You may think saying your husband looks cute trying to fix the lawn mower is music to his ears, but he's hearing a different tune. Women's words of praise can sit the wrong way with their spouses. Sometimes emotional responses, like frustration and excitement, creep into compliments and unintentionally wound guys' pride. "When giving a compliment, put it in the best light possible to show you really appreciate him," says Match.com relationship expert Whitney Casey. Here, experts dish on 10 compliments that could use a man-friendly makeover.
1. "It's so sweet you want to help me clean up, but I can do it faster myself."
2. "I'm amazed you were able to fix the leaky faucet."
3. "I fold the laundry this way, but thanks for trying without me asking."
4. " You're the only person I can talk to."
5. "You're so cute!"
6. "This gift isn't quite my taste, but it's the thought that counts."
