Recently, while chatting with my best friend about the little intricacies of love, I suddenly realized how interesting girls can be in relationships. We always prefer to use some "code words" to express our true feelings, leaving the boys utterly confused. Today, I want to share with you what lies behind the common phrases girls use in relationships.

"I'm fine" is definitely one of the most classic "lies" girls tell. On the surface, it seems like we're putting on a brave face, but deep down, we might be screaming, "Come and comfort me!" As my best friend said, every time she argues with her boyfriend, she's fuming inside but still pretends to be strong and says, "I'm fine." Then her boyfriend actually believes she's fine and goes off to play video games, leaving her stomping her feet in frustration.

Then there's the phrase, "You go ahead and be busy," which sounds very considerate, right? But the underlying message is, "I'm being so understanding, shouldn't you drop what you're doing and spend time with me?" I remember once when my boyfriend was working overtime, I texted him, "You go ahead and be busy," and he really didn't get back to me until midnight. The next day, I angrily asked him, "Couldn't you have taken a moment to reply?" He looked at me innocently and said, "But you told me to be busy."

The most amusing yet frustrating word is "whatever." Guys, when you hear your girlfriend say "whatever," don't take it literally! It's actually a test of how well you understand each other. Like my cousin, when her boyfriend asked her what she wanted for dinner and she said "whatever," he took her to a hotpot place she hates, and she didn't speak to him for a week.

Thinking about it, the reason we girls use these "code words" is largely due to a lack of security. We're always worried that being too forward might make us seem less valuable, or that expressing our needs directly might lead to rejection. That's why we resort to these indirect ways of communication. But honestly, this kind of communication can easily lead to misunderstandings.

As "Candy Girl v" mentioned in the comments, this is indeed a common issue for girls in relationships. We always hope that the other person can read our minds, forgetting that men and women really do think differently. Instead of making them guess, it's better to express our feelings and needs directly, which can actually make the relationship smoother.

So, ladies, instead of making your boyfriends guess, try expressing your feelings directly. After all, someone who truly loves you won't disdain your honesty but will appreciate your sincerity. Of course, guys should also put in more effort to understand their girlfriends' "code words," because a relationship is a two-person endeavor that requires mutual effort to thrive.

Finally, I want to ask everyone, do you have any special "code words" in your relationship? Feel free to share your stories in the comments below~
