I was watching the show Kendra on Top yesterday. It’s like one of my guilty pleasure shows cause just like some of other shows I watch I have yet to figure out why I watch it. I guess I just like Kendra she is kind of funny to me and I can always count on her to something crazy or say something kind of funny. On last night’s episode she was in a car accident. After the accident her doctor called and told her he saw something on her catscan that indicated she had a stroke. So after sending her for an MRI she was given a clean bill of health. Later in the episode she and her husband Hank were laying in bed and she asked him if she died would she remarry and then he ask her the same question. I being a person who likes to yell at my tv screen or talk to it (yes I am that person) yelled at my screen for neither one of them to answer that question. Why? To me there is no right or wrong answer to that question. Besides why should someone care what their spouse does after they pass away. You are no longer here on this earth there for your significant other has no more obligations to you. They have every right to move on. But I will admit I have been guilty of asking this question. I mean I can’t explain why. So I’ve decided to add other questions that I think couples should not ask each other and explain my reasoning why.
1. You should never ask your significant other how many people they have slept with. Even if you suspect that they might have starred in videos on an adult entertainment website such as collegeporn.xxx in the past. That number is private. Now if this is a person that has been cheating on you then you have every right to answer this question but otherwise why does that number matter. As long as they are clear of STDs then the past should be left where it is. Sometimes once you find out the number your view of the person can completely change and therefore taint your relationship.
2. Never ask your spouse if sex with you is better than with their last relationship. For all you know they could have dated somebody who worked for somewhere like TubeV Polish, so asking that question is just looking for trouble. Lets be honest you are expecting them to say yes, but they may surprise you and say no. That isn’t necessarily a criticism of you, because they may have slept with some krakow escorts who are obviously going to be amazing in bed. Then you are asking a whole bunch of other questions that you shouldn’t ask. Like why is he/she better or what does he/she do that you don’t. Why does it matter anyway they are with you? Besides, if you both love each other, then you should be asking each other what arouses you, and what sexual dynamics you want to test. For example, once the sexual conversation has opened up you might find your partner has a side to them that you were totally unaware of and they might wish to incorporate toys that would be perfect for slaves or the likes. You never know, you might find you both start enjoying your intimate moments more than you have with an ex, and isn’t that what you’d both want if you were together?!
3. This one is mainly for the ladies. Don’t ask significant other if you are fat. Now most men if they are smart won’t walk into this trap. Yes I called it a trap. Most of you know good and well that if your significant other says yes that you are going to be angry. Then if they say honey I love you no matter what size you are you’re gonna go what’s that suppose to mean. So unless you are prepared for the honest answer don’t go into that territory.
4. Again this one is mainly for the ladies don’t ask your significant other if they like your hair do or outfit. Again if you aren’t prepared for the honest answer then don’t ask. I have my feelings hurt a few times because I spent time on my hair only to find out The Husband doesn’t like it. I have long since learned that if I ask he is going to be honest. However though if I like it then it’s okay he just may not be feeling that particular style. I’ve learned a long time ago that he prefers my hair in twists so anything besides that he really isn’t a fan of so I can respect that.
5. Do not and I repeat do not ask your significant other what he/she thinks of someone of the opposite sex that you noticed and then get mad when he says she looks good. I mean really if you point her out what is he supposed to say she’s ugly obviously you think highly of her or you wouldn’t point her out.
6. Don’t ask any weight questions. I think this pertains to men too. If you aren’t going to be supportive and try to help with the process then don’t comment on it. More than likely they know that they need to lose weight and don’t need any added reminders. Like if you are working out try to get them to join you or if you aren’t and both need to become more healthier then suggest that.
These are the only ones I can think of if you can think of anymore please share them. This is all basically saying if you don’t want the truth then don’t ask but if you are prepared for the truth then ask but you can’t necessarily get mad at the answer since you asked it.

I have to ask if I look fat in an outfit. Thankfully my hubs tells the truth and will say yes or no to how I look. I know I am fat I just want to make sure my outfit looks decent for the public. I asked my hubs how many he slept with when we first got together cause I needed to know and thankfully (if he didn’t lie) it wasn’t a whole gang of people. I am a curious person I need to know things lol Great tips

Ha ha ha!! I’m just saying accept the answer they give. Don’t get upset with them for their response
Bernetta says
Some of these I agree with. But the weight one and do I look good or do you like my hair. I do ask me husband (well not the weight one because I know how I look). But I always want him to be honest because I am to him. If he doesn’t like it, doesn’t mean I am changing it… I just want to know his why/why not. The remarry thing, I really don’t care…I actually know he would, why wouldn’t he. I would.

I’m just basically saying if you can’t except honesty then don’t ask
Demetra says
I agree with many of your points. The number of partners your spouse had before you is irrelevant, it’s the number of partners he has after you that matters! LOL!

I disagree with you. Yes, you should respect privacy and the bounds that you have set for one another, but the foundation of a good relationship is communication! Always speak your mind, make the disclaimer that you want the other to know how you feel, and don’t accuse or yell.
Encourage the other to bring any questions to the table, answer them honestly, and you will continue to foster a good relationship!
