Being sarcastic

說話刻薄

While you can pass the odd sarcastic quip off as a joke, there is often a deep seated hostility towards your partner at play behind the persistent use of sarcasm to put your partner down.

當你把冷嘲熱諷當笑話說時，說明你內心深處對他充滿敵意，希望通過不斷的挖苦打擊他。

If you want your relationship to flourish it's time to look inwards and work out why you're behaving this way before it's too late.

如果你希望關系融洽，在無法挽回之前趕快自省，挖出作祟的惡魔。

You might find your partner starts to push you away or avoids spending time with you out of fear and anger – being on the receiving end of sarcasm can be especially wearing.

你或許發現對方已開始回避你，或出于恐懼和惱怒不愿和你在一起——被諷刺挖苦的滋味可不好受啊！
