does your dream partner look like?

They'll describe you to a “T” if they're smart. But are they being truthful? The doubt will inevitably set in, leading to hours of insecurity and stress-inducing rumination. Besides, being put on the spot like that is about as pleasant as a third-degree burn.

4. Which one of my friends are you most attracted to?

Do not pass go! Restrain yourself! You never need to know the answer to this question. Be confident in your relationship and put it out of your mind.  

5. Do you love me? (On Repeat)

Repeatedly asking someone if they love you is the linguistic equivalent of someone incessantly tapping you on the shoulder while meekly whispering your name with each intrusive touch. It's crazy-making and reeks of insecurity — both of which are major turn-offs. 

6. How do I look in this outfit? / Do I look fat in this outfit?

Can we be brutally honest with each other for a second and admit this question really translates to, Please tell me I'm sensational looking. So when someone answers honestly, the blow feels especially brutal. Avoid compliment fishing by tossing this question from your lexicon.

7. What do you say about me in therapy?

If you want to know what your partner says about you in therapy, book a couple's therapy appointment. Otherwise, what happens on the couch stays on the couch. 

8. Can I join your [insert activity]?

Clinginess is unattractive. Moreover, having hobbies outside of your significant other is healthy. So don't elbow your way into your partner's teams, groups, and extracurricular activities. If they want you to join, they'll ask.

9. What's your password?

Everyone deserves privacy. And no, refusing to turn over your password is not an admission of infidelity. Demanding a partner give you their password is the same as a parent forcing their kid to turn over a diary.

10. What do you think of [insert person]? / Why don't you like [insert person]?

Do you have a friend or family member who's non-negotiable? No matter what, they'll be in your life — but your partner isn't a huge fan.

In these cases, if your SO is willing to keep their mouth shut, respect it, and don't pester them with questions about why they feel this way or that. Enjoy your friend without your partner's approval.
