Being sarcastic

说话刻薄

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.

当你把冷嘲热讽当笑话说时，说明你内心深处对他充满敌意，希望通过不断的挖苦打击他。

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.

如果你希望关系融洽，在无法挽回之前赶快自省，挖出作祟的恶魔。

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.

你或许发现对方已开始回避你，或出于恐惧和恼怒不愿和你在一起——被讽刺挖苦的滋味可不好受啊！
