LITTLE LIES

Glamour.com took an amusing look at the 10 Little Lies Women Tell Each Other. Recognize any of these?

Sure, you should totally get a third cat!

I'm glad he went for you. I'm not that into Italian soccer players.

Of course you and your boyfriend can stay with me for a week. I'll just sleep on the couch- it's no problem.

Bethenny who? I don't even watch that show.

No, no, yours is much more tasteful than the typical tramp stamp.

Nah, I don't really want dessert either.

You went with the plaid walls! Nice!

I know he's bad for me, and I promise I am so over him.

This was really fun. I love a good closet clean-out!

Honey, that's just water weight -- it'll come right off as soon as you have the baby.




THE 6 WORST THINGS YOU CAN SAY TO YOUR GUY

OK, insulting his mom or screaming the name of your ex in bed will definitely get you into hot water -- but what about the stuff you say day-in day-out? What if you're dropping loaded phrases and harming your relationship, and you don't even realize it?
Cosmo reveals the six worst things you can say to your guy ...

1. "You're so much better than all the other jerks I've dated." Two strikes in one sentence: One, it makes you sound like you've had terrible luck with men, and the common thread is ... you. Two, if every guy ended up being a jerk ... he'll think he's going to get called one too, so why try to bond? If you value this one, don't mention exes, focus on the man in front of you ...

2. "Can you really afford that?" Many guys tie their self worth to their monetary worth, so skip criticizing him ... unless, say, he's buying you a second Ferrari (that's a little overboard, don' t you think?) Even worse, you sound like his mom. Ugh, unsexy to the max.

3. "So we're running a little late. Relax." He hates to be late, so why are you putting down his pet-peeve? Don't tell him how to feel, or accidentally pick a fight; instead, try to acknowledge his feelings. Try, "I'm sorry. I know this is important. I'll try to keep better track of time." See? Argument diffused, and a reminder that his feelings are important to you.

4. "He's a great guy -- you should be friends with him." Playing friend-match-maker may seem nice, but basically you'll just create reasons to be suspicious of your motives. If you want him to hit it off with someone, introduce them at a group thing, then back off.

5. "She made me promise not to tell, but ..." You think you're building intimacy... but you're just being a gossip. You're essentially calling attention to why you can't be trusted (with his secrets)! If you feel the need to divulge or talk something out, try starting off with, "I'm only telling you this because I trust you to keep a secret."

6. "Don't be silly -- I haven't done that in ages." Just because coupledom has tamed your wild ways doesn't mean you shouldn't be willing to let loose on occasion. It's like saying "I used to be fun ... but get used to dullsville, pal." Don't forget to have "old" fun now and then!
