Save your best self for the outside world (How to ruin a perfectly good relationship)
Be socially charming, attentive to others in public and even flirtatious. Put on your best clothes and your best attitude when you go out. Be the life of the party and use humour and wit to entertain everybody.
But turn into a completely different person as soon as you are alone with your spouse.
In private be silent, critical, mean or aggressive. Never get the joke. Don't bother with personal grooming or charm.
This will ensure the speedy demise of your relationship because your spouse will soon recognize that you are capable of being nice, attentive and charming – just not to them.
If you wanted to save your relationship on the other hand, try this instead:
Adopt the stranger standard.
Be AT LEAST as good to your spouse as you are to others.
AT LEAST as good. At least as good to your spouse as you are to others if you want to have a stable relationship.
To have a healthy and loving relationship, you need to give your best self to those that matter most.
