We’ve all done it. Whether we were sweating from the heat of an argument or all our common sense was absorbed and forcefully expelled by a giant brain fart, everyone has had that mortifying moment they let something stupid slip from their lips to their partner. Redditors gathered in r/AskMen to share their most embarrassing mess-ups and offer an empathetic shoulder, reassuring each other they aren’t alone. Women also dropped by to chime in with their facepalm-worthy blunders and stories of things they wish they’d never heard from their boyfriends and husbands. When the OP asked men what they wish they never said to their partners, an overwhelming number of people thought they were unique and hilarious, answering, “Will you marry me?” and “I do.” We saw that one coming from a mile away, so we’ve cleared those from our list, leaving you with only the most touching and genuinely funny answers that might make your own story feel a lot lighter.
The Chatty Kathy
“Quiet” isn’t in everyone’s vocabulary. They’ll talk about everything and anything to anyone whenever they have the chance. Women are stereotypically regarded as being chattier than men, but the boys can be just as bad. My dad was the type who would take you on a two-hour odyssey of his life story in detail even though he had just met you in the checkout line in the grocery store.
We all loved him anyway, the same way u/PersonalityMan loves his chatterbox of a girlfriend. We can tell this Redditor believes honesty is the best policy because he told the truth, but the “I don’t mind” padding wasn’t enough to dampen the blow, and he still hasn’t heard the end of it.
