    Like, at what point between “honeymoon phase” and “curmudgeon phase” is it okay to say “Actually, dear, I’ve always hated chicken. I’ve only been pretending to like it to preserve your feelings and show you how much I appreciate you.”

    Anytime. Just don’t be a dick about it

      If “Just don’t be a dick about it” were actually good advice, then life would be a lot more peaceful.

      It’s not though, and “being a dick” is not required for the wrong thing said at the wrong time to seriously upset one’s partner.
